All God's Women takes listeners on a Bible study journey highlighting the stories of women in the Bible. We look at the familiar and famous Bible women as well as the obscure and unknown. Each has a story to tell, and host Sharon Wilharm loves sharing them. Discover life lessons we can take away from each of these ancient women and apply them to our modern day lives.

episode 7: Shiphrah and Puah: They Made the Right Choice
How do you respond to authority? Have you ever been asked you to do something that went against what you knew was right? Did you obediently follow? Did you resist? What DID you do?
In today’s episode of All God’s Women we look at Shiphrah and Puah, two midwives placed in a terrible position by their boss, the pharaoh of Egypt. To disobey his command meant they could be killed. To obey, however, meant they themselves would have to kill. As women positioned in a life and death situation, they chose life, even if it resulted in their own death.
