In this episode I’m talking to Dr. Sandra Richter, a professor at Westmont College and expert in biblical studies, particularly the Old Testament.
Dr. Richter dives into her journey in ministry, her focus on studying figures like Deborah from the book of Judges, and the significance of understanding the Old Testament to fully grasp the New Testament.
We’re talking about uncommon courage, women's leadership, and the cultural complexities of scripture. This episode is packed with insights on how biblical teachings remain relevant today and practical ways to deepen your understanding of scripture.

Navigating Ministry as a Woman Leader:
The journey of stepping into ministry roles can be challenging, especially when cultural norms resist women in leadership. Embracing one’s calling with courage is essential. -
Why the Old Testament Matters:
Understanding the Old Testament offers essential context for fully grasping the New Testament, much like reading the early chapters of a story before the final ones. -
Lessons from Deborah's Leadership:
Deborah’s integrity, courage, and leadership in a patriarchal society provide a model for stepping into God-given roles despite opposition. -
The Meaning Behind the Number 12:
The number 12 carries symbolic significance throughout the Bible, representing leadership and structure—like the 12 tribes of Israel and the 12 judges in the book of Judges. -
