Episode Synopsis

EP 5—In this episode, my friend and Bible Teacher Chanda Stegall and I discuss Proverb 31:1–20, a powerful and often misunderstood passage. Starting with the wisdom King Lemuel’s mother shared, we uncover timeless truths about justice, unity, and stewardship. We explore the contrast between using power to serve oneself versus using it to defend the rights of the poor and needy, as instructed in verses 8 and 9.We then transition to the "Ode to a Capable Wife," often seen as an unattainable checklist for women but, in reality, a poetic portrayal of Lady Wisdom in action. From her stewardship of time, materials, and family to her intentional care for the poor, this woman embodies a life shaped by the fear of the Lord.Join us as we unpack how this passage calls us to live lives of purpose, justice, and generosity. Together, let’s ask: How is God inviting us to stretch out our hands to those in need?Learn more about Chanda Stegall and her work at chandastegall.com.Resource Mentioned:Tyndale Bible DictionaryStay connected to The Needle Mover Effect community by visiting needlemovers.org/connect.
