Listen "The Tragic and Prophetic Life of Michal | Daughters of the Hebrew Scriptures | 1 Samuel 18"
Episode Synopsis
Season 7 | 1 Samuel 18 | The Tragic and Prophetic Life of Michal
Daughter of Saul. Wife of David. It would be easy to breeze past the story of Michal as she is bound and wound around the lives of some of the more well-known people of the Hebrew Scriptures. But that would be a mistake.
The complexity of Michal's life, and the powerful way in which she lives it - speaking truth to power, might be one of the most impact stories in the Hebrew Scriptures.

This is a 40 Orchards podcast.
At 40 Orchards, our mission is to create circles for all people to wrestle through biblical texts, so that— together— we can expand each other’s experience of what is sacred, whole, and good.
We search through the lens of sacred possibility; assuming there is more to be discovered, questioned, and applied as we listen for how God is still speaking.
You can learn more about 40 Orchards and sign-up for a study by going to 40Orchards.org
