The GREAT Woman of Shunem | Daughters of the Hebrew Scriptures | 2 Kings 4

Season 7 | 2 Kings 4 | The GREAT Woman of Shunem

To end our season on Daughters of the Hebrew Scriptures, we turn to 2 Kings 4 and the story of the Shunammite Woman. Is she wealthy? Is she smart? Is she fat (not my word...listen to the podcast)? Is she savvy? Is she simply well-to-do? She is definitely worth talking about!

And if you didn't know the power of midrash to find meaning in the most unassuming place, look no further than our conversation about a table, a lamp, and a chair! Enjoy!

Afterthoughts

Something new this season is our invitation for you to join us on Patreon for our Afterthoughts. Steph, Lisa, and Jason will record a short afterthought at the conclusion of each episode. These will be posted on Patreon. We would love for you to add your afterthought in the comments section. Let's learn and wonder and wrestle together!

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
