Change is coming to the Woman 31 Podcast! After three years of ministry and 91 episodes, we're unveiling a new name that better aligns with our mission of equipping believers through comprehensive Bible teaching.

The decision didn't come lightly. Though "Woman 31" holds special meaning (my husband once encouraged me by saying "you're a Proverbs 31 woman" after I had shelved the name), we've recognized a disconnect between our name and our ministry's scope. We don't exclusively focus on Proverbs 31 – we've studied women throughout scripture, explored the New Testament, and recently completed a series on effective Bible study methods. Our teaching encompasses the entirety of God's Word.

Some shared how names referencing Proverbs 31 can inadvertently create feelings of inadequacy or set an impossible standard. While no name pleases everyone, we wanted something that clearly bridges to our purpose: equipping saints to be better disciples through God's Word.

Rest assured that while our name is changing, our foundation remains unshaken. Christ is still our cornerstone.

We're also expanding to Instagram to better connect with our international audience across different time zones. This platform will allow us to share more practical discipleship resources, facilitate richer conversations about godly living, and potentially collaborate with other ministry leaders.

Thank you for joining us on this journey! We'd love to hear your thoughts – connect with us through our website, email, or our new social media. The name may be changing, but our commitment to biblical truth and equipping believers remains steadfast as ever.

The veil between ancient times and today's world falls away as we journey into episode 90 of the Woman 31 podcast, exploring the transformative role of women in the Greco-Roman world and early Christianity.

Have you ever wondered why Jesus speaking to a Samaritan woman at a well was so revolutionary? Historical context illuminates scripture in remarkable ways, revealing how radical the gospel message truly was. Through careful examination of the biblical text, we discover a fascinating shift beginning at Pentecost—where believers gathered "all in one accord"—that transformed rigid gender divisions into a new kingdom paradigm.

This historical understanding doesn't just satisfy curiosity—it provides profound application for today. Whether you're supporting ministries, praying faithfully, or serving in leadership, your contribution matters. The focus shifts from titles, status, and personal recognition to Christ-centered service that bears fruit. When we make our work about Jesus rather than ourselves, transformation follows.

Have you ever wondered why Jesus talking to the woman at the well was such a big deal? Or why Mary sitting at Jesus' feet caused such a stir? The cultural context changes everything.

In Episode 89 of the Woman 31 Podcast, we dive deep into the revolutionary ministry of Jesus toward women. Against a backdrop where women were segregated, likely illiterate, and forbidden from religious education, Christ's interactions with women weren't just kind—they were radical. When Mary sat at Jesus' feet to learn while Martha served, she broke cultural taboos. When a woman with an issue of blood touched His garment, she defied strict religious prohibitions. Yet Jesus welcomed, defended, and elevated these women.

We explore how understanding first-century Hellenistic and Jewish cultural norms transforms our reading of familiar Bible stories. From women funding Jesus' ministry to being the first witnesses of His resurrection, these weren't small moments—they were seismic shifts in how women were valued. For those living in cultures where gender separation still exists, or for anyone wondering about their worth in God's eyes, this historical context offers profound comfort.

The climate changed when Jesus entered on the scene. By examining His counter-cultural treatment of women, we gain a deeper appreciation for Scripture and a renewed understanding of how deeply Christ values each of us.
