HagarThe powerful story of Hagar in the Bible underscores how messy and complex God’s work in history really is. As people of faith, we believe that God answers prayer and keeps his promises, but this story will shake us out of simplistic notions of God’s call, God’s promises, and God’s faithfulness. Hagar is not just a supporting character in the story of Abraham and Sarah. She is not just the mother of Ishmael. Looking at Genesis 16 and 21 through Hagar’s eyes reveals that her story is Israel’s story. And it has a lot to teach us about how God shows up in our own stories.

Hagar: The Woman Who Named GodThis Bible study on Genesis 16 and 21 shows Hagar is more than a supporting player in Abraham and Sarah's story. Her story is Israel's story.

JuniaIn one short verse at the end of Romans (Romans 16:7), we are introduced to Junia, a first-century apostle who has been systematically erased from our view for centuries. From Junia’s story in the Bible, we learn about God’s intention for ministry partnership between women and men, about suffering for the sake of the gospel, and about how women have always been faithful leaders in the fulfillment of God’s mission.
