Summary: We continue through our Broken Saviors series, we’re looking at a story that has a very personal significance to me. I’ve got three daughters—aged 11, 9, and 7. (My wife and I snuck a little boy in there at the end, but it’s still a house full of women.) So as we hear about Deborah—the first and only female judge—it speaks to what I hope for my daughters, what I dream for them, and what I pray over them. The church needs more Deborahs, strong godly women to step up and use the gifts God has given them. We need Deborahs in the home, speaking courage into their family’s lives. We need Deborahs in ministry, calling us to give and pray and go and sacrifice. We need Deborahs in society, women who lead with wisdom, courage, and faith. But this message isn’t just about women. It’s a call to every one of us, to lead with courage and to get off the couch of cowardice. Because none of us is sufficient to lead in our own power. But all of us rest in the power of a sufficient God.
