    Job: A Perfect Man is Made to Suffer I Handmaidens, Harems, Heroines I Lynne Wilson

    Lynne's Handouts: https://scripturecentral.org/archive/books/book-chapter/job-1?searchId=a8dd520af9cccb105ecead9705857c1e2d90a7fcec95388137b247b4cc8521c8-en-v=fadf3b9 In this episode of Handmaidens, Harems & Heroines, Dr. Lynne Hilton Wilson explores the often-overlooked women of the book of Job, revealing powerful lessons about family, faith, loss, and God's abundant blessings. While the book is best known for Job's unwavering faith through immense suffering, Lynne highlights the important role of Job's daughters and what their story teaches about women's value in the Old Testament. Before Job's trials, his three daughters regularly joined their seven brothers in joyful family feasts, demonstrating a close-knit family where the daughters were fully included in family life. Their happiness was tragically cut short when a great wind destroyed the eldest brother's house, claiming the lives of all ten children in one heartbreaking moment. Lynne discusses how this devastating loss deepens our understanding of Job's grief and steadfast trust in God despite unimaginable sorrow. The episode also focuses on Job's remarkable restoration. After the Lord blessed Job once again, he became the father of three daughters—Jemima, Kezia, and Keren-happuch—whose beauty was renowned throughout the land. More significantly, Job granted his daughters an inheritance alongside their brothers, a rare and extraordinary act in the ancient biblical world. Lynne examines how this unusual decision reflects Job's righteousness, integrity, and generosity, while illustrating the abundant blessings God poured out upon him in the latter part of his life. Join Dr. Lynne Hilton Wilson as she uncovers the rich historical, cultural, and spiritual insights surrounding the women of Job. Discover how these faithful daughters illuminate themes of covenant family, equality before God, hope after tragedy, and the Lord's power to heal, restore, and bless those who remain faithful through life's greatest trials.

    "Stand Forever" Ep. 26 | The Truth—Endure to the End Part II | Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge

    When someone leaves the Church, especially when many leave, people wonder, “What do they know that I don’t?”  A better question to ask is “What do I know that they don’t?”  Some claim Church culture is driving people away, that members feel unseen, disconnected, empty, unheard, unnourished, and unfulfilled by their involvement, and the solution they say is a transformation to a more open, inclusive, transparent, loving, and tolerant culture wherein more people can comfortably gather. The ultimate question is not: “Do I fit in, feel loved, accepted, and comfortable?” The ultimate question is: “Is the Church true?” None of this is to say we should stand idly by as people walk out the door with broken and lonely hearts thinking, “there is no place for me here.” But belief trumps doubt.   If you view the church from the institutional perspective, then the arguments for leaving make sense. If you view it from the kingdom of God perspective, they fall apart.   From the institutional point of view, reason would suggest leaving or stepping back if, as an institution, it does not meet your criteria, your expectations, and your judgment of what the Church should be.  But if you see the Church as the kingdom of God on earth with sole authority to administer the ordinances of salvation to God’s children on both sides of the veil, endow them with power to engage in His work and thereby bring them back to Him, then you will stay come what may.

    ESTHER: Faith, Leadership & Trust in God I Handmaidens, Harems, Heroines I Lynne Wilson

    Lynne's Handouts: https://scripturecentral.org/archive/books/book-chapter/esther-1?searchId=0eb3e36bfb24dcd9bb1d1bece1531216b59539a8fde17ee80224af0653c92aa3-en-v=fadf3b9 The book of Esther is one of the most inspiring stories of courage, faith, and divine providence in the Old Testament. In this episode of Handmaidens, Harems & Heroines, Dr. Lynne Hilton Wilson explores the remarkable life of Esther, a young Jewish woman who rose from obscurity to become queen of the Persian Empire. Set within a culture where women were often treated as political possessions and valued primarily for their beauty, Esther's story reveals extraordinary strength, wisdom, and conviction. Lynne examines how Esther refused to let her identity be defined as merely a trophy wife and instead embraced her divine calling to protect her people. This episode also explores the difficult realities faced by women in the ancient Persian court, including the expectations placed upon queens and concubines, and contrasts Esther's faithful courage with the actions of Queen Vashti. Together, their stories shed light on the limited agency women often possessed while highlighting the remarkable ways faithful women exercised influence despite those constraints. A central focus of the discussion is Esther's invitation for the Jewish people to fast with her for three days before she risked her life by approaching the king uninvited. Lynne explains the spiritual significance of this collective fast and how Esther's unwavering faith in God gave her the courage to declare, "If I perish, I perish." Her willingness to sacrifice everything for her covenant people stands as one of scripture's greatest examples of faith, leadership, and trusting in God's unseen hand. Join Dr. Lynne Hilton Wilson as she uncovers the historical background, cultural context, and powerful gospel lessons found in the book of Esther, revealing why this courageous queen continues to inspire believers to stand for truth, defend God's people, and exercise faith in moments when the future seems uncertain.

    "Stand Forever" Ep. 25 | The Truth—Enduring to the End, Part I | Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge

    Enduring to the end is about getting to the end.  It is about finishing.   It is not gritting your teeth, gutting it out, biting the bullet, looking forward to a brighter, happier day, and it’s not just not smoking until you die.  It is to do whatever is necessary to receive and follow the Holy Ghost, building up the kingdom of God as an active, contributing member of the Church of Jesus Christ beginning in your home, making a difference and never, ever, ever quit.   Enduring to the end is to stay the course and finish.  It is dogged faithfulness.   Yesterday’s accomplishments, good deeds and triumphs should be remembered and cherished, but they are in the past.  Yesterday’s mistakes should be remembered long enough to not repeat them, but they are in the past.  Some people mistakenly live there, in the past either reliving, rethinking mistakes or coasting on past successes or labors.   What you did in the past, good or bad is not nearly as important as what you do today.

    Ezra and Nehemiah I Persians Free Israel from Babylon I Handmaidens, Harems, Heroines I Lynne Wilson

    Lynne's Handouts can be found here:https://scripturecentral.org/archive/books/book-chapter/ezra-and-nehemiah?searchId=0eb3e36bfb24dcd9bb1d1bece1531216b59539a8fde17ee80224af0653c92aa3-en-v=fadf3b9 What can we learn about the faithful women who helped preserve covenant identity during one of Israel's most important periods of restoration? In this episode of Handmaidens, Harems, and Heroines, Bible scholar Lynne Hilton Wilson explores the Old Testament books of Ezra and Nehemiah, focusing on the often-overlooked women who lived during the return from Babylonian exile and the rebuilding of Jerusalem. Although these books primarily highlight the leadership of Ezra and Nehemiah, careful readers will discover women whose faith, family influence, and covenant commitment played a vital role in the restoration of God's people. Join us as we examine the lists of returning families, the significance of women in preserving Israel's lineage and religious identity, the challenges faced by wives and mothers during a time of social and spiritual reform, and the covenant renewal that united the community. Lynne also discusses the difficult passages concerning intermarriage, the status of women in post-exilic Judah, and what these stories reveal about faithfulness, sacrifice, and covenant belonging.

    ”Stand Forever” Ep. 24 | The Truth—The Gift of the Holy Ghost | Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge

    Nothing is as all-encompassing and all-inclusive as the gift of the Holy Ghost. The Comforter is the truth of all things, quickens all things, makes alive all things, knows all things, and has all power. Christ began and concluded His mortal ministry teaching about the gift of the Holy Ghost. Ask almost anyone what they most want in life and love, joy and peace in some combination will surface in the discussion. Paul taught the “fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace….” He also said, “Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.” The best of all human conditions in this life is to be endowed with heavenly power, to be born again, to have the gift and companionship of the Holy Ghost. Nothing is worth the loss of the spirit. This world is too difficult to traverse alone.
