While Elizabeth's life challenges us to care for others, Lydia shows us how to influence and lead. Other women like Herodias and Sapphira warn us against turning away from God toward bitterness and dishonesty. In meeting each of these women, we will grow deeper in our understanding of what it means to be a disciple.
