Tabor: The day you overcome
At Mount Tabor, God told Deborah and Barak, “This is the day I will give you victory over your oppressors.” The same Lord gives us strength to overcome, too!

Rejected by church systems and their leaders. Yet profoundly affirmed by God. Here's my story of walking on the water to meet Jesus when he made the way.
"A woman with the gift of prophecy is not to speak what she hears from God," said the preacher. "But to take to it to her prayer closet.”
In 1 Corinthians 14:34-35, God silences women and Paul affirms it, right? What if God and Paul both snort at the idea – and we haven't known?
The greetings in Paul’s New Testament letters – the ones translators have altered and we often bypass – affirm women, as well as men, who minister as true servant leaders.

Mary Magdalene came to Jesus and took his yoke on her. Sticking her neck out that way, she found rest in serving the One who honored her.
Trusting the Spirit to speak, I explored the testimony of the entire New Testament. Scripture after Scripture showed a picture of the Body of Christ in which women participate fully and freely in every aspect of the kingdom, and men and women stand shoulder to shoulder, serving the Lord. I also learned why many people who love the Word do not know that – why I did not see it for so long.
