There’s a special reason why God declared His creative works complete after women were created. It’s because He “saw that it was very good” (Genesis 1:31).
Women throughout history have held incredible influence throughout time. But I would argue the important role Christian women play in the Bible, and today before the coming of the Savior, is unmatched.
From the Old Testament to the New, we see examples of strong and courageous women in the scriptures who use their God-given gifts to make a difference for those around them.
Let’s discuss these powerful women and the impact they had in their communities and in God’s plan for salvation.
You may use this resource as a free Bible study (for yourself personally or with your small group) by reading the Bible verses and answering the discussion questions aloud or in your journal.

Episode 02: What is the purpose of a woman?
Barbara Smith's heartfelt talk, "Roots and Wings," beautifully underscores the profound purpose of women as co-creators with their Heavenly Father.
In her words, she reminds us of the extraordinary role women play within the family, a space where the purest form of Christlike love can flourish. She highlights the essential duty of showering children with love, making it clear that this responsibility is shared by both mothers and fathers.
Parenthood, she suggests, is a life-altering journey that offers profound self-discovery and prepares us for the eternal future. Her words encourage us to embrace the challenges of being wives and mothers with wisdom and care.
Above all, Smith underscores the sacredness of motherhood, calling on women to fulfill this divine calling with deep reverence and unwavering commitment. As we navigate the different stages of life, remember to have faith in God and in yourselves, as these are your roots and wings that will lift you above life's daily trials, ensuring a life filled with joy and eternal purpose.
