Shiphrah and Puah

This week Amy Milligan continues our summer series ‘Visible Women’ and looks at two women called Shiphrah and Puah found in Exodus 1. Please note that this talk contains a sensitive topic. These women prevented mass murder of children – a whole generation. As midwives they were asked to by the new king to remove the threat of a perceived uprising of the Israelites. But they stood their ground, they disobeyed and defied the king and followed their conviction in God – they feared God more than man. Amy challenges us to activate our faith and face the difficulties and disappointments of life by leaning into God.
