this week’s episode of our Women of the Bible series, we turn our attention to Lydia—a remarkable figure whose story offers profound insights into humility, service, and stewardship. Join us as we delve into Lydia's life, exploring how a wealthy entrepreneur exemplified the true meaning of submission and hospitality within her community. Despite her financial success and influential status, Lydia placed her trust in Paul, her church leader, demonstrating that true greatness lies in humility and the willingness to serve others.

We'll discuss how Lydia's generosity and welcoming spirit created a nurturing environment for the early church in Philippi, emphasizing the vital role of hospitality in ministry. As we look at her life, we’ll consider a fresh perspective on her personal circumstances—asking whether she may have been single, widowed, or divorced—and how Paul recognized her unique gifts and contributions to the church. Lydia’s story reminds us that our past does not define our ability to serve; rather, it is our willingness to use our blessings for God's glory that truly matters.

Tune in for an inspiring conversation that highlights Lydia’s legacy and encourages us to reflect on our own lives. How do we use our resources and talents to uplift our communities? Are we willing to set aside our accomplishments for the sake of service? Join us as we learn from Lydia and challenge ourselves to embody the same spirit of humility and dedication in our own lives and churches. Whether you’re a business leader, a homemaker, or anywhere in between, Lydia’s story has something to teach us all about the power of selfless service and the impact of a heart devoted to God’s kingdom.
