Jael and the tent peg

The Grove Church

This week, Charlie dives into the bold story of Jael, a woman who defied cultural norms to fulfill a God-given mission. By taking down Sisera with a tent peg, Jael showed incredible courage and revealed themes of divine timing and seizing opportunities. Charlie connects Jael’s actions to our lives today, sharing real-life stories about how God places people and circumstances perfectly in our paths, from a chance encounter that helped a man overcome addiction to the timely arrival of an electrician who saved the day at church.

We invite you to trust in your unique abilities and stay alert for God-orchestrated moments. With a look at the roles of Jael, Deborah, and Barak in Judges 4, this episode underscores the importance of courage, faith, and recognizing the roles God calls us to.
