Episode 20 | Bilhah: The Patriarch's Property | Christian Family Values (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Episode 20 | Bilhah: The Patriarch's Property | Christian Family Values Bilhah is one of the mothers of the twelve tribes of Israel, yet the Bible gives her no dialogue, no interior life, and almost no story of her own. She enters Genesis as a servant given by Laban to Rachel, and from there her body, her children, and even her place within the family are determined by other people. In this episode of Auntie Sermons , we follow every biblical reference to Bilhah and look at what rabbinic traditi
Episode 19 | Zilpah the Saint | Jacob's Enslaved Wife (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Episode 19 | Zilpah the Saint | Jacob's Enslaved Wife Zilpah enters the biblical story as an enslaved woman who is given away before she is ever allowed to exist as a person. Called both a slave and a wife, she bears two sons who become tribes of Israel, yet her own life is almost completely forgotten. In this episode, we examine what Genesis actually says about Zilpah, why Jewish and Christian traditions rarely stop to consider her humanity, and what her story reveals about slavery, power, and

Read excerpt
Episode 18 | Rachel the Sacrificial Lamb | Rachel, Sacrifice, and Women's Suffering Rachel's name means "ewe," a young female sheep. Before she becomes Jacob's beloved wife, before she struggles with infertility, and before she dies giving birth, the symbolism of her name quietly frames the way her story will be told. In this episode, we follow Rachel from the well to her grave, exploring how both Jewish and Christian traditions remembered her, and what her story reveals about the cost women hav
Episode 17 | Leah the Less | When Beauty Becomes a Woman's Value (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Episode 17 | Leah the Less | Beauty, Worth, and the Burden of Being Useful Leah enters Genesis already measured against another woman. Before she speaks, before she chooses, and before anyone asks what she wants, the text compares her to Rachel. In this episode, we explore how Leah's story reveals a pattern women still face today: when beauty becomes the standard, those who don't fit it are expected to earn their worth by being useful. What you'll hear: - How Leah is introduced through compariso

Read excerpt
Bonus Extended Edition | The Woman God Didn’t Bother to Name | Cain’s Wife, Erasure, and the First Unnamed Woman in Genesis In this extended edition of The Woman God Didn’t Bother to Name, we return to Cain’s wife with new research, deeper historical context, and a closer examination of the woman the biblical text refuses to name. Rather than asking only where she came from, this episode asks who she was, what her life may have been like beside the first murderer, and what her erasure teaches re
