Shady Ladies with Fearless Faith: Why Your Past Doesn't Disqualify You: #MomsoftheBible Chapter 1

Have you ever whispered to yourself at night, "I'll be a better mom tomorrow"—but tomorrow never comes?

Maybe you're carrying guilt from your past. Decisions you regret. Sins you're ashamed of. Things you wish you could go back and undo.

And you wonder: Can God really use someone like me?

In this powerful episode of Old Ladies Know Stuff, Rhonda Stoppe introduces Chapter 1 of her new book Moms of the Bible: Life-Changing Lessons from the Fearless, Flawed and Faithful by unpacking the incredible story of Rahab the prostitute—a woman with the shadiest past imaginable who became part of Jesus' family line.

In this episode, you'll discover:

✨ Why Rahab is called "the harlot" throughout Scripture—and what that means for moms who feel defined by their past

✨ How a prostitute became a hero of the faith mentioned in Hebrews 11 and the lineage of King David and Jesus

✨ The woman at the well's story—why Jesus went out of His way to meet her in her shame and how He turned her into the first evangelist

✨ What "though your sins are as scarlet, He will wash them white as snow" actually means for your motherhood today

✨ Why Satan wants you to stay stuck in shame—and how to break free from regrets that hold you back

✨ How God uses "shady ladies" to raise world-changers—proving that your past doesn't disqualify you from faithful motherhood

This episode is for you if:

• You're carrying shame from past sins and wonder if God can still use you
• You've made decisions you deeply regret and feel disqualified from being a "good mom"
• You're struggling with the lie that you're not worthy of God's calling
• You need to know that redemption is real—and available to YOU today

Rhonda vulnerably shares why she would have been the woman at the well without Jesus, and how studying these biblical "shady ladies" gave her hope that no matter what your past looks like, God's grace is bigger.

Here's the truth: Romans 5:8 says God showed His love for us while we were still sinners. You don't have to clean yourself up first. Jesus meets you in your mess and washes you clean.

Your past doesn't define you. Your Savior does.

Listen now and discover the fearless faith that cleanses all sin and shame.
