| Renee of France Part 2 | 15 Mar 2022 | 00:27:24 | |
Renee of France (1510-1575): We continue today with the fascinating story of Renee of France, a member of the French royalty who risked her own comfort, reputation, and well-being to stand with the Huguenots (French Reformers) for the truth of God's Word and the message of salvation by faith in Jesus Christ. Her willingness to not only love "in word or tongue, but in deed and truth" made her a powerful encouragement and inspiration to the Reformers of her day, and a wonderful example for us to follow in this generation!
| |||
| Marguerite de Navarre | 22 Mar 2022 | 00:29:50 | |
Marguerite de Navarre (1492-1549): Without a doubt, the French Reformation would not have had the impact it did without the influence of Marguerite de Navarre and her daughter, Jeanne d’Albret! As the sister of King Francis I, Marguerite made an incredible impact for the furtherance of the Gospel and the Reformation movement in France by protecting Huguenot reformers, promoting their cause, and writing profound theological works. As a member of the French royalty, her willingness to align herself with the persecuted Protestants at the risk of her own reputation and position is nothing short of remarkable! Once you hear her story, we know you will love Marguerite as much as we do!
| |||
| Jeanne d’Albret, Part 1 | 29 Mar 2022 | 00:28:20 | |
Jeanne d’Albret (1528-1572): The apple doesn’t fall from the tree–at least in the case of Jeanne d’Albret! A reform-minded French royal like her mother, Marguerite de Navarre, Jeanne went a step further than her mom by boldly breaking with the Catholic Church and aligning herself fully with the Protestant cause. Placed in precarious political situations from the time she was young, Jeanne relied on her relationship with Jesus to give her the strength and conviction she needed to navigate the political corruption and spiritual complacency plaguing the French Court. And that’s just scratching the surface! So join us for Part One of her intriguing story!
| |||
| Jeanne d’Albret, Part 2 | 05 Apr 2022 | 00:29:11 | |
Jeanne d’Albret (1528-1572): We are back for Part Two of the captivating story of Jeanne d’Albret, the French princess who took a stand against the political and spiritual corruption of the French aristocracy for the cause of Christ. Not only did Jeanne bring radical reform and religious tolerance to her kingdoms, but she became the backbone of the Huguenot movement. What’s more, her godly influence on her son led him to eventually issue the Edict of Nantes, a revolutionary document that brought religious freedom to France. It is hard to imagine what course the nation of France might have taken in the 16th and 17th centuries without the dynamic spiritual influence of this woman worth knowing!
| |||
| Vittoria Colonna & Olympia Morata | 12 Apr 2022 | 00:31:42 | |
Vittoria Colonna (c.1492-1547) & Olimpia Morata (c.1526-1555): One of the most unlikely homes of Reformation thought and teaching was the Catholic stronghold of Italy–and two of the most unlikely figures of the Italian Reformation were female authors Vittoria Colonna and Olimpia Morata! These women bravely defended the biblical principles of justification by faith and the authority of Scripture at the risk of censure and, particularly in Morata’s case, of their own personal well-being. You will definitely want to hear the stories of these brilliant writers and witnesses for Christ!
| |||
| Argula von Grumbach & Marie Dentiere | 19 Apr 2022 | 00:32:05 | |
Argula von Grumbach (1492-c.1557) & Marie Dentiere (1495-1561): The early years of the Protestant Reformation created unprecedented opportunities for women, particularly in terms of writing. Two standout examples of this phenomenon are the fearless and outspoken authors, Argula von Grumbach and Marie Dentiere. Confident of their biblical standing as Christian women in ministry, Argula and Marie tackled highly controversial issues of their day, regardless of pushback from religious leaders. Although censured and suppressed in their lifetime, they have since been recognized as profound theological writers and key Reformation figures. They are without a doubt women worth knowing!
| |||
| Margaret Wilson & Margaret McLachlan, Part 1 | 26 Apr 2022 | 28:18:00 | |
Margaret Wilson (1667-1685) & Margaret McLachlan (d.1685): We continue our look at women of the Reformation period with the story of the Wigtown Martyrs, two remarkable Scottish women of faith. BUT before we launch into their story, we felt it was important to explore the background of the Reformation in Scotland, so we can understand just what these women were up against! It’s pretty fascinating stuff–you won’t want to miss it!
| |||
| Margaret Wilson & Margaret McLachlan, Part 2 | 03 May 2022 | 00:28:02 | |
Margaret Wilson (1667-1685) & Margaret McLachlan (d.1685): Having set the stage, we now get to tell the story of the Wigtown Martyrs of Scotland! Margaret Wilson was a grandmother in her sixties, while Margaret McLachlan was just a girl of eighteen; yet because of their faith in Jesus Christ and dependence on His Word instead of religious and political authorities, these two brave women were arrested and executed for their faith. Their willingness to lay down their lives for Jesus made them radiant and inspiring witnesses...and most certainly women worth knowing!
| |||
| Anne Boleyn, Part 1 | 10 May 2022 | 00:29:51 | |
Anne Boleyn (c. 1501-1536): Anne Boleyn may be one of the most well-known and controversial figures in English history! Yet the fact remains that she was one of the primary catalysts for King Henry VIII’s Act of Supremacy, which inadvertently initiated the Protestant Reformation in England. Though not always recognized or appreciated, as Queen of England Anne took a brave stand for the Word of God and church reform in a volatile political and religious climate. She was more than just an enigmatic figure in English history–she is definitely a woman worth knowing!

For over sixty years she ministered in the Mountains of Death in India, fording wild rivers, enduring snake bites, dealing with malaria, enduring untold hardships, setting up medical clinics, building schools, sharing the gospel, and raising up Christian leaders. She was an unstoppable force for God!

| Katherine Parr, Part 1 | 24 May 2022 | 00:30:54 | |
Katherine Parr (1512-1548): As many people know, King Henry VIII was one of England’s most notorious kings, partly because he was married six times! Yet what is not commonly known is the fact that his sixth wife, Katherine, was a devout Protestant who believed God had called her to marry Henry for the furtherance of God’s Word and the Reformation cause in England. So join us today for the fascinating story of God’s work through one of the Tudor Queens of England!
| |||
| Katherine Parr, Part 2 | 31 May 2022 | 00:33:17 | |
Katherine Parr (1512-1548): Today we finish the story of Katherine Parr, Queen of England and sixth wife of Henry VIII.

We wrap up this episode with the rest of Lois Landis’s wonderful story as told by one of our listeners, so be sure to join us!
| |||
| Anne Askew, Part 1 | 07 Jun 2022 | 00:30:56 | |
Anne Askew (1521-1546): That’s right, it’s time for another woman from Tudor England! Today we discuss the life of Anne Askew, a bold, outspoken woman of the English nobility whose stand on the Scriptures and support for the Reformation put her in hot water with the “powers that be.” But before we get into her story, we start out with some “worthy mentions,” lesser known English women connected to Anne who also supported the Reformation. You’ll be amazed at the diverse women who the Lord used at this critical point in English history!
| |||
| Anne Askew, Part 2 | 14 Jun 2022 | 00:28:38 | |
Anne Askew (1521-1546): Join us today as we continue with the story of Anne Askew, the fearless English noblewoman who was willing to endure persecution for the sake of the supremacy of God’s Word and the Reformation cause. Though tortured and martyred for her beliefs, Anne’s radiant testimony has lived on to inspire believers for generations.
| |||
| Lady Jane Grey, Part 1 | 21 Jun 2022 | 00:30:56 | |
Lady Jane Grey (1537-1554): One of the most tragic figures in English history is Lady Jane Grey, the “Nine Day Queen of England” whose lineage and outspoken Protestant faith put her in the crosshairs of political intrigue around the throne. Today we will talk about Lady Jane’s early life and how her faith in Jesus carried her through a turbulent and difficult childhood. We know you will find this brave young girl as fascinating as we do!
| |||
| Lady Jane Grey, Part 2 | 28 Jun 2022 | 00:31:09 | |
Lady Jane Grey (1537-1554): We continue today with the poignant story of England’s “Nine Day Queen,” Lady Jane Grey. Although used as a political pawn by unscrupulous members of the aristocracy (including her own parents!), Jane maintained her ardent, radiant faith in Christ to the very end of her life, serving as an inspiration to the Protestant cause in England. We close this episode with another story sent in by one of our listeners, the incredible testimony of missionary Phyllis Sortor. You won’t want to miss it!
| |||
| Elizabeth Bunyan & Sarah Edwards | 05 Jul 2022 | 00:34:52 | |
Elizabeth Bunyan (c.1641-1691) & Sarah Edwards (1710-1758): John Bunyan and Jonathan Edwards are two of the most famous and important figures in Church History–one as the author of Pilgrim’s Progress, and the other as America’s first and arguably greatest philosopher and theologian. Yet as with many Christian leaders, they would not have been as influential as they were without their wives! Elizabeth Bunyan’s commitment to the cause of Christ enabled her husband to fulfill his ministry despite frequent imprisonment, and Sarah Edwards’ hospitality and deep spirituality made a profound impact on both her husband and community. When you hear their stories you will agree that these are certainly women worth knowing!
| |||
| Sarah Edwards, Part 2 | 12 Jul 2022 | 00:30:27 | |
Sarah Edwards (1710-1758): Join us today as we continue the story of Sarah Edwards, wife of the great theologian Jonathan Edwards. As the Great Awakening swept through the American Colonies, Jonathan and Sarah found themselves right in the middle of this great move of God’s Spirit. Later, they took a remarkable step of faith to minister to Native Americans on the frontier. Through it all, Sarah’s spirituality and hospitality enhanced the effectiveness of her husband’s ministry, and her parenting made an indelible impact not only on her eleven children, but on American history! Her legacy alone makes Sarah a remarkable woman worth knowing!
| |||
| Anne Bradstreet | 19 Jul 2022 | 00:31:38 | |
Anne Bradstreet (1612-1672): H.L. Mencken once said that Puritanism is “the haunting fear that someone, somewhere might be happy.” But is this characterization of the Puritans as stern and joyless really true? Anne Bradstreet’s life would indicate otherwise! As a member of the English Puritans who settled the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 1630s, Anne gained notoriety as America’s first poet–an incredible accomplishment for a wife and mother of eight in the American wilderness! Yet she also gives us a window into Puritan colonial life–its joys, sorrows, trials and blessings–all undergirded by a radiant, confident faith in God and His Word. Truly, her poetry is a celebration of God’s goodness in every area of life! The Puritans were anything but dull and dour, as Anne Bradstreet’s life so beautifully demonstrates! | |||
| Susanna Wesley | 26 Jul 2022 | 00:33:12 | |
Susanna Wesley (1669-1742): Few people make a name for themselves because of their parenting, yet today we will be talking about a woman who is best known as the “Mother of Methodism:” Susanna Wesley, the mother of the great 18th century evangelists, John and Charles Wesley. A brilliant and godly woman, this mother of sixteen left a powerful legacy through her child-rearing, educational methods, and (most importantly) her deep spirituality. It is easy to recognize that her influence on the lives of her sons, John and Charles, laid the groundwork for the great Methodist Revival that rocked Great Britain and the American Colonies. Susanna Wesley is certainly a testament to the profound influence of motherhood!

| Lady Selina Hastings, Part 1 | 02 Aug 2022 | 00:27:09 | |
Lady Selina Hastings (1707-1791): The great 18th century Methodist Revival brought vast numbers to Christ and produced many remarkable, godly leaders. One of the most significant of these was Lady Selina Hastings, the Countess of Huntingdon and the “Patroness of Methodism.” A member of the English aristocracy and descendant of royalty, Selina was also a devout member of the Anglican Church. However, when she recognized her need for a relationship with Jesus beyond mere religious formality, her life was transformed! She found like-minded fellowship in the fledgling Methodist movement with the Wesley brothers and George Whitefield, and teamed up with them to bring the Gospel throughout the British Isles, American Colonies and beyond. Because of her wide social and political influence, financial support, and unique ability to foster Christian unity, Selina made an incalculable impact on her nation and the world for the cause of Christ!
| |||
| Lady Selina Hastings, Part 2 | 09 Aug 2022 | 00:28:39 | |
Lady Selina Hastings (1707-1791): We finish today with the powerful testimony of Selina, Countess of Huntingdon, a woman who was instrumental in furthering the Gospel through the Methodist movement in the 18th century. In fact, it is safe to say that Selina was the glue that held the movement together and enabled it to propagate throughout Britain and beyond! Her love for Jesus and surrender to His will for her life is at once convicting and inspiring! We close our episode with a testimony from one of our listeners in Australia, C.J. Manan, who shared with us about the life and ministry of her sister, Gail. It’s a lovely story of God’s faithfulness and we know you will be blessed to hear it!

Maude Cary was a brilliant linguist and gifted Bible teacher who served tirelessly among the people of Morocco.

The Lord used this quiet, humble woman to revive the Chinese church and lead many to Christ, simply because she “knew her own littleness” and the greatness of Jesus! It is therefore not surprising that the Shantung Revival that she helped usher in bore solid and lasting fruit for the kingdom of God. You will be so blessed by the testimony and legacy of this lovely, radiant servant of the Lord!

Known throughout the world as the “Queen of Gospel” and a Civil Rights figure, singer Mahalia Jackson used her powerful, dynamic voice to blaze a trail in the gospel music genre as well as build bridges between white and black people in the midst of profound racial tensions in the 1960s. Yet perhaps the most remarkable thing about Mahalia is that she did all of this without compromising her conviction to sing only Christian music for the glory of God instead of taking the more lucrative route of “going mainstream.” Because Mahalia chose to honor God, He honored her with a beautiful witness and powerful influence. She is without a doubt a woman worth knowing!
