Hey Dweller,
March is Women’s History Month, a time to celebrate the strength, wisdom, and impact of women throughout history. As we reflect on this, let’s turn to the women of the Bible—women who shaped faith, community, and even the atmosphere of their homes.
Their stories remind us that a home is not just a physical space—it is a reflection of the heart. A place where faith is nurtured, hospitality is extended, and God’s presence dwells.
Deborah: A Home of Strength & Discernment
Deborah was a prophetess and judge over Israel (Judges 4-5), a woman who led with boldness and wisdom. She sat beneath the palm tree, offering guidance to God’s people, making her leadership a beacon of strength. Like Deborah, we can cultivate a home where wisdom flows freely and where God’s voice is sought in every decision.
How to Reflect Deborah’s Strength in Your Home:
🕯️ Create a prayer space where you can seek God’s wisdom daily. A simple corner with a candle, a Bible, and a journal can become a sacred space for discernment.
🕊️ Incorporate symbols of peace—soft neutral tones, nature-inspired decor, and elements that invite a sense of calm and trust in God’s plan.
Lydia: A Home of Hospitality & Generosity
Lydia, a successful businesswoman and worshiper of God, was the first recorded convert in Europe. When she met Paul, she immediately opened her home to him and his ministry (Acts 16:14-15). Lydia reminds us that hospitality is not just about entertaining—it’s about opening our doors and our hearts in service to others.
How to Reflect Lydia’s Hospitality in Your Home:
🏡 Design a welcoming entryway—a space that feels inviting the moment someone steps inside. A cozy rug, a basket of blankets, or even a verse by the door can make a difference.
🍽️ Set the table with intention—whether it’s for family meals or gathering with friends, use your dining space as a place for connection and love.
Priscilla: A Home of Teaching & Discipleship
Priscilla, alongside her husband Aquila, used her home as a space for teaching and discipleship (Acts 18:26). She played a key role in the early church, showing us that our homes can be places where faith is nurtured and shared.
How to Reflect Priscilla’s Spirit in Your Home:
📖 Use scripture-inspired decor—wall art, framed verses, or handwritten prayers displayed throughout your home can be powerful reminders of God’s Word.
🕊️ Create a gathering space—a cozy nook for Bible study, coffee conversations, or family devotionals can make faith a daily practice in your home.
Carrying Their Legacy into Our Homes
These women of faith remind us that our homes are not just places to live—they are places to minister, to lead, and to welcome others in Christ’s love. Whether through prayer, hospitality, or teaching, we can continue their legacy in our own unique way.
May your home be a place of strength like Deborah’s, a haven of hospitality like Lydia’s, and a space of faith-filled teaching like Priscilla’s.
With love,
-Gold
