S3E18 - A Woman Of Purpose & Provision

September 01, 2025

Season 3 Episode 18


Topic: A Woman Of Purpose & Provision


In this episode, we’ll explore the story of Lydia, a successful businesswoman whose heart was opened by God and whose home became a launching point for the early church in Philippi. As a dealer in purple cloth, Lydia was both influential and resourceful, but it was her hospitality, generosity, and spiritual hunger that truly set her apart. We’ll discuss how her leadership, faith, and willingness to create space for God’s work reflect the heart of the Proverbs 31 woman, highlighting themes of using your resources for the Kingdom, listening when God speaks, and living with a posture of openness to both people and purpose.


Scriptures: Acts 16:13–15, Acts 16:40
