Women Who Stood When History Trembled

Women Who Stood When History Trembled

Not as distant figures, but as mirrors of courage, endurance, and covenant faith that still speaks today.

THE ROLE OF THIS PILLAR IN THE BUYER’S JOURNEY

Stage: Consideration
Emotional Shift: “Their story sounds like my story.”
Spiritual Shift: From abstract faith → embodied faith
Strategic Goal: Help readers recognize themselves in covenant women

Pillar 1 calmed fear.
Pillar 2 creates identification.

This is where readers stop observing Scripture from a distance and begin entering it.

CORE STRATEGY BEHIND PILLAR 2

Most believers know these women as:

• Bible characters

• Children’s stories

• Flannelgraph figures

• Supporting roles in men’s narratives

This pillar reframes them as:

• Women navigating instability

• Women making decisions under pressure

• Women whose faith shaped outcomes they could not fully see

The key message:

They were not extraordinary because times were easy.
They were faithful because times were hard.

That resonates deeply with baby boomers who have:

• Lived through cultural upheaval

• Carried faith quietly for decades

• Endured without applause

THE REQUIRED OPENING THOUGHT

(To appear at the beginning of every post)

Don’t tell God how big your problems are.
Tell your problems how big your God is.

In Pillar 2, this line functions as:

• A bridge between ancient story and present reality

• A declaration these women lived by—even without saying it aloud

WHY THIS PILLAR CREATES DESIRE (WITHOUT PRESSURE)

By the end of Pillar 2, readers are no longer asking:

• “What does prophecy mean?”

They are asking:

• “What does faithful living look like for someone like me?”

That question naturally opens the door to:

• Deeper study

• Personal reflection

• Ownership of the Women of the Covenant resource

Not because they were sold—but because they were seen.

How does this prepare for Pillar 3

• Pillar 1 stabilized the heart

• Pillar 2 awakened recognition

• Pillar 3 will answer the unspoken question:
  “If I belong to this covenant story… what does that mean for my identity and calling now?”
