I write about this in the book – where she goes on the run with him because she’s told that Herod is going to be trying to kill her son. I was struck by the story about Mary when Jesus was just a little baby. These are women – centuries ago – who were dealing with widowhood, infertility, running from famine, from danger, financial trouble, physical health (and) worries about their kids – all the things that women in 2022 are still experiencing.īut I’m really struck by a lot of the parallels with what’s happening in Ukraine because we see these courageous mothers bundling up their children, taking whatever have, leaving their lives behind and trying to get their children to safety. (With) so many of these stories that we look at centuries ago it doesn’t take too much work to see how they apply to our lives today. Do you see any parallels between what has happening in biblical times and what’s happening in our world today? JWK: The world seemed pretty messed up back then. They work together as a mother-daughter team to protect Moses who, obviously, goes on to be the one who leads the Israelites on their amazing exodus out of Egypt and to their freedom. So, Jochebed and Miriam both make these bold decisions. I became very encouraged through (studying) these relationships. So, we include the flawed and the less flawed – because we all have some (flaws). Some of these are really positive relationships (but) sometimes relationships are included in The Bible to show us an example of what not to do. God took them through some really difficult things. I think of Naomi and Ruth as a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who went through horrible tragedies together – how that bonded their relationship and (how) their faith was at the center of the relationship. We also have spiritual mothers and daughters – people who aren’t related by blood but come together and kind of this idea of chosen family. Some of them have mother-daughter (relationships) but we also (look at) mothers who have sons (and) women who are daughters and look at their different perspectives. Of course, they’re the focus – but we look for the special relationship lenses. Shannon Bream: We look at a lot of women in The Bible again. Tell me about The Mothers And Daughters Of The Bible Speak. JWK: I’d like to talk with you about some of the stuff you’ve been covering Fox News Night but, first, congratulations on the success of your previous book – and on the new book.
