The Bible is full of strong women who can be incredible role models for our daughters. Not long ago, we shared 5 women in the Old Testament with testimonies of faithfulness, wisdom, and strength. But the New Testament has its fair share of women to admire. Many of these women were loved by Jesus during […]
