Unnamed Heroines
278 | “To Quote Bob Marley”
Value Every Role in God's Kingdom
What if the most important person in your favorite Bible story didn't even have a name? We’re wrapping up our regional deep dives by celebrating the "Nameless Notables" — the background actors and extras who ended up stealing the show. From a little girl pointing a powerful general toward healing to wise women saving entire cities just by speaking up, we’re seeing how small acts of faith create massive domino effects. We even dive into the "Hot Seat" to ask why Jesus used the word "dog" with a Canaanite mother and what really happened with Jephthah’s daughter. Grab your bracket and let’s remember that in God’s story, there really are no small parts!
Takeaways
The Big Idea: In God’s kingdom, there are no insignificant roles, as even anonymous acts of faith can trigger a life-changing domino effect.
This Week's Challenge: Look for an opportunity this week to speak up or step into the gap like the nameless heroes of Scripture.

Nameless Notables Intro
Ryan: Jesus' response to her is don't cry. No woman, no cry. To quote Bob Marley.
Bryan: Did not expect
Ryan: Maybe
Bryan: to show up in this episode.
Ryan: a weird place to pull that in.
Bryan: Well, hello everyone and welcome to the Bible Geeks podcast. I'm Bryan Schiele.
Ryan: Ryan Joy.
Bryan: And today on the episode, we're going to talk about some of the most important people in the Bible who don't even have names recorded. There's a servant girl who points Naaman to healing. There's a woman who drops a millstone and ends a tyrant's life.
And there's some other people who speak wisdom that save entire cities. All
Ryan: So today we're celebrating the nameless notables. They're figures we only catch in passing, but their faithfulness creates a domino effect in God's story. It's a lesson we all need to remember. In God's story, there are no insignificant roles.
No Small Parts
Bryan: Well, we've made it, Ryan. We're at the end of our list of regionals that we're working our way through in our Bible bracket this year. And this one actually was my favorite of the four. Well, I love the idea that there are so many people in the Bible that just don't have names. And to kind of collect them all up in that way, each of them kind of brings something special and unique to the table that we should probably spend some more time talking about.
But I just love the idea that, yeah, we don't know even the names of these people at all in the Bible. So this was a cool one for sure.
Ryan: It was. There's an old Hollywood saying, they say, "there's no small parts, only small actors." Have you ever heard
Bryan: Yeah, I have. Yeah.
Ryan: So, you know, like whenever they started to think that way, then all of the, the movies and theater performances and stuff got better because you start to realize if you take seriously your part in the story, then the whole thing gets better because each part is important.
And, you know, the Bible has all of these different players that we don't know their names. Kind of like, kind of like the background actors, the extras that we don't see their, their credits listed, but they're important. They're a part of this. And some of them are incredibly significant, even if they only get one verse or two verses.
Bryan: And, you know, we'll talk about it in more detail, but I think this is the reason why the Bible can be so relatable, right? Because sometimes I have a hard time putting myself into the shoes of some really big figure of faith. But it is kind of easy to see myself in the same line of some of these people.
Hello, My Name Is ...
Bryan: And so let's get into our first segment here, which I think appropriately is, " Hello, my name is..." So we're going to tell the story of a woman whose name is...
Well, actually, we don't know their name. So, the young Hebrew maid. Let's talk about her from 2 Kings 5. And we went back and forth, I think, in our draft about what we should actually call her because I think I called her the little Hebrew maid.
And, you know, we kind of changed her name, I think, to the young Hebrew maid in this story.
Ryan: Yeah, she is a little girl, right, when she was taken. And so I think that's probably where that came from. But the, the, the setup for this story is, of course, Naaman, many of us know his story from Second Kings 5, is this powerful general who has leprosy from Syria. But when we get into his story, immediately it shifts over to just a couple of verses about this young lady.
Bryan: Yeah. So let's read these verses. This is 2 Kings 5, verses 2 and 3. It says, "Now the Syrians on one of their raids had carried off a little girl from the land of Israel, and she worked in the service of Naaman's wife. She said to her mistress, 'Would that my Lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria. He would cure him of his leprosy.'"
So, like, just a little comment here that she makes to her mistress, Naaman's wife. Just, you know, boy, I wish Naaman were with the prophet in Samaria because it would solve all the problems, right? Just a little offhanded comment. And from that little statement, what do you see as, like, the power behind her words there?
Ryan: Well, she, I mean, think about her situation. This little girl is taken from her home like the spoils of war and forced into slavery. And so, like, her life has illustrated her lack of power. But she still dares to speak. She goes out of her way to help the very people who stole her from her family, or at least to wish that, that there would be good to come upon her.
And she has this incredible faith. She just, just assumes, just believes it is absolutely true that a prophet in Samaria could have helped Naaman. And so, yeah, there's, there's an incredible power here to these, you know, almost like this domino effect that starts. The story doesn't begin without her speaking up,
Bryan: Yeah. Well, and if I put myself into her shoes, which is so easy to do in a thought process like this, like, what would it - if I imagine myself as a captor, what would my reaction be? What would I think to say? And I would probably be very bitter that I was in that circumstance, and I'm not sure I would entirely want the well-being of my
So yeah, like you say, the domino begins to fall and boy, then all of a sudden, all this stuff sets in motion.
Naaman's healing and, you know, the prophet of God being held up in esteem as he points the nation back to God.
Domino Effect Evangelism
Ryan: And it, it's impossible not to get to an application about good news and about speaking up, right? I mean, I don't know, there's a lot of different ways you can go with this, but what do you take from this about sharing good news?
Bryan: My first word that I thought of was "Ewengelion." Like, I'm just thinking about, you know, evangelism here. She is - she's the ultimate evangelist, right? And, you know, like we see so many times in the New Testament, "Come and see," you know, the woman at the well, Nathan, like all these people, like, "Hey, just come and see."
And the story that we just lean into about people doing something so small and not really requiring some great oration or some compelling argument, it is such a - can be such a simple retelling of your own experience or your, you know, your values, what you find important, and sharing that with somebody can really change the game.
So yeah, this - she's a great - a little evangelist here.
Ryan: There you are with the little
Bryan: I know.
Yeah.
Ryan: But she is. And she, and it's a little piece of the story. Just these two verses. She, she isn't named, but she also isn't even mentioned for most of this story. I mean, if you, if you charted it out into like a, I don't know, like a line graph, it would be just a tiny bit of the whole story of this.
But in a way, she's the most important part of it because she got things going. And it just shows that God can work mightily when we speak up. You never know where it's going to lead.
You know, how much good can one person do? You speak a word and you don't know where it's going to lead. And sometimes you find out years later that that simple word that you spoke, you know, had this power, had this effect.
And maybe, maybe it took a long time even for it to happen, but God can work, but he chooses to work through people who speak the good word.
Bryan: Yeah.
Hot Seat Canaanite Woman
Bryan: So let's maybe move on to another example here and maybe jump onto the hot seat a little bit because there's some people here that we start to think about, specifically the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15, and then we'll get to Jephthah's daughter in Judges 11. These two figures who were in our bracket, very challenging.
We don't know their names, but there's some questions related to these two ladies that I think maybe we can wrestle together with here in this conversation on the hot seat. So question here for the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15 is, "What is going on with the fact that Jesus calls her a dog?" I mean, wait, does he actually call her a dog?
That may be the first question to ask from this
Ryan: Well, he uses a different word for dog than most of the time what we see. It's like a diminutive word. I think of it like, you know, I don't know Greek as well as, as maybe I've studied Spanish, but I think of it like in Spanish when you add like ito at the end, like it's not perro, it's perrito or whatever.
Like, like it's, it's a word that is endearing and diminutive, like you'd use for a beloved pet. And so that's just noteworthy that, that he's talking in this story, it's a little parable about the children. And we sometimes talk about the children of Israel who were Jesus' main mission.
He went to, to find the lost sheep of Israel, but his mission is ultimately, of course, for everyone. And he sees everyone as important and valuable. And it's really interesting in Mark, the first part of Mark, all of the verses up until this point in Mark 7 are all about how objects are not inherently unclean. And he's like challenging the view of the Pharisees and the conventional Jewish wisdom about objects and what actually makes you unclean is your heart.
And I think that here Mark has arranged this and what's happening is that Jesus is probably building on that to, in a challenging and surprising way, help us to see that people aren't inherently unclean either. It's about the person, it's about who they are and their heart. And so I, you know, I mean, we could ask, is this a test?
Is this a teaching moment? Is this cultural language? Is this something else? I think in a way it's all three, but the heart of the story is this witty bit of repartee, right, between this woman and him. And she really shines as the star, but I don't know, maybe that's a opening intro, a foray into answering this hot seat question.
What do you think is going on
Bryan: Well, I mean, he doesn't like - okay, so let's just get it out on the table. I don't think he is specifically using this, like, pejoratively at her. He's not calling her, like, "You dog." He doesn't say that. He answers her, "It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dog."
So he's suddenly now shifted to a conversation about children and bread and giving that, you know, provision to dogs. And I don't think he's, like, directly wanting us to make that comparison. I could totally see that as a - this would not be a conversational tactic I should use in my own marriage. Because I know that, of course, you know, my wife would absolutely say, "Are you calling me a dog?"
Like, but of course, that's not what Jesus is doing here. And I think using this tactically because he is putting something out there to kind of push her a little bit to make sure, you know, to see if she's really thinking along the lines of, you know, him as the one who can heal her daughter or not.
And, like, it almost feels like he is putting this out there on purpose so that he can see what type of response she's going to have.
Ryan: agree completely. Like you wouldn't want to use that with your spouse, I agree. And she could say, are you calling me a dog? But this lady could have said that too. She could have gotten all up in his face and been like, or been discouraged, you know, and just ran away and fine if that's how you see me, I'm not, you know, what am I to you?
But she doesn't. And I agree. I think that he is challenging the norms of the way things are thought of by the Jews, but also challenging her. And she responds with incredible faith and wit and cleverness and wisdom. And she's determined to make her appeal and she makes it with humility and yet without backing down.
It's so wonderful.
Bryan: I see Second Peter 3, right? You know, I see her responding about her faith, yet with gentleness and respect, right? Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master's table. It's like, drop the mic. That was the response. That's exactly what you say to Jesus in this case. Like, yeah, I understand and I agree with you.
However, let's keep, you would almost imagine Jesus having a response that sounded exactly like that to people who were, you know, questioning him and for him to then say, "Oh, woman, great is your faith. Let it be done for you as you desire." Of course, she's chosen the right response there in that case. But, you know, I think her whole motivation of going to Jesus, even though she is an outsider, even though she does recognize that, you know, the children of Israel came first.
They were the lost sheep of Israel. They were the ones who he was out there for. But the fact that she's an outsider does not push her away to the point where she doesn't feel like she can approach Jesus. And Jesus was available to outsiders, even, you know, within the lost sheep of Israel, but also to those on the outside for those who had faith enough to push past, you know, their own boundaries and limitations.
Ryan: this is how he approaches in some ways everyone and all of his teaching is it's always pushing. It's always needling at people to see if they can have a breakthrough and try to help them get to the next step. And remember, he knows hearts. He could see, you know, I don't know that he always chose to see everything that he could see.
But, you know, he perhaps could see how she would respond. And this becomes a lesson to everybody who's watching this play out and to us
Hot Seat Jephthah Daughter
Bryan: let's go back quite a long ways into the past in the book of Judges and talk about Jephthah's daughter. Actually, it's interesting as we're recording this, I'm like weaving my way through the Old Testament in my reading that I'm doing. And I just like wrapped up the story of Judges last week. So this has been on my mind and thinking about this story quite a lot.
And this story is a really tragic one because Jephthah as a judge makes a really just foolish decision to make this promise that whoever would come out of his house to greet him first would be offered as an offering. I don't know what he was expecting as part of this, but like the question is did Jephthah actually offer his daughter as a burnt offering?
If we're getting on the hot seat and kind of dealing with some of the drama or, you know, difficulty in some of these passages. Do you think that actually happened in this
Ryan: I lean that way. But there is a starting point. It's good to just know there is still to this day like a split. There is no like scholarly consensus or, you know, consensus among, you know, students of the Bible that this is what happened, that he sacrificed her.
The other option is that she was sent to tabernacle service or take some kind of a vow, almost like a Nazarite vow type of vow where she is, you know, going to remain a virgin and serve the Lord. And some of the reasons that people like that way of understanding it are, well, one, it is utterly despicable and against the law and the worst thing that basically you could do. The most pagan evil thing
is sacrificing your child. And here is somebody who is an Israelite doing that. But also So it says in Judges 11.30, "And Jephthah made a vow to the Lord and said, 'If you will give the Ammonites into my hand, then whatever comes out from the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the Ammonites shall be the Lord's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.'" And Adrian and I were talking about this and she was looking up some of the Hebrew and there's a rabbi that notes that this word "and" can also mean "or."
It's the same word. So this person or animal or whoever comes out to meet me shall be the Lord's, or I will offer it up for a burnt offering is evidently another option. And then the other argument that people give for this kind of lighter, a little bit more palatable kind of way of seeing this story is that the emphasis is on her virginity rather than on her death after this.
But I think if you put it together, I think there are some ways of seeing all of this that kind of make me lean towards the other perspective. What about you, just as a starting point
Bryan: Yeah, I mean the simplest reading of it is that, you know, in verse 39 at the end of the two months after, you know, of course she had gone on a trip with her friends and, you know, wept for her virginity in the mountains as it says there. At the end of the two months she returned to her father who did with her according to his vow that he had made.
And of course it goes on to talk about her virginity still. She had never known a man and it became a custom in Israel that the daughters of Israel went out year by year to lament this situation and everything else. But I would say that the simplest reading of it is that that's what he did. And I don't exactly, you know, the place where this story takes place is also important.
I think contextually with the judges, right? Because you get to the point where the first few judges have some strong moral fiber, I guess at least some characteristics of being somewhat in line with God's will, but then very quickly it just turns like a, you know, downward spiral and each of the judges that come after the other one just kind of is a worse and worse version of the previous one.
And like we see here, you know, it is not hard to imagine that the pagan culture around them, the Canaanite culture, you know, all of the the gods, Molech and, you know, Dagon and all these other gods who are around at the time would have been influencing them to be okay with this kind of idea. And I don't know.
I mean, I can see it and I think that's probably what it was. But again, either way, I mean, this was a situation at the very least that caused people to lament and never to forget her. And like we're still talking about her even to this day. So, I mean, I feel like the story is there to tell us like this is what happens when you, number one, make promises you shouldn't make.
Number two, this is what happens when you really get to, you know, being so far gone and so far influenced by the world that you just begin to interleave like your faith with whatever is going on in the world around you. Yeah.
Ryan: I think that is a key to this whole thing is we are seeing a picture of what Judges is all about. A time when there was no king and everyone did what was right in their own eyes. Jephthah at the beginning of the story or throughout the story had some honor in the way he spoke about, I think it's Chamash, one of the Canaanite gods.
The fact that he even made this vow is a pagan way of interacting. This kind of vow where you try to get what you want, manipulate a god to do what you want by trading something that is painful and difficult.
So it is right in line with the pagan culture around him to make a vow like this.
And he doesn't say who it's going to be. But the issue here with the virginity is that she's his only child. And so he has no line. His name will die. And this young lady responds perfectly, you know, like as you would want to see a child responding as a father comes home from war.
She comes with this beautiful devotion and love. And then when he tells her this awful news, she responds with courage and she interprets this event to have been, you know, the victory to be Yahweh's victory avenging his people. And I mean, she sees this whole thing with such faith and courage. And her response is remembered by all of these daughters of Israel.
Whereas Jephthah, we always will recognize, was a fool.
Bryan: Yeah.
I think it's the reason why she's on this list at all is like her response, you know, the fact that she's able to confidently say, "Let this thing be done for me." Like that, that's mind-blowing, you know, just to think of her trust in God, her love, apparently, for what was right and true. I mean, I'm going to give her as much credit as I absolutely can.
I don't think she was, you know, in line with a lot of the false pagan worship here, but she does seem to commit herself to this fate, which, boy, I mean, it's just amazing. It's the reason why we're talking about her in this conversation. So, you know, these two hot seat questions, I think, were kind of an interesting diversion here on our little travel through these nameless, notable women here.
Bible Headlines Wise Women
Bryan: But maybe let's wrap up this little bit of a segment with a conversation about some Bible headlines
Ryan: And so I thought maybe we could do two quick hits, just summarize some of the stories using this Bible headline format and then just get into a few details about them.
So the first one is this, Bryan. Anonymous actress delivers a parable that moves the throne. And so the storyline is Joab sends a wise woman to David to act like a grieving mother and tell him a story about one of her sons killing the other. It's all a false story, but it's a way of reaching David to move the king towards restoring his son Absalom using this script that Joab had given her.
And we called her the wise woman of Tekoa in our bracket from 2 Samuel 14. So what's your one quick takeaway her story?
Bryan: This is an interesting one from 2 Samuel 14. I'm just going to say that she is the master of the rhetorical empathy. It's like, you know, she used a story to bypass David's defenses. And, you know, I don't know. I mean, there's there's all sorts of cunning ways we can deal with situations in our life. And sometimes, you know, using empathy can be a can be a way to to make that all happen.
I don't know. What do you what do you take away from her story here?
Ryan: It is. It is the power of a story too. Of course, Nathan uses this with David. There's the example of Hushai and his story as a different thing than Ahithophel,
Bryan: Yeah.
Ryan: guy that's like giving wiser advice. But Hushai gives this powerful story full of pictures and imagination. And here this story reaches David and he's able to see from a different perspective. Really lets you understand why Jesus taught with parables so much, why stories throughout the Bible are so helpful for us.
And just as a teacher or even a parent or a friend, helps me remember the importance of being able to tell a story. Maybe not pretend that I am telling a true story, but to tell a story, maybe a story about me, maybe a story of her just to help people change their perspective.
Bryan: All right. So that was the first headline. What do you got
Ryan: OK, second headline, Wisdom at the Wall. How One Woman Averted Disaster. So the storyline here with her city under siege, a woman calls out from the wall and confronts the general and quickly diagnoses the issue. There's a rebel hiding in their city, and that's the reason that their whole city is under siege.
And so she reminds Joab again, the general, that her city matters. She says, you know, this is a mother in Israel. They used to talk about the wisdom that's in the city and it doesn't need to be destroyed. And so she instead goes back to her city when she finds out the issue and she counsels them to offer the rebels head and she saves her city.
She throws the head of the, they throw the head of this rebel over the wall. So we called her the wise woman of Abel in our bracket. This is in 2 Samuel 20. And I think every community needs people like this. Our churches need people like this, our families in a crisis. What single trait would you most want to emulate from
Bryan: man. Yeah.
I mean, the fact that, you know, she calls herself one of those who are peace peaceable and faithful in Israel.
You know, I think that there's a certain way of peacemaking that doesn't involve the kind of things we often think about. You know, I often think about peace as just like ignoring things and trying to sweep it under the rug.
But like she is, you know, she is active in her
peacemaking and in the way that she's able to take on resolving these situations. I think. Yeah. Like you say, every community needs people like this and people who are willing to step into the gap and do the hard thing to make peace and to get these situations resolved.
It is the reason why we called her the wise woman, because she is she's acting with a lot of discernment in all the ways that really are going to bring this resolution. So I think it's just that courage to step up and make those difficult decisions.
Ryan: Yeah, there's a lot of wisdom in these ladies that we're talking about. Adrian reminded me, well, you know, wisdom itself is a lady.
So it's not surprising there's all these wise women and courageous women. And she she brings about peace. And in a way, I mean, it might seem barbaric the way it all plays out.
But there was some justice done there, too. He was he was bringing the whole community under fire for his evil actions, rebelling against the king. And she was able to lead them through it to an end that saved her city. Yeah, I think the single trait may be that I would pull out from that and connect it back to the story of the Hebrew, young Hebrew maid.
And the, you know, the Canaanite woman is all of them spoke up.
Bryan: Yeah.
Ryan: You just step in and say, somebody's got to do something here. And she says, I'm going to go talk to them and see what's the issue. Like how complicated it is sometimes. Sometimes you just have to go and talk to somebody and find out, hey, what is the issue here?
Let's see if we can figure this
out. And why do we step? We skip that step so often. They on our opposite sides of the wall.
Widow of Nain Compassion
Bryan: this has been a whole like, I know, rapid fire discussion about a whole bunch of unnamed women throughout the Bible. Let's wrap up our conversation with one more. And that fast forwards us into the story where we get back to Jesus.
Ryan: So this one is in Luke 7, 11 to 17, and it's the widow of Nain. And it's another one of these ladies that I had to look up and remember, OK, who is this? And Jesus is walking into town during a funeral procession and a crowd is carrying this young man's body, his mom's only son.
And she's already a widow without anybody asking for his help. And Jesus' response to her is don't cry. No woman, no cry. To quote Bob Marley.
Bryan: Did not expect
Ryan: Maybe
Bryan: to show up in this episode.
Ryan: a weird place to pull that in. But, you know, he says to her, hey, don't cry. Don't don't weep. And he touches the beer carrying the body.
And Jesus says, young man, I say to you, arise. And he sits up, he starts talking. And I love this line. Jesus gave him to his mother. So like, what does Jesus see in this woman that, you know, we could miss? And what do we learn about his heart, you think, from this story?
And in a way, isn't it kind of like a reversal on some of these other stories, like the Jephthah
story here?
You know, instead of the father, you know, losing his daughter, here is a mother who has lost her son and Jesus restores him. And there's, I don't know, I see echoes of Ruth and Naomi, you know, the widow who loses her son also. And more than that, she is utterly alone, like she's lost all her people. And this is like a last straw. Right. I mean, this is like feels like just the end of the road. It also echoes the Hagar story that we just talked about. So I just find this to be a beautiful way of pulling all of these nameless notables and some of these other stories that we've talked about together and seeing how Jesus sets things right.
Bryan: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the fact that he he is able to change this woman's situation. And again, with so many of the followers of Jesus and these early disciples and the people we meet in Jesus story, we don't even know who they are. And this is just a random, you know, woman who he tells not to cry and, you know, fixes her entire situation.
I love that this kind of ties up a lot of of these stories and leads us back to Jesus. And I appreciate that this story is is here for us. Just not the least of which is to say that like it's not even so much that Jesus cared about, you know, Lazarus and bringing him back to life for his two friends who he was very close to Mary and Martha.
Like he was able to do this for somebody that he didn't even know. And that's kind of another facet of this that I I kind of think about at this
Ryan: like what happens when regular life is interrupted by Jesus coming to town? Like he just happens to walk in as this funeral procession is walking out and Nobody says, hey, there's Jesus. Maybe he could help. He just feels compassion for her and walks over and touches the funeral beer, the pallet. And like you said, changes everything.
But it's like, how does Jesus shift all of our days, all of our stories when he gets to walk into a day of our life? You know, whatever's happening, this is just what happens in this broken world, that there are funerals And there are troubling moments And there are all of these these problems. There is leprosy And there is, you know war and Jesus walks in and does change
Bryan: Yeah.
No Insignificant Roles
Bryan: Well, and this whole conversation has really been focused on these nameless, notable women. And of course, you know, as we were talking about in our bracket, they're all being pitted against one another.
So whoever is your favorite, hopefully they've made it pretty far. But I think what we've seen here, at least in this regional, is that in God's story, there's really no insignificant roles. And that's what we've been talking about in this episode. Even these little acts of faith, they're able to make huge impacts.
And like you talked about dominoes, they're able to be the little baby domino that could eventually, you know, topple the big ones in history. So I've appreciated this conversation. And it struck me that, you know, so many of these women, they spoke up or they took action or they got involved even when it would have been easier for them not to.
And for so many of us, fear can take over and we can just think like, boy, I'm not, I'm not that person. I'm not an I. I don't have that gift or ability. I'm just going to let somebody else do it. And even though we don't know these women's name, we absolutely see them stepping in and making a difference in ways that they could never even have predicted themselves.
So that's just an encouragement to me and my faith to just keep pushing and to know that even my small work is able to do amazing things when God takes care of it. So what about you? What are you getting from this conversation?
Ryan: Well, I loved where you started the whole thing about like we can all relate to being a lesser known player in the story. I'm probably never going to be a Paul, but maybe I could be like an Ananias
that converted Paul, you know, or I might never be Timothy. But what about a Lois and a Eunice or Aquila and Priscilla that led to Apollos being this powerful orator for the Lord?
You know, the small roles often are where the big roles come from because the domino factor you're talking about. So like all of the little conversations you have, you know, with your children, with your neighbor, with the people, the brothers and sisters, the church, it's all building the same spiritual building for the Lord, as we like to say.
It's all people work, and everything we're doing is building people, and those people can do magnificent things through the power of the
Bryan: Yeah.

Bryan: So as we as we drop this episode, we probably still have another day or two to vote in our final four. So please go ahead and do that if you haven't done that already. But boy, this has been fun. And I've enjoyed thinking through some of these awesome ladies with you. Maybe we'll get a chance to revisit some of these conversations here throughout the course of this season.
But on our next episode, Ryan has some questions for me about our I don't know, call it a meeting that I did over in Plainfield, Indiana, that him and I got a chance to go catch up with each other in person for the first time in a long time. So we're going to talk about that and hopefully get into some interesting discussions about what it means to live in the sight of God unveiled and honest before him.
