At the heart of this story: By the Jabbok River, Jacob wrestles all night long, grappling with his experiences, his memories, and his pain. The next morning, he sets out—still bearing his scars—but blessed and with hopeful prospects for the future. Read from a woman’s perspective.
In the process, voices are heard calling for justice and demanding dignity. Some of these voices are loud, combative, and angry, yet they are also creative and inspiring. Struggles are not necessarily just acts of resistance, but also acts of creation: people’s presence, their courage, and their visionary power create new opportunities, new relationships, new communities, and a future.
This Sunday, let yourself be inspired by women who, like Jacob, emerge from their struggles with renewed strength and pass that strength on to others.
Featuring Patricia Lardi Bonilla and Maryon Capararo on vocals and guitar, Rev. Alexandra Flury-Schölch, director of studies at Mission 21, and local pastor Wilma Finze-Michaelsen.
