To Give and Sustain Life - a podcast by Women of Wonder (WOW!), Inc.

We often hear masculine metaphors to describe God. In her teaching, Dr. Amy Davis Abdallah shows us throughout the Bible there are many seldomly used metaphors highlighting the role of women that reveal the image of God. Ezer-kenegdo is a metaphor used to describe God as one who gives life and sustains life. The giving life aspect is not limited to a biological reference, but describes salvation, triumph and blessings. Sustaining life describes the work of sabbath, conservation and co-creativity. Regardless of your own gender or life stage, what ways are you giving life and sustaining life as an ezer? Dr. Amy Davis Abdallah is a Professor of Theology and Bible at Nyack College Alliance Theological Seminary. She preaches and teaches internationally and is the author of The Book of Womanhood. Find her at amyfdavisabdallah.com or Twitter @amyfdavisa.
