Faith Under Fire: Shiprah & Puah — The Midwives Who Defied Pharaoh

What does it look like to fear God more than powerful men?

In this episode of the Kingdom Housewives Podcast, we continue our February series Faith Under Fire: Women Who Trusted God When Fear or Danger Was Present by spotlighting two often-overlooked women whose quiet obedience changed history—Shiphrah and Puah, the Hebrew midwives of Exodus 1.

Long before Moses was placed in a basket…
Before Miriam watched from the riverbank…
Before Pharaoh’s daughter acted in compassion…
Two women stood face-to-face with a command to kill—and chose to obey God instead.

When Pharaoh ordered state-sponsored murder of Hebrew baby boys, Shiphrah and Puah feared the Lord more than the throne of Egypt. Their courage preserved life, protected God’s promise, and set the stage for Israel’s deliverance.

In this episode, we explore:
• What “faith under fire” really looks like
• Why God honors women who stand when it’s dangerous
• How ordinary obedience can impact generations
• Why fearing God always brings greater security than fearing man

If you’ve ever felt pressured to stay silent, compromise, or go along with what God clearly calls wrong—this episode is for you.

“The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.” — Proverbs 29:25

Because of Shiphrah and Puah’s faith under fire, history was changed. And your obedience still matters today.
