In this episode of the DoorWays® Ministry Podcast, Ric Shields is joined by attorney and First Assistant District Attorney Joy Thorp to explore the remarkable story of Zipporah, the wife of Moses. Though she appears only briefly in Scripture, her decisive act of obedience during one of the Bible's most mysterious moments may have preserved the mission that led to Israel's deliverance.
Together, they unpack the cultural tensions of her marriage, the strange encounter in Exodus 4, and the powerful reminder that true spiritual leadership begins at home. Zipporah's story challenges modern assumptions about courage, leadership, marriage, and faithfulness, showing that God often works through those serving quietly behind the scenes.
Whether you're carrying unseen responsibilities, navigating difficult family decisions, or wondering if your faithfulness matters, this conversation offers encouragement that God sees every act of obedience, even those hidden from the world's applause.
