Deborah: The Prophetess Who Led Israel with Courage and Song. Deborah stands out in Israel’s history as a prophetess, judge, and military leader—a woman of wisdom, faith, and strength who inspired a nation to rise and reclaim its freedom. Her leadership reminds us that God raises up deliverers from every background to accomplish His purposes.

Deborah and Barak: Prophetic Leadership and the Song of Victory. When Israel was crushed beneath the weight of Canaanite oppression, God raised up not a general or king—but a prophetess named Deborah. In an age when everyone did what was right in their own eyes, Deborah did what was right in God’s. Her leadership, rooted in revelation and courage, stands in striking contrast to Barak’s hesitation and Israel’s fear.
