This week\\u2019s episode:

\\u201cBlessed are They\\u201d: Miriam, from the Book of Exodus and elsewhere. Find Miriam\\u2019s story in Exodus 15: 20,21; Numbers 12: 1, 4, 5, 10, 15; 20:1; 26:59; Deuteronomy 24:9; 1 Chronicles 6:3; Micah 6:4.

\\u201cAmong Women\\u201d Guest: Marybeth Hicks

This week we look at taking a few moments to begin to prepare our hearts and our schedules for Lent.

In our \\u201cBlessed are They\\u201d segment, I look back into the Old Testament and talk about Miriam, Moses\\u2019 sister who helped to spare his life. It\\u2019s a neat story that reminds us that you never know how God is going to use our actions when we stand up for life.

Finally, in our \\u201cAmong Women\\u201d segment, I\\u2019m pleased to welcome author-columnist Marybeth Hicks. Together we discuss her brand new blog \\u201cOn the Culture\\u201d and \\xa0ways to combat the moral relativism that continues to plague American life.
