Can you name the five women whose courage changed the course of history? Hidden within the Book of Numbers is the remarkable story of Zelophehad’s daughters—Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah—five sisters who dared to challenge tradition and ask for justice. But their story is about far more than inheritance. It is about faith, courage, family, and finding your voice in the wilderness.

Through biblical storytelling, we will bring Numbers 27 to life, exploring the sisters’ lineage, their father's death, the shadow of Korah's rebellion, and the extraordinary moment when they stood before Moses, Eleazar, the leaders, and the entire assembly. Why did they speak up? What made their request so remarkable? And what can their story teach us today? Drawing on the research and discoveries behind my biblical novel, Daughters of the Wilderness, we will explore the Hebrew meaning of wilderness, the significance of Emet (truth), and how storytelling opens our hearts to Scripture in new ways. Through reflection, conversation, and small-group activities, we will discover how an ancient story can take root in our own lives—and continue to grow long after the telling ends.
