These women felt the pain to their core everyday in their own individual way. They were objectified, used, or cheated. Despite all the horrible things that happened to them they stayed strong and lived their lives on the brink of being crushed. All of them risked their lives. In their culture if they stepped out of the societies rules or expectations, sometimes due to their pagan gods, they would be stoned by their community even their own family. They were willing to sacrifice these things because they had faith rooted into their soul and essence that God would deliver them and provide for them. They had hearts of courage, they put on the armor of God.
