Health Discovered Podcast, where we bring you fascinating stories and unique perspectives, like our recent episode on how heart failure can particularly affect women in Black and Hispanic communities.

00:47

We've documented it time and time again. She was young. She was Black. She was a woman.

00:53

No one expected her to look like the face of heart failure. When you don't look like what someone expects, that's going to lead to delays in diagnosis.

01:03

We all have to take this consolation of symptoms, treat it the same each and every time, whether it's a young person, a

01:10

Black person, a woman. If someone presents to me with my heart racing and feeling winded, I need to get an echocardiogram 100 % of the time, regardless.

This is a ministry of striving for eternity. Jephthah is our next judge, and what we see is

01:49

Jephthah was the son of a prostitute in Gilead. He was not really accepted by the people, but when they needed a judge, when they needed a real leader, they turned to Jephthah.

01:59

Now, Jephthah is, as we're seeing each one of these times that we see a new judge, his reign is shorter and shorter as Israel continues in more and more moral decline.

02:12

Jephthah, however, is most known for a vow that he made. When he went to war, he makes a vow that the first thing that he enters, when he enters back to his house, the first thing that comes out of the house, he will sacrifice unto the

02:26

Lord. And the first thing that, when he came home, that leaves the house was his daughter.

02:33

So many people get into the question, did he offer his daughter as a burnt sacrifice?

02:38

Because that's what he said he would do, thinking maybe the first thing he saw would be a cow or something like that, we guess.

02:45

But it was his daughter. And people say, well, he couldn't have had a burnt sacrifice of a human, because that would be a violation of what

02:53

God would have. So what did he do? Well, the fact that Jephthah's daughter went to weep, the fact that we see that the women of Israel for years would think about Jephthah's daughter and remember her and basically celebrate or think of having a memorial to her each year.

03:13

The idea is that she was the end of the line. She was an only daughter and never married.

03:18

That would be how the vow was fulfilled, we believe. This podcast is part of the
