The Faithful: Women of the Bible Is A Must-Watch Series for Christian Women

If you’ve been wondering whether The Faithful: Women of the Bible is worth watching, here’s my honest review.

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Review Wire Media for FOX Entertainment Studios.

There are seasons in life when God feels quiet. Seasons when you’re praying, waiting, and wondering if He still sees you.

I remember sitting on my couch one evening, Bible open, tears in my eyes, asking God a simple question: “Do You really see me here?” It was one of those moments when everything felt uncertain, yet deep down I knew He was still working even though it felt like everything was falling apart.

I had recently gotten divorced, and now living on my own with no clue how I would be able to financially sustain myself and my kids solely now, even though I had a full-time job.

That’s why watching The Faithful: Women of the Bible felt so personal.

This new faith-based series doesn’t just tell stories from Scripture. It brings to life the raw, emotional, and deeply human experiences of women who also wrestled with waiting, identity, rejection, and trust in God. And if you’re anything like me, you’ll see pieces of your own story reflected in theirs.

What Is The Faithful: Women of the Bible About?

The Faithful: Women of the Bible is a three-part television event airing on FOX on March 22, March 29, and April 5 (Easter Sunday), with episodes available to stream the next day on Hulu.

Filmed in the stunning landscapes of Rome and Matera, Italy, this series highlights five women from the Book of Genesis:

• Sarah
• Hagar
• Rebekah
• Leah
• Rachel

But this isn’t just a retelling of Bible stories.

This series dives into the heart of their journeys, including their doubts, decisions, pain, and faith, reminding us that God has always worked through imperfect people to fulfill His promises.

Why This Series Feels So Relevant Right Now

What makes The Faithful: Women of the Bible so powerful is its relatability.

These women weren’t perfect. They struggled with comparison, control, fear, and heartbreak just like we do.

• Sarah waited years for a promise that felt impossible
• Hagar felt forgotten and alone
• Rebekah made choices that had lasting consequences
• Leah wrestled with rejection
• Rachel struggled with comparison and longing

And yet, God met each of them in their story.

Hebrews 10:23 reminds us, “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.”

It beautifully illustrates the truth that God’s faithfulness is not dependent on our perfection, but on His character.

Seeing Yourself in the Women of the Bible

As I watched, I couldn’t help but reflect on my own journey. There have been moments where I felt like:

• Sarah: waiting on God to move
• Hagar: wondering if I’d been forgotten
• Leah: questioning my worth
• Rachel: Comparing my life to others

And maybe you’ve been there too.

That’s what makes The Faithful: Women of the Bible such a meaningful watch for Christian women. It gently reminds you that your story is not outside of God’s plan.

Genesis 16:13 says: “You are the God who sees me.”

Just like He saw Hagar in the wilderness, He sees you too, even in your waiting, your healing, and your becoming.

A Fresh Perspective on Familiar Scripture

One of the things I love most about this series is how it brings fresh depth to stories we may have read many times before. Sometimes, we read Scripture quickly, focusing on the outcome rather than the process.

But this series slows things down. It invites you to feel:

• The tension of waiting
• The weight of decisions
• The ache of unmet expectations
• The beauty of God’s redemption

Romans 15:4 says: “For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us.”

And that’s exactly what this series does. It teaches, not just through words, but through story.

7 Things This Series Taught Me About Trusting God

Watching The Faithful: Women of the Bible wasn’t just inspiring; it was deeply convicting. This series reminded me that trusting God isn’t always easy, but it is always worth it.

Here are seven powerful lessons I took away:

1. God’s promises don’t have an expiration date

Sarah’s story is a reminder that even when a promise feels delayed, it is never denied when it comes from God. It shows us that God’s timing is intentional, even when it stretches our faith.

“The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise… He is patient with you.” — 2 Peter 3:9

2. God sees you even when you feel forgotten

Hagar’s story deeply moved me. In a moment of isolation, she encountered God as El Roi, the God who sees. If her story teaches anything, it’s that you are never invisible to God.

You are the God who sees me.” — Genesis 16:13

3. Your decisions matter, but God’s grace is greater

Rebekah’s journey shows us that while our choices have consequences, they don’t disqualify us from God’s plan. This is a powerful reminder that God redeems what we try to control.

“Where sin increased, grace increased all the more.” — Romans 5:20

4. Your worth is not defined by how others treat you

Leah’s story is one that so many women can relate to, feeling overlooked, unwanted, or not enough. Through her story, we’re reminded that God’s love is not based on human validation.

“The Lord sees not as man sees… the Lord looks on the heart.” — 1 Samuel 16:7

Through her story, we’re reminded that God’s love is not based on human validation.

5. Comparison will steal your joy if you let it

Rachel’s struggle with comparison and longing is something many of us face in today’s world. This gently exposes how comparison can distract us from God’s unique plan for our lives.

“Each one should test their own actions… without comparing themselves to someone else.” — Galatians 6:4

6. God is working even when you don’t understand

So many moments in this series didn’t make sense in the middle, but they all came together in God’s greater story. This reminds us that God is always behind the scenes, weaving purpose into every detail.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good…” — Romans 8:28

7. Trusting God requires surrender, not control

If there’s one lesson woven throughout every story, it’s this: we have to release control to truly trust God. This series beautifully illustrates that surrender is where peace begins.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart…” — Proverbs 3:5-6

These stories aren’t just about the women of the Bible; they’re about us. About learning to trust God in the waiting, in the unknown, and in the in-between.

Perfect Not Only for Easter Reflection, But Bible Study Too

With its final episode airing on Easter Sunday, The Faithful: Women of the Bible is perfectly timed for reflection. It would be beautiful to watch:

• During a quiet night alone with God
• With friends for a faith-filled girls’ night
• As part of a small group or Bible study

Imagine pairing each episode with Scripture, journaling, and conversation. It turns watching into something deeper, creating an experience that strengthens your faith.

Why Every Christian Woman Should Watch

If you’re in a season of waiting, healing, or becoming, The Faithful: Women of the Bible is for you. It is more than a show. It’s an invitation:

• To trust God again
• To see His hand in your story
• To remember that you are not forgotten

Because the same God who was faithful to Sarah, Hagar, Rebekah, Leah, and Rachel…is faithful to you. And maybe, just maybe, this series will remind you of something your heart has been needing to hear:

• God sees you.
• God is with you.
• And He is still writing your story.

I’d love to hear from you. Which woman’s story impacted you the most, and where is God asking you to trust Him right now?
