Show Notes – The Bloodline of Grace: Tamar

Description:

Tamar’s story in Genesis 38 is not the one we expect to find in Jesus’ family line. It’s messy, filled with betrayal, injustice, and scandal. Yet Matthew includes her name in his genealogy on purpose. Why? Because Tamar’s story shows us that God works through the messy, defends the powerless, and redeems broken legacies. In this episode of The Bloodline of Grace, we slow down to walk through Tamar’s story and uncover powerful truths about God’s grace.
