‘A beautiful thing’ podcast is inspired by the line that Jesus says to Mary of Bethany that, ‘She has done a beautiful thing for me’. (Mark 14:6) This podcast offers a fresh encounter with the women in Scripture through a dramatic re-telling of their story with some teaching and reflection. In some episodes there will be interviews with Christian women today and Christian artists who use beauty to share the gospel. My hope is that through the podcast, I will offer something beautiful to God and that Jesus will offer something beautiful to you the listener.
