Listen to the first audio drama in the Advent series; 'The women in Jesus' genealogy.' The account of Tamar in Genesis 38, is an unlikely story of a woman whom Jesus chooses to include in his lineage. She becomes not just any mother, but in her motherhood, God raises her, a widow from a Canaanite background ( an enemy of Israel) to become a mother of a royal line that eventually leads to King David, then Jesus. I invite you now two thousand years after the first coming of Christ to listen to how Tamar's story speaks to you this Advent.

‘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.
