I hope that you enjoy second dramatic script in the Advent series 'The women in Jesus' genealogy'.

We hear about the prostitute Rahab, who lived in Jericho one of the worst cities who refused God and was steeped in idolatry and sin. She hides the Israelite spies in her house before Israel took hold of Jericho, leading her to become accepted into the chosen people. I invite you now two thousand years after the first coming of Christ to listen to how Rahab's story speaks to you this Advent.

Welcome to my Advent Series! In this series as we prepare our hearts for Christ this Christmas, I want to take you on the biblical journey of the women in Jesus' family tree who played their part in salvation history. In this introduction episode, I narrate part of the genealogy of Jesus according to Matthew's gospel and point out the five women mentioned: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba and Mary. Allow God to speak to you through the reading of the gospel.

'A beautiful thing' podcast is inspired by the encounter that Jesus has with Mary of Bethany as he says, '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 do something beautiful for you, the listener. The first episode drops on the 4th January 2023 and every Wednesday thereafter.
