Episode Synopsis

This Advent, we’ll be deep-diving on some of the more unexpected or obscure ancestors in Jesus’s gospel genealogies, linking them with the four themes of Advent: Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. Today is Advent Week One: Hope. But not the soft-focus, candlelit kind of hope we so often hear from the systems that benefit from the status quo. Today we’re checking in with Tamar, a trickster figure who shows us what hope looks like when all the institutional power is stacked against us.
