S0422: Lessons from the Life of Tamar
Series: The Female In God's Plan
Host: Rev. Dr. Charles Zuta
Welcome to today’s episode, where we dive into one of the most unexpected redemption arcs in the Bible—the story of Judah and Tamar. Judah, the fourth son of Jacob, whose name means “praise,” lived much of his adult life far from anything praiseworthy. His choices were flawed, his leadership absent, and his moral compass seemingly broken. But everything changed when he crossed paths with a woman named Tamar—his daughter-in-law.
Tamar’s story is one of boldness, resilience, and righteous defiance. Faced with injustice and abandonment, she took a stand not just for herself, but for what was right. And in doing so, she became the catalyst for Judah’s transformation—from a man spiraling downward to the leader of Israel’s tribes, the recipient of Jacob’s blessing, and the forefather of the Messiah.
In this episode, we explore how Tamar’s courage and perseverance reshaped history, and how her example challenges us to confront injustice with conviction—even when the odds are stacked against us.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
