E:110: What God Says to Divorced Women Through the Woman No One Expected God to Use

Rahab is introduced in Scripture by the worst label her culture could give a woman — and that word never goes away. Not in Joshua. Not in Hebrews. Not in James. But a few generations later, that same woman is written into the family line of Jesus, and called faithful in the same breath Scripture still calls her "the prostitute." In this episode, I walk through three moments in Rahab's story — the spies she hid and lied for, the scarlet cord tied in her window, and the family tree she ended up in generations later — because her story answers a question a lot of divorced women carry quietly: does what happened to you become who you are? If you've ever felt like a label — from your marriage, your church, or your own self-judgment — got to decide who you're allowed to be next, this episode is for you.
