“The Mary We Forgot” with Dr. Jennifer Powell McNutt

Just as it’s important to understand our own stories to make
sense of our lives today, it’s also crucial to examine the
stories within the church’s history to better understand how they
are playing out in the present.


That’s why we’re excited to welcome back author, professor, and
church historian The Rev. Dr. Jennifer Powell McNutt as she
explores the life of a woman who played a significant role in the
ministry, burial, and resurrection of Jesus: Mary Magdalene.


For too long, the church has misunderstood Mary Magdalene—her
story often confused, scandalized, and undervalued. Yet, she was
present at the resurrection. But why was this so important? Why
was she chosen to witness and then commissioned to "go and tell,"
becoming the first apostle?


This powerful story reminds us that God calls the ordinary,
imperfect, and unexpected to uniquely reveal the gospel.
