Watch Shadia’s powerful opening message as she introduces us to a young girl who suffered multiple injustices, but whose bold choices forever altered the trajectory of human history.

Shadia begins by tracing the generations of the famous, but dysfunctional family that Tamar would marry into. All along the way, we encounter lying, betrayal, stealing . . . yet through it all, God is working out His sovereign plan behind the seen.

During this session, Shadia unveils the consequences of Judah’s poor choices. But when it comes time for Judah to seek a wife for his firstborn son, Tamar steps onto the scene – and into God’s redemptive story.

In this dramatic session, Shadia invites us to step into Tamar’s sandals by providing us with an unforgettable glimpse into what life might have been like for young Tamar, who suffered not one, but two abusive husbands.

Through captivating teaching, Shadia recounts events which, within the bounds of God’s sovereignty, begin to turn the tide in Tamar’s favor. Refusing to give in to self-pity, Tamar rises above her circumstances – with consequences that echo into eternity.

Like Tamar, all of us face times when we struggle with doubt, suffer injustice, or experience betrayal. Listen as Shadia unfolds the beauty of God’s faithfulness as He uses Judah’s mistakes to welcome Tamar into His covenant family. 24 minutes

In this last session, Shadia challenges us to recognize that though there may be times when we are like Judah or Tamar – trying to do things our own way or pretending to be something we’re not – when God makes us His own, He will redeem it all for His glory.
