Tucked into the Joseph story is a chapter most people skip. Tamar. Awkward. Misunderstood. Uncomfortable. But the Bible doesn’t skip her—and neither should we. In this message, we step inside the world Tamar lived in: A world where covenant meant survival, where households held the power of justice and mercy, and where obligations carried the weight of generations. What looks like scandal reveals something far more serious—and more sacred. This message lays a foundation for understanding covenant, faithfulness, and the surprising ways God honors those who act with courage inside broken systems.
