In this episode of Unpresentable Parts, Samantha Neptune and Jasmine Cherry continue their three-part series on resilient women in the Bible. They focus on the story of Tamar, a woman who took unconventional measures to right the wrongs done against her. Tamar's story is often overlooked and considered messy, but it highlights the strength and resilience of women in the Bible. The hosts discuss how Tamar's actions were within the bounds of the law and how she refused to be a victim. They also explore the relevance of Tamar's story to contemporary issues faced by marginalized women. Tamar's story highlights the intersection of justice and faith. Despite being wronged, neglected, and marginalized, Tamar took intentional and shrewd actions within the bounds of the law to seek justice. She relied on her relationship with God and the protection of His law.

Tamar's story challenges us to consider how we respond to injustice and how we can assert ourselves while staying rooted in God's mercy, grace, and justice. It also reminds us that culture does not define our worth or marginalize us; God does. Tamar's story is a powerful example of justice and faith working together.

(QUICK CORRECTION: Tamar was NOT under Mosaic law. Samenthur misspoke.)
