Who is the Mary that we forgot? Mary Magdalene. Although she was the first apostle or messenger of the Good News, Dr. Jennifer McNutt (https://beyondordinarywomen.org/video-contributors/#Jennifer) says that her story is often confused, scandalized, and undervalued by the church. Don’t miss Dr. McNutt’s lively conversation with Sharifa Stevens (https://beyondordinarywomen.org/video-contributors/#Sharifa) about her book, The Mary We Forgot.

In this podcast, Dr. McNutt helps us see Mary’s prominence in the Gospels and how she serves as a model of discipleship for both men and women today instead of being the Mary we forgot.
