She Was Falsely Accused, Completely Misunderstood — and Chosen Anyway | The Truth About Mary Magdalene EP: 211

She’s been misidentified for 14 centuries. Today we set the record straight. In this episode of the Bible Moms series, Kate and Rebecca study one of the most misunderstood women in all of scripture — Mary Magdalene. Was she really a prostitute? What does it mean that seven demons were cast out of her? And why was the most important message in human history entrusted to a woman whose testimony wasn’t even legally valid in her day? From the shores of Magdala to the empty tomb, discover how a woman who went from completely bound to completely free became the very first person to proclaim the resurrection — earning her the ancient title: Apostle to the Apostles. Whether you’re a mom carrying a label that doesn’t belong to you, a woman who has shared truth that wasn’t received, or someone who just needs to hear Jesus call your name — this episode is for you. TAKEAWAYS FOR MOMS 1. You are a disciple to your disciples. Like Mary Magdalene, your assignment is to faithfully carry the message — not to control how it’s received. 2. Let Jesus call your name. Don’t build your identity on what others have said about you. Entrust yourself to the God who judges justly. 3. Prodigal mom? Keep speaking truth. Their response is not your assignment.
