What the Bible Really Means by “Beautiful” (Ep. 29) Come Follow Me

The Bible calls women like Sarah, Rebekah, and Rachel “beautiful”— but it may have less to do with appearance than you think. In this episode of Jesus Christ in Scripture, Tammy Uzelak Hall and Dr. Donald W. Parry explore what the Old Testament actually means when it describes women (and men) as “fair” or “beautiful.” By returning to the original Hebrew words behind these descriptions, this episode reveals that biblical beauty is deeply connected to character, covenant faithfulness, sacrifice, and spiritual strength—not time spent getting ready in the morning.
