About this listen

People have said all sorts of things about Mary Magdalene over the years. Some of it is reverent. Some of it is sloppy. And some of it is downright sensational, like it was cooked up to sell books instead of saving souls.

Today we’re going to do what we ought to do more often: we’ll go back to the sources, keep our heads, and keep our hearts in the right place. We’ll talk about what Scripture actually says about Mary Magdalene, what later tradition added, what the accusations are, and why, when it comes to Christ Jesus, holiness is not negotiable.

If you’ve ever felt whiplash from the way Mary Magdalene gets portrayed—saint one minute, scandal the next—then stay with me. We’re going to sort it out carefully and respectfully.
