EP 121: Rape Is Never Your Fault: Tamar, Daughter Of King David

On our second week of the new Bible character series, we will talk about the tragic story of Tamar, the daughter of King David. We discuss the other supporting characters in the story that contributed to the rape of Tamar by her half-brother, Amnon. Does Tamar get any justice? Why is sexual sin so evil? Are there any takeaways or lessons that we can learn from this account? Yes. Please join me in studying God's Word to learn about this beautiful and godly woman. Full transcript below!

Brought to you by DSW Ministries. Your host is singer songwriter, speaker and domestic violence advocate, Diana Winkler. She is passionate about helping survivors in the church heal from domestic violence and abuse and trauma. This podcast is not a substitute for professional counseling or qualified medical help. [00:00:27] Now here is Diana. [00:00:34] Hello everybody. Welcome back, glad that you're with us. It is an honor to have you. And I hope that your week is going smoothly. I am recording this the day of the Super Bowl. So I am in here recording a podcast instead of watching the game. that is my preference. [00:00:57] they had the, PGA tour, [00:01:00] going on this week as well, and then the week before was Barrett Jackson Auto Show, so it wreaks havoc on our traffic here, but hopefully by tomorrow everybody will be going back home and will be a little bit easier of a commute to work. [00:01:17] So if you enjoy the Super Bowl I hope that you enjoyed that and the commercials. [00:01:23] Now, today we're continuing our series on prominent people of the Bible, particularly ones that have suffered some abuse or trauma. The Bible has a lot to say about abuse. Most people don't know that. And so we're going to explore these people's lives, and I am going to be totally honest with you. [00:01:45] Some stories in the Bible do not have a happy ending. The Bible records the stories as they are without any kind of editing. Some are very graphic and some [00:02:00] are not as graphic,
