About this episode
Every family tree has some nuts and squirrels up in there. Maybe, for whatever reason, you blush when you think about your family tree. Jesus certainly could have. The list given in Matthew 1 is not the guest list you would have imagined. And yet…each lived story became part of a tapestry leading to Christ.
