Scarlet Cord Faith


Listen Later

What if the very thing that reminds you of your past could become the symbol of your redemption?

In this episode, Peggy Teague explores the remarkable story of Rahab—a woman whose life was marked by shame, yet transformed by faith. Through the powerful image of the scarlet cord, we discover how God redeems broken stories, honors courageous faith, and invites ordinary people into His extraordinary plan. Rahab's journey reminds us that our past does not determine our future when we place our trust in God.
