This Advent and Christmas we explore how God’s redemptive story flows through surprising women, outsiders, risk-takers, the broken and the brave. Each woman carries a story of courage, faith, risk, and God’s grace breaking through unexpected people and places, a reminder that Christ’s coming often appears in the unexpected even today.
