What if the Church has forgotten one of its most important witnesses?
In this episode of The Faith (In)Forming Podcast, host Travis Jamieson sits down with Dr. Jennifer Powell McNutt, professor of theology and history at Wheaton College, to discuss her new book, The Mary We Forgot: What the Apostle to the Apostles Teaches the Church Today (Brazos Press, 2024).
We explore:
🔹 Who Mary Magdalene really was in the Gospels
🔹 How the Church misremembered her story through history
🔹 Why she’s called “the apostle to the apostles”
🔹 What reclaiming her story means for the Church today
🔹 The intersection of historical theology, gender, and resurrection witness
Dr. McNutt is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, an ordained Presbyterian minister, and an award-winning author known for her work on the Reformation and the Reformed tradition. This conversation bridges the academy and the church, challenging us to reconsider how we remember—and why it matters.
