Wicked or WiseThe Story of Asenath – Live Stream Recording | Ep. 32
Most people wouldn’t be happy to have an arranged marriage with an ex-convict. Especially one who shows some (traditionally considered) bipolar tendencies. But whether she was happy to wife up or not, she did, and the result was the birth of two rather beautiful miracles. Scripture doesn’t tell us any words she spoke, but her children carry on her legacies of hope and redemption in their names.
Who is she? Asenath, Wife of Joseph.

One thing was certain: if he could, she would spend the rest of her life telling everyone.
