The Tenpenny Files with Tamar Miller

In a world fractured by anger, judgment, and relentless division, Tamar Miller reminds us that mercy still matters – and that Jesus proved it. An author, Bible teacher, and pastor’s wife, Miller brings depth and authenticity to a conversation our culture desperately needs. Her latest book, Nameless but Known: Six Biblical Women Jesus Met with His Mercy, uncovers what happens when divine compassion meets human brokenness.

In this powerful conversation, Tamar and I explore how Jesus intentionally crossed the boundaries of His time – racial, gender, and religious – to reach those society had written off. Through her vivid storytelling and theological insight, Miller shows how those encounters still speak today: to the woman who feels invisible, the man burdened by regret, and every person convinced that God has turned away.

Miller’s message is bold, redemptive, and deeply relevant. “You and I cannot appreciate the matchless mercy of the gospel,” she says, “without first addressing the bad news about ourselves.” Her stories illuminate that truth. Whether it’s the woman caught in adultery, the Samaritan at the well, or the unnamed sufferers healed by faith, these lives testify that hopelessness is not the end – it’s the beginning of God’s invitation.

Together, Tamar and I dive into themes that resonate far beyond the pages of Scripture:

Why mercy is a radical, countercultural act – and why forgiveness must be lived, not spoken.

How Jesus confronted moral and social hypocrisy with grace that disarmed shame.

The power of repentance as the gateway to genuine faith and freedom.

What it means to be seen and known by God, even in our deepest failures.

How compassion dismantles barriers of race, gender, and class in today’s divided world.

As Miller shares, Jesus met each of these women where they were – not in judgment, but in love that transforms. He still does the same today.

This episode is a reminder that faith is not for the flawless – it’s for the desperate, the searching, the ones still wrestling with grace. Get ready for a conversation that pierces the heart, stirs conviction, and restores hope. Because mercy, as Tamar Miller shows us, is not weakness – it’s the strongest force in the world.
