Making fun of a bald man ends up with a massacre by the paws of she-bears...huh?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie continue through their Strange Scriptures series and talk through 2 Kings 2, looking at the young men who were mauled by she-bears for mocking Elisha's bald head. This passage is stated fairly matter-of-factly and seems like a crazy story to just gloss over. We dig through the context around this passage to find deeper reasonings behind such an imminent judgment on these young fools in 2 Kings.
