Because they had to record three episodes in one weekend, Grace-Elleda and Timothy take a less structured approach to this episode. Listen in as they have a discussion about democratic institutions, particularly in an American context, from a Christian perspective. What, if anything, can we take from the Bible in order to live our lives within a governmental system in which we get to participate? 

You might want to brush up on Romans 13, but there are no formal citations for this episode's scripture references

Continuing their Biblical narrative from last week, Timothy and Grace-Elleda reveal the central message that unifies all of the previous episodes.

This week, Grace-Elleda and Timothy begin a two-week exploration of the narrative that the Bible portrays.

How can a person be good? What does it mean to be good? This week Grace-Elleda Gonzalez and Timothy Kinnamon dive into the Bible to answer these questions.

To kick off their regular programming, hosts Timothy Kinnamon and Grace-Elleda Gonzalez consider how they find peace in their lives in the midst of chaotic school lives, pandemics, and questions of national identity. Ultimately, they find their peace through their relationships with God, but specifically through one piece of God.

Bible passages in this episode: Proverbs 14:30; Ephesians 2:14; Galatians 3:28; Matthew 10:34; John 14:27

Note: Timothy erroneously states that all 4 Gospels were written by original members of the 12 disciples of Jesus. This is incorrect, since the Gospel of Mark, although based on Peter's knowledge, was written by John Mark who was not one of the 12.
