Hannah and Matt consider the odd tale of Ehud, the left handed deliverer of Israel. Why are odd stories in the Bible? What do we make of the fact that Ehud almost certainly had a disability? How do we learn to move in "gray areas," like Ehud did?

Hannah and Matt discuss the tricky path of how to hold the "dual citizenship" of heaven and earth. We are sojourners here, but while we're here, how do we mix in with the culture as "salt," but retain our "saltiness." It's an age-old struggle for Christians.
