Lots of people get tripped up by stories of violence, and violent conquest, in the Bible. What is the proper posture with which to read these stories? What must we be cautious to avoid? What is the best way for us to read these in the context of the Bible as a whole?

- Today's episode also marks the one-year anniversary of rebranding the podcast as "Bible Jazz"
- Over the next year we'd like Bible Jazz to offer listening content AND be an active contributor to tangible needs in our community. If you have ideas of how Bible Jazz can give back, please write at [email protected] or message us on Instagram @biblejazz
