February 18, 2020 Epistles and the Damage Done by Poor Translation
We finally get our good friend and pastor Harlan Shoop on the show! We're talking about how to read "epistles," otherwise known as letters, in the New Testament. A lot of damage has been done by irresponsible interpretation, and this is one example. Let's see if we can avoid letting Paul's letter get lost in translation.

February 11, 2020 Stories that Changed the World
Faux fur. Robot aliens. And some of our favorite stories!

It's story time in this series as Aaron brings us one of Jesus' parables. What's up with the vineyard? What do you think about how the landowner treats the latecomers?

Also, we discuss a great question from a listener!

February 03, 2020 This Time They Got it Right...Right?
What's one of your favorite stories? Tell us about it at [email protected]

Would you rather ride a donkey or a giraffe?
Would you rather be baptized in a river or a tub?
This week we're looking at narrative again, from the New Testament -- Luke's narratives about baptism in the book of Acts. What parts were "there and then," and what aspects are for "here and now?"

January 27, 2020 They Did It...Must We Do It?
Can you smell the hush puppies? What is the Hebrew for "baldy"? What do female bears have to do with it? Experience the epitome of improvised conversation! (And don't forget to listen to the Easter egg at the end of the episode).

We'll take a look at the difference between "narrative" and "normative" as we read the Hebrew scriptures (also known as the Old Testament) -- what elements of God's Word before Jesus simply tells us what happened in the past, and what elements tell us what should always be happening? Jesus himself interprets the scripture of his ancestors, and our interpretation relies on him.

January 20, 2020 What is Your Interpretive "Lens"?
Popcorn in kids' ears! A dog named Dandy! A cat named Hermeneutics! And of course, an honest look at the presuppositions we bring to the Bible, how it affects our perception and reception, and what it means for becoming more mature readers of the most prolific book in history.
