Bible Stories for Snarky People

Josh and Sarah share the mic once again with Shay, Felix, Isaac, Soren, and Jazmin ... with Rose also dropping in on the action. Together they conquer the rest of the Book of Job and wonder ... what does this ancient text really tell us about the nature of God and the necessity of human suffering?

We kick of season 3 of Bible Stories for Snarky People with A Very Special Episode. This has been a long time in the making, and Sarah and Josh are so grateful for the extra help! Now ... who is this Job guy, anyway?

In the final episode of the long-winded second season, Jacob's family are all reunited in Egypt, where they will live happily ever after. Until their descendants become slaves, of course. As always, Sarah finds ample opportunity to interrupt Josh with commentary -- and, for the first time, commercials!

Josh and Sarah are so close to finishing the Book of Genesis that they can taste the very pistachios growing along the Nile ... and lots of other snack food besides, which is confusing, because we're supposed to be in the middle of a famine here. But then, going back and forth from Canaan to Egypt take a lot of energy! When and how will the Joseph saga finally end?

Merry Christmas to all of Sarah and Josh's loyal listeners. For the second year in a row, we have a gift for you, and this one is a parody of "Anti-Hero" by Taylor Swift. Unlike last year's parody, we think the original version of this song is great. But we're having fun with it anyway. For the full context, be sure to listen to our episodes covering Genesis 36 and following. (We haven't actually recorded the episodes that complete this story, but ... well ... spoiler alert.)

Sarah and Josh finally spring Joseph from prison so he can put that dream interpretation to higher-profile use. But what’s this? Who are these men loping into Egypt with their heads hung low? Could it be that what goes around comes around?

Josh has a confession to make to Sarah, and only then can they get back to poor Joseph, who has been stuck in Egypt for some time now ... But never fear, because Joseph has a Freudian streak a mile wide.

Josh and Sarah get back to Joseph, who's been stewing in Egypt for some time and finds that his changing fortunes give him whiplash. But first ... well, it's time for confession and reconciliation.

Parents, once, again, please listen first! We couldn't avoid the unpleasantness forever. Today, Sarah and Josh compare and contrast two abused women of the Bible, and that means going back a little in the narrative to make amends to a woman who would otherwise never get to speak. But along the way, there's plenty of entertaining trickery, and even an incident of a biblical man (gasp) admitting that the woman was right!

Jealous siblings may especially appreciate this episode, which will enable them to harbor revenge fantasies involving holes in the ground, fake murder, goat blood, and never having to see your little brother again. (Or so you think for NOW.) Josh and Sarah muscle through a genealogy and then get on to the real action.
