Black Chicks Bible Study

This episode, we meet a kookier prophet than Jeremiah. Ezekiel draws the line with his bread recipe, suffers for his art and makes more dirty whore analogies than anyone before him. 

It's arguably the saddest book of the Bible, and the one with the most cannibalism (so far). Like God himself, Lamentations is a mixed bag- depression, resignation, absurdity and worship. We nervously laugh through the atrocities and debate the merits of shame in our 25th episode. 

Jeremiah may not be the most perfectly sane or popular of the prophets, but he gets the job done. Unfortunately, his job is to scream at the Israelites about their inevitable, violent karma for decades, then barely survive an attempt on his life. Meanwhile, God's people openly cheat on him with the mysterious but powerful Queen of Heaven.

BCBS returns after Thanksgiving break! And we enter a new era of prophets, rejoining the journey of the Israelites in the midst of war and harsh judgement. We hear more promises of the utopia to come, while God updates his preferences and apologizes for being such a moody spouse.

Our friend and first guest Golden joins us to talk modern dating, ghosting, purity culture and some questionable risqué love poetry as BCBS gets almost as NSFW as the Bible itself.

We're legal! In our 21st episode, we debate the meaning(lessness) of life and the motives of a mysterious king. India sees a chip the size of his ego on his shoulder, while Lauren thinks he's got the right idea. Does anything last? Are humans just animals? Was Proverbs a sham? Ecclesiastes has all, and none, of the answers.

We're glad to be back from sabbatical with tons of handy life tips. Consider the age-old wisdom of Solomon and other God-fearing leaders of the Old Testament, and learn why it's better than gold. In episode 20 of BCBS, we're counting down our favorite passages in Proverbs and taking some long, hard looks in the mirror. 

In this episode, we cherry-pick our Top Ten fave passages from the book of Psalms. We discuss the yin and yang of life, the importance of humility, grief and hope, and why psychopaths don't enjoy Alaskan king crab. 

In book 18 of the Bible, the most righteous and God-fearing Job suffers horribly from a bet between God and newcomer Satan. He questions his place in God's plan, his friends' usefulness and morality itself. Find out why suffering is inscrutable and no one is safe in this episode of BCBS.

In Esther's book of the Bible, her male caretaker Mordecai gets all the shine. But we stand and celebrate our crafty inside woman, who wields her power to save the chosen people from an evil plot under a very impressionable king.
