Do you remember what the circumference of a circle is? This week's episode is all about understanding the relationship between the circumference and the center of our own realities. 

"You are the man." Do you believe that's actually a Bible verse? It's definitely something people say casually all the time, but is it really in an ancient book about God, humanity, Jesus, faith, and the meaning of life? Yes, it is. But it isn't the positive statement we use today...

Ched Myers wrote a book in the 80's called "Binding the Strong Man" which was a HUGE development in studying the Mark's gospel. I had to read this tome of a book for a class, and there is so much I want to talk about in it, but to start I just wanted to fill you all in on something called "hermeneutics."

Something I want to start doing is an extended conversation about some of the sermons I'm preaching at church.

So I'm gonna try to do some of that extra work here. Let me know if you want more episodes like this!
