Although our number scheme is based on unique episodes, today we're releasing our 50th episode in total! This episode is the second part of our biography of John the Baptist! Rick, Andy and Tiziana discuss at length John the Baptist's unique designation as Prophet and Priest. This further helps us to see why Jesus wanted John to baptize him in the Jordan to "fulfill all righteousness". It's a fascinating study of a man born "with the Holy Ghost from his mother's womb" who after preaching a loving message of repentance toward God warns of the "wrath to come" to the religious elite of his time even going all the way to King Herod and calling him out for his infidelity with his brother's wife. This act would ultimately put him in prison which caused him to send his disciples to inquire about Jesus's ministry and finally his violent death. Thanks for listening and supporting our podcast!
