March 07, 2021Herodias
When looking at strong women in the Bible, everyone tends to think that they are a Ruth, but sometimes when we take a hard look in the mirror, we see that we might actually be more of a Herodias. Find out why in this episode as we look at the New Testament villain Herodias who has the power of privilege. Join us as we explore what happens when you fall victim to the no take-backs rule. (Spoiler alert, you just might end up with your head on a platter…)

February 07, 2021Athaliah
We’re venturing into the dark and wicked world of ancient royal politics. When Athaliah receives word that her son, the king, has been killed, she does what anyone would do and ascends the throne by murdering her entire family. Or so she thinks. This story twists and turns through secret hideaways, flash mob coronations, and surprise horses. Wickedness is everywhere, but can the line of David prevail?

Daniel might end up in the lions' den, but everyone soon finds out that those cats aren’t the only ones with 9 lives.
