Brandon and Brandon have only their breath to share with you, exploring the beginning of Jesus' big "Sermon on the Mount." They touch on:

• What bigger patterns become evident in some of these translation decisions? Does it change what we understand Matthew 5-7 to be about?
• Hints of Deuteronomy 28 and Leviticus 25 in the beatitudes,
• What about "the poor in spirit"?
• #Blessed vs gratified,
• reject force vs meek, and
• hell!

Brandon and Brandon are tempted by many questions and creative ways of more faithfully and legibly telling the stories of Jesus' 40 day hike, including:

• What are the political implications of the False Accuser pressing for Jesus to submit to him, not worship him?
• What's the relationship between the Hebrew Testament and Jesus' life?
• What the hell is demon possession and can we do better?
