Something happened to Stephen a couple months ago. Or rather, almost happened. It had such an impact on him that he needed to make a voice memo about it in the moments immediately after, just to share on the podcast today. (As they say, anything for that sweet sweet content.) This event has caused Stephen to ponder the role of God's protection, God's plan, and the doctrine of predestination, because it felt like the fates saved Stephen's life.

The words we use mean things and our choice of them matters. Today, Josh asks us to tackle the meaning of "purity" as it is used its Scriptural contexts and how it has been twisted and weaponized to control the bodies of people who grew up inside of "Purity Culture." Josh wants a rebrand campaign to call it "Disgust Culture" instead. Emily is rightly tired of listening to more men talking about her body. And Stephen shares the story of when his purity ring shattered.

Happy Friday Ravelers! Do we have a show for you! For this month's Patreon exclusive bonus episode, we watched and reviewed The Finger of God Documentary and WE. HAVE. THOUGHTS. This film was what inspired Josh to go to ministry school back in the day and it also happened to inspire a rather visceral response from both Stephen and Emily in the watching.

Our first listener submitted topic comes to us from Twitter, wondering if the historicity of the Fall has bearing on the historicity of Jesus' life and atoning work. So we rehash a bit of classical atonement theology as we try to get to the root of what the Fall is/was and what meaning the story gives us.

We never thought we'd see this day. A day where we feel spirit-led to offer our first public apology. Stephen is humbly seeking reconciliation at this time with those he has wronged, so we thank you for respecting his family's privacy at this time.

Oh and we have a conversation about miracles. What they are, who they're for, and how we should interpret them.

We're in the midst of the New Years Resolution, so while we're in the mood and mode of meta-cognition, let's talk about the incarnation! What was Jesus' experience of meta-cognition? Did he always know he was divine or did he realize it at some point along the way?

Depending on which way you look at it... absolutely nothing or vital to ushering in change. The question arises early in the discussion, "against what or whom?", because we can think of a few examples where rebellion was the right thing to do. We wonder aloud if Jesus himself was rebellious and, of course, attempt a little self-reflection to see if Ravel itself is an act of rebellion.
