Nothing serious. I just feeling a little blah. I’ll get back to making new podcasts soon.

In this episode, I consider the further evidence that despite Gideon’s verbal refusal to rule over Israel he acts like a king and priest. Moreover, he begins to take on the behaviours of tyrant like the Sons of God in Genesis.

In this episode, I consider another way translators have unnecessarily sanitized the text. Why use the word uncircumcised rather than foreskinned as it is in the Greek? I continue to note the emphasis on the Holy Spirit and God’s vision of the Kingdom in the New Covenant.

In this episode, I consider some ambiguities and subtle hints that may be further indications of character flaws in Gideon.

In this episode, I consider evidence for Peter’s humility as an early Christian leader and the inclusion of the Gentiles as evidenced by their receiving the Holy Spirit.

In this episode, I reflect on the significance of idolatry in biblical theology and the questionable practice of imitating Gideon’s “laying out a fleece” to test God.

In this reflection, I consider Saul/Paul’s Damascus Road experience.

In this episode, the Song of Deborah provides an opportunity to discuss the nature of Hebrew Poetry and reminded me of how significant poetry was in my life.

In this episode, in response to the early persecution of the church, I consider recent claims of persecution by North American evangelicals in response to Covid restrictions.

In this episode, I discuss Princess Leia and Judge Deborah.
