Trying to focus on black voices and experiences this week. Wanted to just pop in and remind you all the the words we’re reading through right now have been used as weapons against POC for centuries. Also, if you made it through all of the New Testament and didn’t think Jesus would have been right alongside protesters....then wow. We read a very different book and I think you have some reflecting to do.
If you’re bummed out about the Coronavirus, check out these plagues! Gnats! Locusts! Boooooils!! It could be so much worse. Welcome to the book of Exodus, folks-don’t forget to wash your hands.
Bonus episode for your week! The lady doesn’t get burnt in this one.

About The Pocketbook
From the publisher's feed
The downmarket cheap paperback version of the books you know you should read but just...don’t...want to. We read the hard stuff so you don’t have to! Tune in to Season 1 to get the pocketbook edition of the Old Testament. Naked grandpas, pogo snakes-it’s all in there, so strap in and enjoy!
Updates Wednesdays. Not recommended for listeners who don’t like a little blasphemy with their Bible talk.
