Liz and Billy say "thank you and goodbye (at least for now)" to all the sinners out there. Thanks for your questions, comments, and all the rude remarks. We're grateful to have shared some of our favorite (and least favorite) Bible stories with you all over the past five seasons.

As always, all the love to Charlie Kluttz for writing our theme song and musical transitions. You made the show so much fun, Charlie. Reach out to Charlie for all your music production needs.

Genesis 19-21 is a wild ride with way too much to cover in one brief episode. Sodom and Gomorrah are destroyed. Lot’s wife is turned to stone. Abraham keeps trying to trick people into thinking that his wife is his sister and for some reason it’s the ultimate con.

Billy and Liz read the OG passage that brought them together through the power of Biblical Storytelling. We talk about Abraham, the covenant, and lots of circumcisions.

Billy and Liz discuss the beginning of the matriarchs and patriarchs— that’s right, it’s finally time to talk about all these people we vaguely remember but can’t place in the family tree…. I think there’s someone named Joseph at some point?

God makes a covenant with Abram (later to be renamed Abraham) and God choice of Abram is not meritocratic. Abram is just as ridiculous as the rest of us… as we’ll find out in this crazy adventure through the rest of Genesis.

First of all, diversity is not a punishment. It’s a little too easy to read this story in a typical English language Bible and walk away with any other impression. Billy and Liz unpack a more helpful interpretation of the Tower of Babel story.

We finish up with a summary of the primordial history of Genesis 1-11 before pivoting in a few weeks to the family history of Genesis 12-50.

We’ll be off for a few weeks, but we’re excited to hit your podcast feed again with Genesis 12-50!

Billy and Liz talk about that beloved children’s story Noah’s Ark. You know, the one where everyone dies. Classic children’s story.

But there ARE lots of cute animals!

Liz returns to the question of incest as the whole of humanity is reduced to a tiny remnant of Noah and his family, and Billy is continually uninterested in this question.

We close out our conversation thinking about violence and come to the conclusion that even God decides that they can’t resort to violence to try to fix the problems of the world.

Billy and Liz start this episode off with an error on the Bible. Cain and Abel are the sons of Adam and Eve, not the brothers of Adam and Eve. The rest of the episode, I’m sure, you all will find completely error free.

We continue the conversation with a little suspicion of the heterosexual family, since literally this first family commits murder; and finish up with a conversation about how God chooses to elevate those who have nothing.

It’s another Creation Story & THE FALL (you must say “the fall” in a very spooky voice).

While in Genesis 1 we get a zoomed out Creation story, here we get much more intimate in the garden of Eden (which maybe all women still have the keys to?). Adam and Eve are together and happy, until that pesky snake comes by and ruins it all. Sexism and homophobia (but NOT marriage) enter the story nice and early at end of our conversation.

Billy and Liz start from the very beginning, because as Julie Andrews teaches, it’s a very good place to start. We’re taking things aaaaall the way back to the Book of Genesis for our fifth season of the TLDR Bible Show.

In Genesis 1:1-2:4a, we learn about a first creation story where God orders the formless void and fills the world with all manner of creatures. There are very few women, but that’s okay, because that means that sexism and homophobia haven’t entered the story at this point. Hooray!

We take it back to the very beginning this season. We're unpacking Genesis 1-11: The Primordial History in our first five episodes of this season. We'll touch on some of the most famous stories in the Bible: Creation, Adam and Eve, the first murder, Noah's Ark, and the Tower of Babel (spoiler alert: diversity is not a punishment!). 

New episodes will drop on Mondays for the next five weeks. See you later, sinners!
