This Is Not a Weapon: A Bible Study Podcast

Divorce and wealth are top of mind as Dan and Justin dive into Jesus' teachings on the same topics. Bonus: One mom goes the extra mile to make sure her sons are set for the afterlife.

This episode, Dan and Justin discuss the complexity of the Transfiguration, who would make the best voice of God in a movie, and that whole "when two or more are gathered in my name" adage. Also, Jesus withdraws his money from a fish.

As we bid adieu to John the Baptist and explore Jesus' miracles, Dan and Justin discuss belief in miraculous acts, doubt, and the impossible pressure of dancing for a prophet's head.

It's Parable season! As we approach Jesus' famed metaphors, Dan and Justin discuss how effective these illustrations are, why Jesus used metaphors, and whether or not metaphors work for lazy readers.

As word of his works spreads, Jesus isn't too happy with how the church is responding. Dan and Justin get into Jesus's ego, the definition of blasphemy, and how churches have misconstrued the intent of these verses.

The story of Jesus's miracles are some of the best known in the Bible. Dan and Justin discuss why they're included, how they're organized, and whether Jesus really needed to send demons into pigs.

This week, we head to the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus plays the greatest hits. Dan and Justin discuss the direct quotations of Jesus and how the Beatitudes are often misinterpreted.

Dan and Justin open the podcast with a brief overview of the New Testament, why we don't know much about Teen Jesus, and what Jesus was up to for those forty days in the desert.

Join Dan and Justin as they use history, etymology, and humor to make sense of the world's most popular book--the Bible. New episodes every Monday.
