This is probably one of the best known stories about Abraham.

It's still no laughing matter. But along the way we discover an important question. Does God change His mind because we ask Him or was His plan to change the plan when we encounter the plan?

This is no laughing matter. Babies happen guys.

It's really important to look at humans in the Bible, not through the lens of "Black hat" and "White hat" but as people. The "protagonists" in the stories are hardly virtuous in perpetuity, and the "antagonists" are not without redeemable realities.

Concluding the lesson with students about how to read the Bible, we also discuss how to prepare a space emotionally, mentally, and audibly for the best possible chance to approach Scripture and, even then, be content that some answers will not be immediate in satisfactory answers.

We're kicking off the new year with Andy and Damien taking the show on the road in front of actual people. Youth people, to be exact. In part 1 we will talk about a 3 step approach to studying the Bible and preparing the mind for a fuller experience.

The guys take a longer episode to parse the differences between local peoples and their flood myths and the flood as experienced by Noah and what it says about the God of Noah contrasted with other deities who resort to lots of water.
