Matthew  9: 9-13, 18-26 - Wow!  What a story!  But do we understand what is really going on?  We're given the key...  "Go and learn (figure out) what this means: I desire mercy, not sacrifice."  Let's figure it out together.

It's almost Halloween.  Whose up for some scary stories?  Tim and Troy aren't exactly experts in horror - but we have a friend who is.  We welcome to the podcast author Jacob Moses to help us better understand, and maybe even better appreciate the genre of horror as a method of story telling.  What truths are conveyed and why does there always seems to be an unrelenting villain who keeps coming back again and again?  There's Truth in it!

Put on your headphones and grab a peanut butter and banana sandwich.  Tim and Troy talk today about the new film Elvis by Bas Luhrmann, revival, and some amazing parallels between Elvis and the biblical story of Samson.  Each teaches us something about the other.  Without a doubt, God chooses to work with some pretty interesting and flawed characters.
