Galatians continues with Paul encouraging us to remember our petty bondage days while changing his stance on circumcision. Pregnancy metaphors are back (so make sure to have a drink handy) and orgies are specifically ruled unacceptable.
Read MoreThe epistle to the Galatians sheds light on Paul's backstory and speculates about the story of Abraham. Paul continues to dunk on Judaism while trying to connect the dots to Christianity.
Read MoreIn the final letter to the Church of Corinth, it proves that Paul isn't rubber and the congregation isn't glue. Rumors, insults, hurt feelings, and godly jealousy are abundant. Meanwhile, we're trying to figure out what really happened because the vibes of these chapters are more weird than tears.
Read MoreThe originator of hot takes continues his letter to the church at Corinth with prose befitting a first-year English major by throwing spaghetti against the wall and espousing the need for waterproof tents during hard, tough, and bad times. Our planned business ventures grow with the addition of Coins for Christ as we read the prosperity gospel and prepare for upcoming "mean-andring".
Read More2 Corinthians starts off with a confusing amount of comfort, which is made slightly more clear by Eugene, and then Paul starts walking back parts of previous messages. We discover an idea for the ultimate recommendation letter and Christ-scented deodorant, and discuss the transitive properties of glory.
Read MoreUncertain trumpets, the hierarchy of spiritual gifts, misogynistic interpretations, and the recollection of auditorial combat await you in the final chapters of 1 Corinthians. Lessons learned today include the mandate to have the malice of babies, be decent and in order, and that it was Paul all along.-

Read MorePaul's letter to the church in Corinth continues with explorations of our true identity, the origins of cancel culture, the transitive properties of prostitution.

Read MoreRoman's nears its end with us theorizing about Paul's love interest and wondering how many of his letters the recipients understood. Hopefully, they picked up on Paul's message about respecting the dietary choices of others and glorifying God with food.
Read MorePaul's blog post continues with a call back to Abraham, the father of circumcision, and teachings that have been adopted (and perhaps perverted) by the modern church. After a brief trip to Graceland, we return to the topic of real tools and Jase's upcoming class, The Fleshy Member - see you there!
Read MorePaul is on assignment, writing letters (or are they epistles) to the baby Christians of the day. Encouraging them to find another hole and to be a Jew on the inside too.

Read MorePaul sets up shop with tent-makers, Priscilla and Aquila, for a bit before renewing head-shaving vows and traveling again. The apostles are growing their ranks MLM style (we could be making things up), and at some point books are burned, and clothes come off.

Plus, find out which conversations we wish we were a fly on the wall for and how to get out of hell.
Read MoreOur chapters this week start out with the classic blaming of the Jews, followed by the healing of impotent feet and the stoning of Highlander Paul. Meanwhile, the Apostles are fighting among themselves while spreading the news about low-calorie Judaism.
