Paul'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. It feels like we're prepping for SAT while listening to an insufferable windbag talk to other believers. It's cool, it's fine.
Read MoreRev. Jeremy L. Williams, P.H.D., Assistant Professor of New Testament at Brite Divinity School, is joining us this week to quiz us on and discuss the untold wild stories of Acts.
Read MorePaul, now a long-term VIP prisoner, is conscious of being void of offense when buttering up the governor. Perhaps he is reveling in following the same path of persecution as Jesus. As the courtroom drama drags on, he demands to have his case heard by Caesar.
Read MoreA very chatty Paul is joined by his fellowship as he travels, rerouting his plans due to plots against him. After boring a boy to what appeared to be death, Paul cuddles him back to life. Everyone weeps, a lot - and recruiting for the cult continues. After arriving in Jerusalem, he is ridiculed for encouraging new Christians to go light on Moses, and ends up in prison once again.
Read MoreExplore the impact of literature and fiction on Christian beliefs with us and then stick around for the circumcision of Timothy, the arrest and freeing of Paul and Silas, and find out which two women are named in this week's reading! 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.
Read MoreAfter canoodling with soldiers, Peter is freed from prison by an angel, followed by Herod being wormed to death. New items are added to the Archipelago Sandwich Pub menu, and Dr. Know It All (a wizard) is said to be as crooked as a corkscrew.
Read MorePeter is besieged by timely hallucinations, including one containing the God Helicopter, that allow the apostles to change recruitment rules for the cult. Dirty birds prove tempting, and the followers of Christ begin to call themselves Christians.
Read MoreThe disciples' reunion quickly evolves into the founding of a cult, led in part by Darth Peter, who reverts to some Old School Yahweh tactics to manage liars. An angelic prison break and another census, this time led by the Romans, ensue.
Read MoreAfter a year of reading the Gospels, we're still wondering which disciple was actually Jesus' favorite? The book of John continues to enlighten us with more details, lessons, and commandments.
Read MoreThe Book of John (not that John) jumps right into the action with new origin stories, Jesus' first public miracle, and the redemption of garbage grapes. Culty communes are formed, and a big budget revival begins.
Read MoreThe end of Luke has finally arrived, so it's to find out what we remember about neighbors, loaves of bread, and parables.
Read MoreOur hearts and minds are enraptured by the twists and embellishments upon old stories in today's reading. Jesus goes camping, swords are procured, and it turns out the Holy Grail might have actually been a bong!

Read MoreA skill-less manager goes from being unable to dig to being an oil and wheat tycoon. Meanwhile, Jesus confuses the disciples and us. Is it time for him to take a break?
Read MoreThis week's chapters are full of riddles on riddles, lessons, and unfamiliar content. Tyndale's use of middle English sends us to the search engines, while Jesus fan fiction and the best way to negotiate for canaries is discussed.
Read MoreThe disciples receive a fraction of Jesus' power, learn to navigate the world without their wallets, and witness the wonder of food multiplication. Jesus comes up with some genius marketing and puzzles the crowds with a son & father riddle.
Read MoreLord of the Sabbath, enraging healer, and bad capitalist, is on his way to being our favorite Jesus yet.
Read MoreThe lessons we've heard before hit a bit differently this week as Jesus takes his holiness to the next level. Broken nets and almost sunk boats lead to one of the largest catches of the disciples' lives.
