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 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.
