Today's episode is an audio version of this week's podcast and we're talking about the time the Pharisees and Religious Leaders accused Jesus of casting out demons by the power of Satan. Jesus turned their accusation on its head and then gave some profound insight into what He REALLY came to here to do - profound insight that might very well change EVERYTHING for you.

Today's episode is an audio version of this week's blog post where we explore the story of the 4 guys who were trying to get their paralytic friend to Jesus. The house Jesus was in was packed and so rather than push their way through the people, they dug a hole in the roof and lowered him in. The story is cool, but what's crazy is the way that Jesus made Swiss Cheese out of the theology of the people who were gathered there that day. And what's even crazier is how He's doing the same thing, today.

In this episode I sat down with pastor, professor, and LGBTQ rights activist Dr. Phil Snider to talk about how to read some of the verses that the church typically uses to push away and/or condemn the LGBTQ community through a more progressive, welcoming, and affirming lens.

This Fall we're blogging our way through the Gospel of Mark with a few pitstops along the way. Today's episode is an audio version of this week's post where we set the context of the book as being written to the Jewish Christians who were the targets of Emperor Nero after he blamed them for starting the fire that leveled the city. With that context in mind, Mark's presentation of "the Gospel" means something much greater and much more important than what we might typically hear in church on Sunday's. You can listen to it here or read all about it at whatifproject.net.
