CT 196 Why We Shouldn’t Skip Leviticus

Justin Ebert sits down with Ryan Vincent and Drew Moss for a wide-ranging conversation based on Leviticus 1-15 and Mark 1-2. They discuss if and how the ancient laws still matter for Christian readers today. Together they explore overlooked details and surprising connections: clean and unclean, sin and holiness, blood and fat, animals and childbirth laws—and what all of it reveals about God’s view of life, worship, and atonement. The discussion then shifts into Mark’s fast-paced Gospel: why everything feels so urgent, why Jesus silences demons and healed people, how Mark 1 echoes Leviticus 13–14, and what Jesus is saying when he heals with a touch and sends a man to the priests. The episode closes by unpacking Jesus’ images of patchwork cloth and wineskins—and why fasting doesn’t fit when the Bridegroom is present. A conversation about depth, beauty, and the surprising unity of Scripture.
