Episode 227: Mint Chocolate Ice Cream and Goober Grape Theology

What do an Appalachian Trail app, a Boom Boom nasal stick, homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream, and Goober Grape have in common? Somehow, they all lead to a conversation about the death and resurrection of Jesus—which sounds about right for Chasing the Rabbit.With Jeremy away on jury duty, Brooks, Jason, Eric, and a nearly voiceless Adam discuss trail names, homemade ice cream, back-to-school routines, Savannah Arts Academy’s Senior Walk, and the sixth graders moving into “big church.” They also settle the important theological question of whether saved people premix their peanut butter and jelly.Then the conversation turns to Jesus’ death and resurrection and the remarkable ways the whole story of Scripture comes together at the cross. The guys explore the Four Cups of Passover, the sour wine offered to Jesus on hyssop, Psalm 22, the necessity of the resurrection, and how the story of Ruth and the kinsman-redeemer points us directly to Jesus.They also celebrate a growing ministry at Summer Breeze assisted living and preview the upcoming Summer Throwback Night of Worship—complete with throwback songs, prayer for the new school year, and homemade ice cream because, apparently, the deacons made a decision.Come for the mint chip. Stay for the Goober Grape theology.
