Episode 96: "Respectfully, Shut Up"

In this episode, Jamie & Eric kick things off with Shooting the Skybalon, as Jamie shares a wild overseas story involving a one-legged man paying him mid-sermon. In The Bible Says What?!, they dig into two eyebrow-raising passages—Lot’s daughters and Paul’s instructions on head coverings. In Pester the Pastor, they tackle a practical question every preacher faces: how long should a sermon be, really? Finally, in Christian Conspiracies, they take on the claim that Jesus had a wife and sort out where the idea comes from—and why it doesn’t hold up. It’s strange, thoughtful, and unapologetically curious—welcome to Not the Sermon. 00:00:16 – Skybalon: One-legged man 00:10:26 – The Bible Says What?!: Lot’s daughters & head coverings 00:24:49 – Pester the Pastor: How long should a sermon be? 00:35:17 – Christian Conspiracies: Jesus’ wife
