Episodes

  1. Ep. 82-Guardian Angels or Ghosts of Victorian Children-Matthew 18.10-15

    We continue to work through the Book of Matthew where Jesus tlaks about His group of people called the "ekklesia," and has words of warning for those that try and trip others up within this group.

  2. Ep. 81- Jesus and Conan the Barbarian's Millstone -Matthew 18.6-9

    Jesus warns against people pulling people in the wrong direction, so He gives them a head's up on His extreme distaste for pointing people the wrong way.

  3. Ep. 80 - Jesus Talks Children, Chris Explains Jacob's Ladder Piercings - Matthew 18.1-5

    More drinking and talking about Jesus! Join us for more fun, including Chris explaining genital piercing.

    Ep. 79 - Jesus and Religious Taxation - Matthew 17.22-27 by Beer and Bible

  5. Non-Episode-Buy Chris a Beer: "What does 'Go forth and multiply' mean?"

    Coming straight from another co-questioner, Does the Bible really mean to have as many kids as humanly possible?!?! Jump in, learn about babies, snakes, and curses.

    Ep. 76 - The First Pope (read:Peter) tempts Jesus - Matt 16.21-28 by Beer and Bible

  9. Non-Episode - Chris and Neil's Love of Mormon Missionaries

    Ep. 75 - The First Pope and the Loosening - Matthew 16.13-20 by Beer and Bible

  11. Ep. 74 - The Yeasty Boys - Matthew 16.5-12

    Oh man - Beware of the Yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees! that makes about as much sense to you as it did the Jesus followers back in the day. Check out Neil just reminding us what happened before and Chris's drunken commentary.

  12. Ep. 73 - The Bipartisan Demand for Proof and Whales - Matthew 16.1 - 4

    Ep. 73 - The Bipartisan Demand for Proof and Whales - Matthew 16.1 - 4 by Beer and Bible

  13. Non-Episode-Jesus the Human (or Chris and Neil Crank Up The Blasphemy)-Tangent Night

    What starts out as Chris's inebriated question devolves into multiple thoughts that are not suitable for a Sunday morning church service. Enjoy our thoughts and reflection.

  14. Ep. 72 - Lunch with Jesus In 4K - Matthew 15.29 - 39

    Ep. 72 - Lunch with Jesus In 4K - Matthew 15.29 - 39 by Beer and Bible

    Buy Chris A Beer - What do you think heaven will be like? by Beer and Bible

  18. Ep. 69- -Matthew 14.22-36

    Ep. 69- -Matthew 14.22-36 by Beer and Bible

  19. Ep. 68-Jesus Rallies an Army with Salted Fish and Toast -Matthew 14.13 - 21

    Take a step out of church (or keep avoiding it), and let's read this story with a different spin - Jesus feed 5,000 "powerless" people and we discuss a different path Jesus could have taken in become a religious/politcal figure in the first century Roman Empire. As always, you'll learn a little,...

  20. Ep. 67- The Herods, a pre-teen dance routine, and a beheading - Matthew 14.1-12

    Well, this is an interesting story, but it gets dark. Apologies in advance. This does not have a good ending.

  21. Buy Chris A Beer 1 - Chris And Neil Retell Bible Stories

    Alright trying something new this year with a practice for answering questions, completely un-researched, but you get raw thoughts from Chris and Neil. the first question comes from our Co-Questioner Cynthia, asking us to retell our favorite Bible stories.

  22. Christmas 2023 Part 2 - God Messes Around, Joseph Finds Out -Matthew 1.18-25

    Last time we focused on Mary, now we're looking at what Joseph's options in the story. . . Let's face it, in this story, God put them in a REALLY difficult situation.

  23. Christmas 2023 Part 1- A Legal Case for Stoning Jesus's Mom - Deuteronomy 22.22-24

    According to the Torah (the first five books of the Jewish Tanakh and the Christian Bible), If a woman is engaged to man and has sex with another man prior to the wedding, both the man and woman should be put to death. This makes things a bit tricky considering God came up with the plan of having...

  24. Ep. 66 Jesus the Mason and Neil Avoids A Hate Crime - Matthew 13.53-58

    Ep. 66 Jesus the Mason and Neil Avoids A Hate Crime - Matthew 13.53-58 by Beer and Bible

  26. Ep. 64- Parables on Mustard and Sourdough set to Minivan Rock- Matthew 13.31-42

    Ep. 64- Parables on Mustard and Sourdough set to Minivan Rock- Matthew 13.31-42 by Beer and Bible

  27. Ep. 63 - Parable of the Wheat and Psychoactive Fungus Weed - Matthew 13.24 - 30

    This time we get into the WEEDS a bit. ahahaha. ugh . . .anyways, we cover another one of the parables in Matthew and chat it up about this weird passage, and continuously get off track and talk about Satan.

  28. Ep. 62 - More Palestinian Farming With Less Answers - Matthew 13.10 - 23

    Sometimes we wonder how much you'll get out of this when we probably provide more questions than answers. . . BUT, maybe you will find a few entertaining stories, such as Chris talking about his son reading through the book of Revelation.

  29. Ep. 61 - Seed Sown and Keeping Robert Frost Out of Your Bible Study - Matthew 13.1 - 9

    This time we are introducing the "parables" - a section of teaching in Matthew where Jesus gives short stories/allegories for his audience to drive home a concept.

  30. Ep. 60 - Jesus, a Racist Prophet, and an African Queen - Matthew 12.38-50

    Ep. 60 - Jesus, a Racist Prophet, and an African Queen - Matthew 12.38-50 by Beer and Bible

    Ep. 59 - Jesus the Egyptian Sorcerer and the Unforgivable Sin - Matthew 12.22 by Beer and Bible

  32. Non - Episode - How To Read The Bible (If Your Dumb)

    Chris and Neil give their tips on how to read the Bible if you are curious, but not really into this religion. There's a lot out there on how to read the bible as a Christian, but not much out there on how to read an ancient text for fun/education.

  33. Christmas Special 2022 - Part 2 - Herod: When Killing toddlers isn't the worst thing you've done.

    Christmas Special 2022 - Part 2 - Herod: When Killing toddlers isn't the worst thing you've done. by Beer and Bible

  34. Christmas Special 2022 - Part 1: Faith Like Herod

    Okay, WAAAAAYYY late, but we thought this one was worth getting into and learning about. Join Chris on an alcohol soaked adventure through the history of KING HEROD. King Herod? Part of the Christmas story is the king over Judea at the time that tried MURDERING TODDLERS. Some how soldiers...

  35. Ep. 58 - Jesus Heals on the Sabbath like David Blaine Does Magic - Matthew 12.10-21

    Another episode of interest. We continue in the Gospel of Matthew with another story of Jesus messing with the Pharisees' expectation of proper Sabbath behavior, but this time instead of it being about eating and harvesting, it's about whether or not it's okay to do "good" on the Sabbath.

  36. Ep. 57 - Chris Teaches About Demons and/or Goats in the Tanakh

    This is wild; Neil is in the passenger seat as Chris takes the wheel and teaches us about his own research into Demons in the Tanakh, or what many Christians call "the Old Testament." it's a wild ride that gets pretty crazy, but we hope you enjoy. If you were looking for a stronger more Jewish...

  37. Ep. 56 - Sabbath Exemptions and Ordained Herpatology -Matthew 12:1-9

    Oh man, this is going to sound like a repeat of Episode 2, but it is in a different universe/timeline or whatever (think Sony vs. Disney Spiderman movies . . . Or Michael Keaton vs. Christian Bale Batman movies). this time we focus more on the Rabbinic discussions and exemptions on the Sabbath…

    more

  38. Ep. 55 - Woes and Fitting Yokes - Matthew 11.20-30

    Ep. 55 - Woes and Fitting Yokes - Matthew 11.20-30 by Beer and Bible

  39. Ep. 54 - A violent kingdom and taunting children - Matthew 11.11-19

    Here we go; after a long break waiting for my computer to get fixed, we have the latest (maybe not greatest) episode of Beer and Bible. This picks up from last episode and we highly recommend listening to that before getting into this episode. Originally this was supposed to be a fairly short...

  40. Ep. 53 - Visitation Hours for Doubting Prophets - Matthew 11.1-10

    It's been a hot minute since we last saw John the Baptizer. . .We've just sent the disciples out to the people, so Jesus stays up North and gets word from John's crew asking him if he (Jesus) is the real deal, or if they are looking for another revolutionary. And Jesus, (as is his way), gives a...

  41. Ep. 52- The Going Price for Sparrows and Hating Your Family - Matthew 10.24-42

    Here we get Jesus describing the persecution ,and we talk a little bit about the crucifixion practices and Nero's musical career.

  42. Ep. 51 - Anachronistic Persecution and the Morty's Death Crystal - Matthew 10.16-23

    What happens when the Bible isn't exactly accurate? We continue talking about the "Apostles" and how this section isn't 100% in order/correct in how Western people of the 21st century expect.

  43. Ep. 50 - Recommended Apostolic behavior and what to do if they piss on your house - Matthew 10.7-15

    This has the most click-bait opening of our podcasts so far. Enjopy.

  44. Christmas Special 2021 - Luke 1.26-38

    If there was ever an episode where we lose a few listeners, this is it. It's wild, and it covers the immaculate conception.

  45. Ep. 49 - The Apolstles Part 3: Jim, Tad, and the Two Worst Disciples - Matthew 10.3-6

    We wrap up the story of the disciples and talk a bit abut what they've been commissioned to do. Some of this is based in strong evidence and tradition, while the rest is adventurous speculation steeped in an IPA.

  46. Ep. 48 - Apostles Part 2: Thunder Sons, Jesus's Twin, and the Horse Lover- Matthew 10.2 (Part 2)

    We continue talking about the apostles some more. We really try and give a sense of what these guys are like, which isn't quite what Sunday school or Youth group gives. Just guys in their 20's following a charismatic leader. No matter how I say this, it always seems like a cult. Which, I guess it...

  47. Ep. 47 - Jesus sends out all the Apostles except Robert Duvall - Matthew 10.1-2

    Ever wondered what the word "Apostle" means? Is that some weird church word? We look into Jesus sending out HIS "apostles" where the word came from, and the first two apostles. We bring in some pop culture, getting music suggestions from Chris, talking about Ghostbusters, and Robert Duvall's 1997...

  48. Ep. 46 - A Harvest of Humans and Neil's promise to take Chris to a faith healer- Mattew 9.32-38

    Here we go - this time we are closing out this section of Matthew (chapters 8-9) and rounding everything out, and more of Chris's drunken commentary.

  49. Ep. 45 - Touchy-Feely Jesus, Eye Demons, and Wookie Linguistics - Matthew 9.27-31

    Here we go - you'll get a little bit of Chris's great parenting. Enjoy the weirdness as we talk about Jesus healing some blind people.

  50. Non-Episode - Alpaca Farming and Vagabonding - A life update

    An update from the hosts. Over the summer we tried recording, but the episodes recorded (all on Matthew) did not record correctly and were not something we could salvage. If you are wanting more bible, I would recommend skipping this episode. . . .But if you want to know about what we're up to,...
