Jonah, a heroic fish and a story with no villain.
Release Date: 2/11/2023
Duration: 288720 Mins
Authors: Josh Franklin
Description: In this episode Samuel French and I explore the story of Jonah. We chew on the possibility of it being a parable designed to reveal a deeper wisdom about ourselves, our relationship to each other and God. This is my favorite book in the Old Testament with the most radical and progressive message concerning the universality of God's love and grace. I highly recommend reading "Jonah for Normal People" by Jared Byas if you're interested in exploring this innovative piece of ancient literature further.

The Empire Employee of the Month
Release Date: 12/12/2021
Duration: 199380 Mins
Authors: Josh Franklin
Description: In this episode I explore the interaction between Jesus and the Roman Centurion with my good friend Samuel French. Samuel has a unique perspective when it comes to the Bible and doesn't allow boxed thinking to limit his views. He's also a lot of fun to chat with! Why does Jesus praise the faith of this Empire employee? Why is this story here? Jesus doesn't ever seem to let us decide who is in and who is out. He always makes space for the nuance of being human.

Emperors are Temporary but Wu-tang is Forever
Release Date: 11/21/2021
Duration: 117300 Mins
Authors: Josh Franklin
Description: In this episode I explore why Jesus told the Pharisees to "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's." with my good friend Nathan Elliott. Nathan is a ravenous researcher and always finds a new angle from which to view the bible. Jesus somehow manages to provide a politically correct answer while at the same time being subversively seditious towards the political and religious power structures of the day. There are many ways to interpret this exchange but at a minimum perhaps Jesus asserts that we can interact with the system of the world without forgoing our ultimate allegiance to the system of the Creator.

Mastering the Art of Doubt
Release Date: 6/27/2021
Duration: 93720 Mins
Authors: Josh Franklin
Description: In this episode I explore doubt in the story of Thomas and Jesus in the Gospel of John. Doubt in church and society is often assumed to be coming from a negative space while certainty is usually viewed positively. Perhaps that’s not always correct and doubt can actually be a tool or even an art to master as we learn to navigate the middle space of life.

The Exiled Father
Release Date: 4/4/2021
Authors: Jonathan Pillet
Description: I am a father, in my opinion, the most important aspect of being a man. Like many men however, after my divorce, my role as a father was slowly eroded to the point that my children hardly know me. This is a podcast for my children, so they will come to understand who I am, to give me an opportunity to share some wisdom with them, and to let them know that they are important to me. I am far from a perfect person, I have many flaws. Despite this, I feel it’s important for my children to know that I love them. Perhaps this podcast helps them. Perhaps it helps you.
