When The Bible Feels Too Scary To Read To Your Kids Love & The Outcome Podcast

Welcome back to the podcast!  We took a break this summer after our house flooded, thinking we’d start it back up when we were back in, but alas we are still waiting…  
The good news is we have a lot to share from this displaced transition season, so we thought we’d embrace it with “Conversations in the Car with Chris and Jodi.”  A little series within the podcast where we literally press record and let you into our chats on the road, and edit nothing (sorry for the road noise)!  Jodi and I both just read “The Bible Tells Me So” by Peter Enns, and it’s helped us feel ok with our questions about the Bible.  Whether it be genocide in the Old Testament, and wrestling with the commandment, “thou shalt not kill,” while God seems to order the killing of women & children & entire people groups, or all the Levitical laws that don’t seem to apply anymore, there’s a lot that makes us uncomfortable.  It hit us while we were reading Bible stories to our kids, that there is a lot that is too R-rated for them to handle.  It left us with a lot of questions, and in case you are in the same boat, we wanted to give you permission to journey with us.  This episode provides more process and questions than answers, but there will be follow up episodes where we dig deeper into these questions.  Wanted to be honest about the where we’re at, so come along for the ride!
