    Matthew 22-23: Woe is Me? Woe is You!

    Dan and Justin dive back into the parables this week as Jesus tries to explain to the error of their ways to the Pharisees and Sadducees. It's a lot of taxes, a lot of trickery, and at least one Kimmy Schmidt reference.

    Matthew 21: You've Got a Frond in Me

    Jesus heads back into town for the beginning of Holy Week, and Justin and Dan discuss the Southern lore of the dogwood tree, the history of palm fronds, and the infamous table flip heard 'round the Bible.

    Matthew 17-18: The Bank of Big Mouth Billy Bass

    Matthew 14-16: Here's Your One Chance Salome, Don't Let Me Down

    Matthew 13: The Jesus Christ Variety Hour, Starring Wheat

    It's Parable season! As we approach Jesus' famed metaphors, Dan and Justin discuss how effective these illustrations are, why Jesus used metaphors, and whether or not metaphors work for lazy readers.

    Matthew 11-12: Jesus Gets Mad at Church (And So Can You!)

    As word of his works spreads, Jesus isn't too happy with how the church is responding. Dan and Justin get into Jesus's ego, the definition of blasphemy, and how churches have misconstrued the intent of these verses.

    This week, we head to the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus plays the greatest hits. Dan and Justin discuss the direct quotations of Jesus and how the Beatitudes are often misinterpreted.

    Matthew 1-4: New Skywalker, Who This?

    Dan and Justin open the podcast with a brief overview of the New Testament, why we don't know much about Teen Jesus, and what Jesus was up to for those forty days in the desert.
