    S3 Ep 14: #55 - Jeffrey Dahmer, the Worst King in the Bible, and the Problem With Grace

    This week on After Sunday we get into one of the wildest redemption stories in the Bible. Manasseh might be the worst king Judah ever had. Idolatry, child sacrifice, spiritual collapse. Total disaster. Then somehow he humbles himself and God restores him. So that raises a weird question. If God can restore that guy… what does that mean for people we think are beyond hope? We talk about the outrage when a Church of Christ preacher baptized Jeffrey Dahmer in prison, the parable of the workers in Matthew 20, and why grace actually offends our pride more than it comforts it. Turns out the gospel does not run on our sliding scale of good and bad.

    S3 Ep 13: #54 - 41 Kings and a Thousand Wives

    You ever notice how power almost always turns people weird? This week we’re in First and Second Kings. Forty-one kings. Most of them crash and burn. Solomon starts at the top, wisdom, wealth, influence, builds the temple… and still manages to spiral. A thousand wives later, the kingdom splits. Then you’ve got Ahab and Jezebel turning Israel into a spiritual dumpster fire. Elijah steps in. Mount Carmel showdown. Fire from heaven. It’s cinematic. And then Josiah. A kid who inherits a mess and decides obedience matters even when the outcome won’t change.

  3. S3 Ep 12: #53 - Tall, Handsome… Spiritually Hollow?

    FEB 23

    S3 Ep 12: #53 - Tall, Handsome… Spiritually Hollow?

    Saul is the guy you’d cast in a movie. He’s taller than everyone else. Strong. Commanding presence. If Israel had Instagram, he’d win. But leadership cracks under pressure. Goliath shows up and the king freezes. A teenager with a sling doesn’t. This episode dives into the psychology of Saul vs David. Why partial obedience is still disobedience. Why David’s worst sin didn’t disqualify him but Saul’s insecurity did. And how repentance is the dividing line between collapse and restoration.

    FEB 17

    S3 Ep 11: #52 - The Land Deal That Changed the World

    Ruth is a Moabite. An outsider. No leverage. No status. And she becomes the great-grandmother of David… which means she’s in the lineage of Jesus. We talk about loyalty without upside, why Naomi’s bitterness isn’t the end of the story, and how God builds His kingdom through people culture overlooks.

    FEB 11

    S3 Ep 10: #51 - The Cycle

    Sin. Oppression. Cry out. Rescue. Repeat. Judges reads like a loop...and we’re not as different as we think.

  6. S3 Ep 9: #50 - Joshua, Jericho, and Doing What God Says Anyway

    FEB 2

    S3 Ep 9: #50 - Joshua, Jericho, and Doing What God Says Anyway

    Marching around a city probably felt ridiculous. Until it worked. Elissa and Emily walk through Joshua and why obedience matters even when you don’t fully understand the plan. They talk leadership changes, broken promises in real life, and why God’s faithfulness doesn’t waver just because we do.

  7. S3 Ep 8: #49 - Don’t Waste the Middle

    JAN 26

    S3 Ep 8: #49 - Don’t Waste the Middle

    Birth. Death. And everything in between. This episode centers on the part we usually rush through. Elissa and Emily explore Numbers and Deuteronomy, the wilderness years, unfinished people, and why God’s guidance shows up most clearly when life feels boring, messy, or uncertain. Plus: a challenge to stop giving your best years to screens and start living on purpose.

  8. S3 Ep 7: #48 - The Most Confusing Book in the Bible

    JAN 20

    S3 Ep 7: #48 - The Most Confusing Book in the Bible

    Nobody circles Leviticus on the calendar. But once you slow it down, it actually says a lot about worship, holiness, and why Jesus changes everything. Emily and Elissa walk through the chaos, the rules, and the meaning behind it all.
