St. Augustine of Hippo is one of our arch nemeses. Why, you ask? Because he's to blame for a lot of our cultural shame around sex, sexuality, and homosexuality in specific. This week we re-launch one of our favorite ever Pride Month episodes, because the most annoying part is... he COULD have been a bisexual hero! Happy Pride Month, y'all!

What happens when you combine a drinking game, a Bible, and two nonsense people? Lily and Angela turn the Book of Proverbs into the drinking game "Kings"... with some Bible-ish twists!

We're revisiting Jonah's eventful fishing trip in Nineveh, but we also share some of the MOST exciting news for our Bibleish fam! In case you forgot, though... Jonah wins a mandatory trip to Cleveland and hitches a ride with a biker named Megalodon. Wait… ok maybe that’s not right. But we drank enough whiskey to tell the ACTUAL story of Jonah and the Whale in this episode. Find out what happens when you run from God in the Bible, and how we would end this story if we were scribes. Support the sh...

As we recorded this intro on Trans Day of Visibility, we wanted to re-share one of our favorite episodes: the 6 Genders of Judaism. There are over 400 pieces of anti-LGBTQ legislation in circulation in America today. We're here to remind everyone that being trans is not crime, it's not unnatural, and it is definitely not new. Come sit with us for a little while and learn the Jewish understanding of gender that dates back thousands of years in the Talmud. And take good care, friends. Support the ...

Last week Ezra showed up late to his own party. This week, he might be... TOO present. We're getting major Exodus vibes from this story, including the long journey back to Jerusalem and a bit of paranoia about making sure everyone follows the dang rules and doesn't TOUCH the STUFF. But no one (except Ezra) could have seen what was coming next... and we're pretty mad about it. Support the show SUPPORT THE SHOW ON Patreon Instagram Facebook...

Weeeee're BACK! Well, partially... because our post-lockdown immune systems are clearly still in development. After enduring Jezebel's depressing and dramatic death last season, we wanted to revisit her life in a re-release this week. We also meet Elijah, God's new BFF who goes through some asinine trials while God keeps trying to understand humans and their petty needs. Enjoy!

Merry Chrysler and Happy Ho Days! As we continue our Christmas tradition of weaving the full story of Jesus together, Jesus and his disciples pass some deep philosophy around (always to the left) as they ponder some of life's greatest lessons. They also seem to notice Jesus has a growing amount of magical powers. It's almost like he can... walk on water?

It's officially JESUS SEASON on Bibleish, but this week we're bringing back an episode that we both adore for the first time since it launched: our 2019 Christmas extravaganza! In this episode, Lily gives us an eye-opening background on the true Pagan origins of Santa, Christmas, and holiday blood-splashing. We also finish the story of baby Jeebus, follow him into his early adulthood, watch him get yelled at by his mom, and sing you some songs. We hope you enjoy and we'll see you on Christmas Da...

We're all a little over Elisha's shiny, no-grit personality, so this week we're doing a SPEEDRUN through Kings to cover Elisha AND a few new(ish) faces. But just when we thought Elisha had nothing too interesting left to offer, we start to wonder: is this prophet starting to lose his finesse?

Biblical smut is BACK as Darlene and her family return to Shunem, the site of her last (embellished) tryst with the prophet Elisha. She has dreamt of his hands, his smile, and his embrace for seven years -- sorry, Hank -- and now she is as excited as she is nervous to see him. What she finds in her home instead gives her a shock that sends her running. Will the long lost lovers reunite? But also does she remember that she is married?
