The Bible is the most read book ever, but for many it is merely fiction. Join our conversation as we connect the dots to reveal that the story of the Bible is not only true, it's better than fiction.
(Genesis 41:41-56) Nathan keeps on getting hit with the long passages to read, but he can take it. Listen to the testimony disguised as a sermon referenced in this episode at http://www.firstbaptistcorinth.org/
(Genesis 41:1-39) Another change in clothes and another change in station. Joseph is right where God needs him to be.
(Genesis 40) That's right another whole chapter. We are dangerously close to finishing Genesis and now we find Joseph in the deepest pit he's been in yet.
Gandalf and Nathan Vanhorn push on into the messy situation of Potiphar's house. Sometimes, a success bring unforeseen consequences.
(Genesis 39:1-6) Joseph is in Egypt, and things are looking up for our man of many colors. I'm sure nothing bad is going to happen.....right?
(Genesis 38) Judah is up to no good back at the ranch, and his daughter-in-law takes full advantage of the situation. In the end, the weak eyes prevail.
(Genesis 38:1-10) Warning! We talk about some scandalous topics today, but only if you hear with the ears of a 21st century westerner. If you listen as a ancient child of Israel, perhaps it's not so strange..
(Genesis 37:12-36) Our man of long sleeves is in the pit physically, while his father is in the pit emotionally. What did early biblical characters believe about the afterlife, if at all?
(Genesis 37:12-36) Joseph's downward spiral begins, Ruben Plots, and God's masterplan takes form.
(Genesis 37:1-11) We finally arrive at the final narrative of Genesis. Brother's jealousy, favoritism, and a fortelling dream.
(Genesis 36) Esau might be one of the most unfairly slandered characters in all of Genesis, we examine exactly what the story says about our favorite hairy man.
(Genesis 35:27-29) God turns what was meant for evil into good, and Isaac get his good ending
(Genesis 35:16-29) A generation is passing, and the new generation is quick to make it's play for power.
(Genesis 35:1-15) Unresolved plot holes, mysteries, and a glimpse of God's plan)
(Genesis 35: 1-15) Jacob and his family stink to the people of the land, so he packs up and leaves. But not before preforming some very important acts that foreshadow future stories.
(Genesis 34:18-31) "It's not what you did son, that angers me so... It's who you did it to."
(Genesis 34:18-23) The episode starts out as a discussion of the actions of Jacob's Sons, but quickly devolves into a debate on the origins of the Ethiopian Eunuch.
(Genesis 34:1-12) You can't really understand the crime that has taken place here unless you first understand how these characters understood the concept of "Nakedness of your Father"
(Genesis 34:1-12) There's wacky, there's crazy, there's ill-advised, and there's foolish. But then, there's outrageous. As we discover, it's a word with strong meaning.
(Genesis 34:1-12) Jacob may be done running from Esau, but his troubles are far from over. A terrible thing is done to his family, and we look at the question of: "Who is to blame?"
(Genesis 33:12-20) For all their wisdom and knowledge, Matt and Nathan demonstrate that they don't know about Biblical geography.
(Genesis 33:12-18) We look back at a curious verse and ponder it's meaning. Is really it true that God hates baby Esau?
(Genesis 33:12-18) When you are traveling through a land named literally after your brother, it helps to have his name to back you up. Too bad Jacob does the exact opposite of that.

(Genesis 31:22-42) Who do you think is the biggest villain in the old testament, well you're wrong. We talk about evil uncles, Politicians , and Emperor Palpatine.
We pause the story to talk about the how weird the Bible is, or rather how weird we are...
