  What if the Rib was never a Rib?

  Aug 19, 202643 minS2

  Genesis 2:18-25 gets read as a surgery story. God knocks Adam out, pulls a rib, builds a woman. Case closed, right? Except the Hebrew word there, tsela, almost never means "rib" anywhere else it shows up in the Old Testament. It means side. And the text says God didn't just extract something, he took one whole side of the human and built the other half of creation out of it. That changes what this passage is actually doing. It's not explaining where women came from as an afterthought. It's saying humanity wasn't finished until both halves existed side by side. The man doesn't understand himself until he sees the half that was missing.

  Did God Really Command Genocide? (Exodus 17 Explained)

  Aug 12, 202640 minS2

  Exodus 17 says God will "wipe out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven." Two verses later it says the Lord will be at war with Amalek "from generation to generation." Which one is it? This isn't about explaining away the hard parts of the Old Testament. It's about asking a better question than "did this literally happen," and asking instead, "why am I being told this story, and what kind of story is it." Once you see this pattern in Exodus 17, you start noticing it everywhere else, including in the conquest of Jericho.

  Episode #83

  Decisional vs Emotional Forgiveness | What Jesus Actually Meant

  Aug 5, 202655 minS2

  Forgiveness sounds simple until you're the one carrying it. In this episode of Whiskey and the Writings, Joe sits down with Colby Stream to unpack what forgiveness actually looks like when the hurt runs deep — betrayal, abuse, years of unresolved pain. We dig into the difference between decisional forgiveness (the choice) and emotional forgiveness (the release), why the church often rushes people past both, and what Matthew 18 and Mark 11 actually teach about God's timeline versus ours. This isn't a "just forgive and move on" conversation — it's an honest look at what it means to say "I can't forgive yet, but I'm getting there," and why that's an okay place to be.

  Whiskey and the Writings

  The first three gospels. What they share, and the theology that makes them different.

  Jul 29, 202633 min

  What are the Synoptic Gospels, and why do Matthew, Mark, and Luke tell Jesus's story so similarly, yet so differently? In this episode of Whiskey and the Writings, Joe pours a glass of Yellowstone Kentucky Straight Bourbon and dives into the scholarship behind the first three Gospels.

  Why the Most Misunderstood Gospel Might Be the Best Place to Start

  Jul 22, 202659 minS2

  The Gospel of Mark doesn't end with the resurrected Jesus. It ends with three terrified women running from an empty tomb, saying nothing to anyone. That's not a scribal accident, it might be the most brilliant move in the entire New Testament. In this episode we go deep into the Gospel of Mark, the shortest and most overlooked of the four Gospels, and the one modern scholarship is only now catching up to.
