The TLDR Bible Show

Liz and Billy say "thank you and goodbye (at least for now)" to all the sinners out there. Thanks for your questions, comments, and all the rude remarks. We're grateful to have shared some of our favorite (and least favorite) Bible stories with you all over the past five seasons.

Genesis 19-21 is a wild ride with way too much to cover in one brief episode. Sodom and Gomorrah are destroyed. Lot's wife is turned to stone. Abraham keeps trying to trick people into thinking that his wife is his sister and for some reason it's the ultimate con.

Billy and Liz discuss the beginning of the matriarchs and patriarchs— that's right, it's finally time to talk about all these people we vaguely remember but can't place in the family tree…. I think there's someone named Joseph at some point? God makes a covenant with Abram (later to be renamed Abraham) and God choice of Abram is not meritocratic. Abram is just as ridiculous as the rest of us… as we'll find out in this crazy adventure through the rest of Genesis.

First of all, diversity is not a punishment. It's a little too easy to read this story in a typical English language Bible and walk away with any other impression. Billy and Liz unpack a more helpful interpretation of the Tower of Babel story. We finish up with a summary of the primordial history of Genesis 1-11 before pivoting in a few weeks to the family history of Genesis 12-50. We'll be off for a few weeks, but we're excited to hit your podcast feed again with Genesis 12-50! As always, all the love to Charlie Kluttz for writing our theme song and musical transitions.

Billy and Liz talk about that beloved children's story Noah's Ark. You know, the one where everyone dies. Classic children's story. But there ARE lots of cute animals! Liz returns to the question of incest as the whole of humanity is reduced to a tiny remnant of Noah and his family, and Billy is continually uninterested in this question. We close out our conversation thinking about violence and come to the conclusion that even God decides that they can't resort to violence to try to fix the problems of the world.

Billy and Liz start this episode off with an error on the Bible. Cain and Abel are the sons of Adam and Eve, not the brothers of Adam and Eve. The rest of the episode, I'm sure, you all will find completely error free. We continue the conversation with a little suspicion of the heterosexual family, since literally this first family commits murder; and finish up with a conversation about how God chooses to elevate those who have nothing.

It's another Creation Story & THE FALL (you must say “the fall” in a very spooky voice). While in Genesis 1 we get a zoomed out Creation story, here we get much more intimate in the garden of Eden (which maybe all women still have the keys to?). Adam and Eve are together and happy, until that pesky snake comes by and ruins it all. Sexism and homophobia (but NOT marriage) enter the story nice and early at end of our conversation.

Billy and Liz start from the very beginning, because as Julie Andrews teaches, it's a very good place to start. We're taking things aaaaall the way back to the Book of Genesis for our fifth season of the TLDR Bible Show. In Genesis 1:1-2:4a, we learn about a first creation story where God orders the formless void and fills the world with all manner of creatures. There are very few women, but that's okay, because that means that sexism and homophobia haven't entered the story at this point. Hooray!

We take it back to the very beginning this season. We're unpacking Genesis 1-11: The Primordial History in our first five episodes of this season. We'll touch on some of the most famous stories in the Bible: Creation, Adam and Eve, the first murder, Noah's Ark, and the Tower of Babel (spoiler alert: diversity is not a punishment!).

Rev. Lee Catoe of Justice Unbound and the podcast A Matter of Faith joins us this week as we cover Advent 3 and debt, corporate sin, and judgement. Advent is a time of holding space for the coming of Jesus who will radically change the way our world functions— so we talk about those big themes alongside the whirlwind of human emotions that the holiday season brings. At the end, we discuss the age-old dilemma: what's the proper etiquette for giving and receiving items that have been re-gifted?

We cover sections of the Advent lectionary, reading Jeremiah 33:14-16 and Luke 21:25-36 before diving in with a cup of hot cocoa and some Christmas ornaments to get in the holiday spirit.

Billy & Liz take you on a wrap up tour of our favorite moments from the Gospel of Mark. We talk about some of the overarching themes of the gospel including Rome, masculinity and power. Even as Jesus is trying to dismantle these systems, the author uses those same constructions to tell his story of Jesus. So we get a MANLY Jesus! We'll be taking next week off in a mini-break between Season 3 and Season 4, but we'll be back in your podcast feed on Mondays in Advent (November 29-December 25 for the non-churchy of y'all, Sinners!).

The tomb is empty— Thanks be to God! Billy and Liz talk about the Resurrection in Mark 16 and we cover those pesky pesky alternate endings in 16:9-20. You can pick up snakes if you're faithful to God? You can drink poison?! We unpack what is going on in these alt endings and get back to the Resurrection basics (like if that young man wearing a white linen cloth is hot).

You've stuck it out for Part 2 of our conversation with Rev. Jeff Baker of Chosen Family Church! This episode covers the irreverent queer and feminist critiques of the Mark 11-15 that you know and love. We talk a lot about the poor widow who gives away all her money— spoiler alert, we don't think that's a good thing and we figure out exactly what are we supposed to give unto Caesar.

Rev. Jeff Baker of Chosen Family Church joins this episode for the anniversary of their first visit to the TLDR Bible Show! This episode is just the first half of our conversation about the Book of Mark 11-15 because we enjoyed gabbing way too long. In this section of the conversation we cover the summaries, the characters and dive into the historical context. We spend a lot of time talking about the apocalypse narrative from Mark 13, so buckle up! Many thanks to Rev. Jeff Baker for joining this conversation.

Billy and Liz talk Mark 8:22-10:52 as Jesus pivots the narrative towards Jerusalem. We cover that pesky, harmful, and oft-cited passage on adultery and why no one should ever get divorced (lol). Then we spend a lot of time talking about identity: who IS Jesus? What does he want us to know about him... and when? My goodness, it's all so mysterious.

Billy and Liz use the word “preposition” incorrectly a whole bunch of times, but that doesn't slow down this ministry road trip! What is a preposition anyway? Jesus calls ~The 12~ and he and his followers are on the move. They travel around Galilee healing people and aggravating the authorities so much that we get an early plot to kill Jesus in Chapter 3. Billy and Liz think about chosen family, queer community, and the way that Simon Peter's mother-in-law jumps up from her death bed to start serving supper.
