... but I know at some point we have to get on with the rest of Matthew 27. I just think this little nugget is so dang interesting, and way more important than it gets credit for. I think it's confusing for people, and so it tends to get glossed over, but I think Matthew views it as a huge payoff for everything he's been setting up.
2022-11-07 22:52:56 +0000 UTC View Post... because immediately upon Jesus' death, we run into a stack of phenomena that suggest Jesus was in fact the Messiah and the son of god. Everyone of these strange manifestations points to something specific, but together they mark a change in narrative momentum from darkness toward light.
2022-11-02 02:17:18 +0000 UTC View PostNot sure how that works, but that's where we're at; the Bible holds this out as being the pivotal moment in the history of humanity.
2022-10-25 03:55:04 +0000 UTC View PostI thought you might like this little bit that Jeff put together for the end of today's episode. I found it fun and figured it might make for a good ringtone/notification you could assign to your incoming spam calls.
Thanks for making this podcast happen.
2022-10-19 22:28:32 +0000 UTC View PostSo much happens so fast in these few verses of Matthew 27, and we're going to do our best to pick up what Matthew is putting down.
2022-10-17 16:59:08 +0000 UTC View PostI continue to giggle at how different the tone of a sermon for a church is from the tone of what we do together every day, but I still enjoy sharing some of these with you, the patrons, from time to time. This is one that we'd briefly posted on a bye week here on the podcast a couple of years ago, and it's now only available here.
Hope you enjoy it, and thanks for supporting this thing.
2022-10-11 16:50:17 +0000 UTC View Post.... not having the crucifixion conversation in the spring time, but here we are and there's a lot to talk about.
2022-10-10 14:53:20 +0000 UTC View Post... but in this story the hero can't truly be mocked.
So many payoffs in these final two chapters.
This livestream will be for both TMBH podcast patrons, and patrons of the TMBH YouTube channel.
So much stuff is happening!!!!! YouTube as a company has been moving in new directions, and I have some fresh ideas for what that means for the YouTube channel and the podcast of the same name. I've been putting a TON of thought and effort into making a plan for the next few years for what I do on the Internet and with Bible stuff in general.
I'd love to bring you up to speed on that an...
2022-09-28 22:59:56 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the inevitable week where we look at what the Romans actually physically did to people who they viewed as problematic. We're starting with flogging, and will end up with crucifixion, but there are a whole bunch of other things in between that we need to talk about as well. I promise we won't linger too long, but it is important and it will be interesting.

...we're just about through the blame phase, and as the week goes on, we're getting into the suffering phase of the story. This part is rough.
...a farce, but it's a farce that Matthew indicates has to happen, and is a farce that pays off so much of what's been set up.
2022-09-12 06:45:32 +0000 UTC View PostThat's where we start this week. It's bleak, but it's in there for a reason, and we'll dig deeper into that.
2022-09-05 22:16:05 +0000 UTC View PostI think you knew that, but I wanted to say it anyway. Thanks for making it so we get to do this together.
Promised Pontius Pilate stuff actually starts this week.
... now we're moving toward chasing down the details on Pilate. Should be fun.
Thank you for this.
Even though I know where this story is going, it's still shocking.
2022-08-15 05:14:06 +0000 UTC View Post...the other day. I thought it was great and that you might like it.
2022-08-11 18:30:55 +0000 UTC View Post.... there are like 800 verses in Matthew chapter 26? This is a whopper of a chapter, but we're getting into the highest drama segment right now, and it's surprisingly intense for how familiar we all are with the story.
I absolutely love that I get to do this with all of you everyday, and you are the reason it exists. That is never lost on me, and I'm very thankful.
Time for the showdown between the state-appointed mediator between God and man, and the God-appointed mediator between God and man.
2022-08-01 04:06:58 +0000 UTC View PostIt's interesting to watch how much slower we move as we get toward the end. Part of that might be that I want to savor it, and part of that is just the simple reality that there's so much to pay off the further in we get.
2022-07-25 15:06:05 +0000 UTC View PostHere's a sermon that used to live on the podcast feed, but (like all the special bonus week episodes that are made of old sermons I did) that no longer lives there because I pull these down after a couple of months so that the podcast feed stays clean for people working through the back catalogue.
That was a lot.
What I mean to say is thank you for supporting the podcast, thank you for trusting me with part of your day, and thank you in advance for being so gracious with wha...
2022-07-14 23:12:24 +0000 UTC View PostWe're having a lot of fun with this, and there's a whole album around the corner in August. You can also find this on Spotify in the mean time.
The website for the project is at rooktown.net

This takes us to interesting places.
Jeff outdid himself on this one, and I thought you'd enjoy having it. Thanks for supporting the podcast. More stuff like this to come.
2022-06-30 18:48:49 +0000 UTC View PostWe're not going all the way down the rabbit hole, but we are at least considering the big picture of how Christians read Jesus'words at the last supper in different ways.
Thank you for your graciousness.
We'll tackle that and soooo much more on this exciting week of the Ten Minute Bible Hour Podcast!
Also thank you.
I cannot stress enough that Jeff is the talent and the mind behind this. I help some. That said, this is quite literally this track's debut. The band is called Rooktown and the album comes out next month. We had a lot of fun with it.
This song has references to things we've been talking about in the book of Matthew, and I know you'll catch those references and ideas. With that in mind, it seemed right to debut this track here. Thanks for supporting TMBH.
The song's called Premonit...

This podcast exists because of you. Thanks!
