Welcome to the Bible through the eyes of a prestigious (not so prestigious) Reverend Doctor, which also happens to be stuff that your pastor, Sunday School teacher or your mother should have taught you. Things about the Bible that either they didn’t know, didn’t want to know or didn’t want to tell you. Maybe even things that they wanted to tell you, but forgot. No stone goes unturned here. Buckle up.
New episode every week on Tuesdays. Come back on Tuesday...or don't. It's whatever.
"Where have you been, Reverend Doc?? We were so upset and worried about you!!" - you, probably (not).

A short lil' episode about Moses in Exodus 13-17. We talk about crossing the Red Sea. We talk about the complaints that happen afterwards, i.e. what the Reverend Doctor calls the YMCA Issues. Also, we get to hear the Reverend Doc's Maine Coon (Charles) snore.
Episodes will now be posted every other Monday. Sometimes every Monday. Depends on life.
Thanks for being here.

THE STORY OF MOSES: PART TWO (Passover Edition)
Back from a brief break to talk about the Passover and how it means more than you were originally taught. IF THERE IS ANY EPISODE YOU LISTEN TO, IT SHOULD PROBABLY BE THIS ONE. We talk about what the significance of ancient Hebrew words are. We talk about *cough* prophecies *cough* that are clearly laid out in Exodus 12.
I also mention briefly that my Ashanti: Chapter 2 CD has been missing since 2004. If you have seen it or know its whereabouts, please call 1-800-CRIMESTOPPERS.

THE STORY OF MOSES: PART ONE (Exodus 1-11)
Talkin' about Moses. Talkin' about Pharaoh. Discussing the backstory and significance of the plagues (because they're more than just plagues). Talkin' smack (not really) on Egyptian gods. Giving you information you probably didn't know....and if you do know it, that's incredibly cool.
If you don't...you're welcome for the information overload.

MOSES FROM A KID'S PERSPECTIVE

JOSEPH SHOULD'VE SHUT HIS MOUTH (Genesis 37-50)
A podcast episode devoted to the controversial opinion that Joseph should've shut his mouth at the beginning of the story, but we are all glad he didn't at the end. Also, sad blessings and curses from Jacob.

ABE & SARAH FAMILY DRAMA PART TWO (Genesis 16-25)
A lot of trauma, daddy issues and hypothetical *almost* deaths. Hagar is a single mom who works two jobs. Sarah is a wee bit bitter, but she's 99. What do you expect? Abe is kinda dumb, but his faith is big so that makes his idiocracy...better?
28 May 2024
ABE & SARAH FAMILY DRAMA PART ONE (Genesis 12-15)
Part One of Abe & Sarah Family Drama. We talk about how names were pronounced in Hebrew (and English really butchers them in my opinion). We talk about Lot being an idiot. We talk about a dude with a weird name. We talk about God comin' down to sign His own contracts. It's all good in the neighborhood.
...also I quote Borat once. I will not apologize.

BABBLIN' BABEL (Genesis 11)
Makin' fun of names. Sayin' names wrong. Telling you your Sunday school teacher didn't know crap about Babel. You probably are mad about it. I'd say sorry, but you need to know these things.
14 May 2024
FLOOD (Genesis 6-10)
Noah's PTSD. Ancient stories involving a flood. Woody Harrelson in 2012. Numbers mean words in Hebrew. This episode gives you a little taste of everything.
7 May 2024
ADAM & EVE FAMILY DRAMA (Genesis 3-5)
We talk about Adam and Eve. We don't talk about sin, but we do talk about ancient implications of being naked. We also talk about snakes. We apologize to the snake community. We also talk about cool names. The Reverend Doc mentions that she has 12 toes...but she definitely 10000% does not (last time she checked).

CREATION (Genesis 1 & 2)
Some tidbits on Genesis 1-2 (https://backtobiblebasics.substack.com/p/the-basics-of-genesis) that you probably didn't know, didn't think about, or maybe don't care about. I talk about the Ancient Near East. I talk about the seven day timeline. I mention that one lady who ran into a wall at my local Target and how it was embarrassing for her.
