Matthew 22-23: Woe is Me? Woe is You!
Dan and Justin dive back into the parables this week as Jesus tries to explain to the error of their ways to the Pharisees and Sadducees. It's a lot of taxes, a lot of trickery, and at least one Kimmy Schmidt reference.

Matthew 11-12: Jesus Gets Mad at Church (And So Can You!)
