The Bible (According to My Sister)
Sisters Abbey and Shannon love a good story. So it's no surprise that they've sunk their teeth into an old masterpiece; The Bible. Together they tell some lesser known tales from the bible, debunk myths, and keep you up to date on Bible-themed movies and musicals. Abbey has a Master's of Divinity, and loves telling bible stories. Shannon has seen 13 versions of Jesus Christ Superstar and maybe owns a bible...somewhere. So they've got this. You can trust them. Join them every other Wednesday for your dose of Bible time.

Abbey discusses refuge cities as seen in Joshua, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Also why aren't there more sermons and commentaries about this?? The sisters have to come to their own conclusions.
Shannon continues to make mistakes, this time by reading and evangelical propaganda book. It makes her cranky.

Even through tech difficulties, Abbey muddles her way through sharing about the Gospel of Thomas. She insists its Bible related even if it's not in any Bible. Silly Stuff with Shannon turns into Side Conversations with Shannon as she tries to come up with a thesis on folk music and Christian theology.

Abbey helps you beat back the haters by giving you biblical reasoning for fighting for social justice. Proof texting isn't perfect, but in this case it sure is fun.
Shannon talks Michal, and also this memoir she read about someone ending up in a modern-day harem. They have more in common than you'd think...

White people realize the world is a mess, so Abbey reminds everyone that Jesus got angry too in this reissue of our 'Jesus Gets Angry' episode.
Abbey just can't seem to get enough of Jesus at the moment and brings another Jesus story, and Jesus actually makes an appearance! As usual it turns into a social justice conversation.
Shannon has found a new show on Netflix. She and Abbey lament the amount of sweet shows on TV today.

Abbey talks sieged cities (familiar?) or at least about Hezekiah defeating the Assyrians in something that was kind of a siege.
Shannon just finished The Good Place and can't hold it in any longer. We don't think there are any spoilers in the episode, just a lot of excited squealing.
