Summary

Hello! Let's sprint through a big (but action-packed) portion of the Book of Samuel and then focus on the story of King David and Bathsheba.

Almost everything you've ever heard about this story has nothing to do with what's actually in the Bible, but what else is new?
Around the 40-minute mark, we're joined by creator April Ajoy (of TikTok, Instagram, the Evangelicalish podcast, and more) to discuss the way this story constantly gets argued about by the internet's angry Christian men. Plus we talk Rapture trauma, childhood persecution fantasies, and other fun stuff!!! To be clear, this is the fun part of the episode.
Let's also mostly wrap up the story of David, a boy who became a kingpin seemingly parodied by his own propaganda and just about the weirdest guy ever to pick as a supposed model for Jesus. His story's not quite done, but next time, we'll turn toward the original Finance Instagram bro: King Solomon.

Intro song: k.d. lang's cover of "Hallelujah"

0:31.6	If this is your first time listening to this podcast, we are going through the entire Bible. That's the claim at least. We've made it,
0:40.0	as you can tell, incredibly far. Not really. We've really gotten bogged down to the book of Samuel.
0:45.0	I say we, as if you're the one responsible for the bogging. I totally did it. It's my fault.
