Summary

Samuel chapter 17!

We've reached a Bible story everybody PRETTY MUCH knows, though there are still lots of fun details. It wasn't a slingshot, for one thing!
Goliath is the Statue of Liberty of Michael Jordans, David is Mr. Have It Both Ways, and King Saul's descent into madness ramps up right now!
Emily is mostly concerned with whether this Philistine-Israelite war is cruelty-free toward animals.
We're excited to be joined by Andrew Whitehead, author of numerous works explaining the dangers of Christian Nationalism. Yep, this relates to how the David and Goliath story gets taught in church!
Is there praise for Five Iron Frenzy? Friend, this is an episode of the Vacation Bible School Podcast. Of course there's praise for Five Iron Frenzy.

0:31.2	On this show, we are working our way through the stories and stuff in the Bible.
0:37.4	And we are approaching these things from the
0:39.9	perspective of, hey, everybody knows a little bit about these things. But how much do we actually
0:45.4	know about what's in there and who wrote it and what it might have meant at the time and what it
0:49.7	might mean now and how that stuff plays into our world and everything else.
0:56.0	This is not a show trying to sway you toward one or another flavor of religion.
