You're listening to the Bible for Normal People, the only God ordained podcast on the internet.

Serious talk about the sacred book. I'm Pete Ends.

And I'm Jared Byas.

Hey everybody, welcome to another episode of the Bible for Normal People and

another cell episode by Moa.

So thank you for listening and thank you for just being a part of the first season here.

We are coming towards the end of the first season, which is pretty cool.

Nobody gave us a shot, but we showed them. Here we are.

But it's been fun and we're thankful for all the support that we've gotten for all these, you know, wonderful faithful listeners like you and

for being part of our Patreon family as well as we try to create this online community of people who are seeking

exploring and who feel the need to question their faith and interrogate their faith in ways that

maybe they're not always allowed to do in other contexts.

So we're very proud to be a part of

that kind of faith journey that Jared and I are both on and that many others are on as well.

So with that,

again, this is season one. We're coming to the end.

And we've had a couple of guests on Brian Zond and Greg Boyd

focusing specifically on divine violence and violence in the Bible.

And I thought I'd sort of take my shot at it as well here,

sort of to give my own thoughts. You know, I've thought quite a bit about this myself and I have my own angle to take.

And it's also a topic that I get asked about a lot.

I mean, in my book, The Bible tells me so that came out back in 2014.
