I created this podcast – to attempt to retell some of my favourite Bible stories in a way that might help us to hear them as their first listeners would have done so. Such a retelling may not help us to know exactly what happened, but I hope it might help us to delve into those truths that they were trying to communicate.

Join Micah, Ell, Mat, Joshua Maria Garcia, and W. Scott McAndless as they discuss Genesis 47:13-26. How does Joseph centralize power? How does Joseph's power grab affect his family? And can a good person change things from the inside, or is corruption inevitable? Hear some answers to these questions and more on this first part of a two part episode of The Word in Black and Red!
Thank you to "TWIBAR" for being willing to share this episode with my followers.

In this bonus episode, W. Scott McAndless has a wide-ranging and very important discussion about the story told in Genesis 45:1-47:12 with Micah Belong the Wise Old Llama Enby, host of "The Word in Black and Red." I'm pleased to be able to share this with my followers.
What does Joseph's weeping have to teach us about the redemptive process? How can we reimagine our family dynamics in ways that bring healing? And how can you scam your boss even better?
Note: Some explicit language.

As far as we can tell, the original manuscript of the Gospel of Mark ended strangely and abruptly at chapter 16, verse 8.
This is the story of how the author (lets call him Mark) decided to end his gospel in what seems like such a surprising way to us.
Based on Mark 16:1-8 with reference to Mark 3:20-35, Mark 15:6-15 and 1 Corinthians 15:5-7.

In this extra special episode, W. Scott engages in a wide-range discussion about the amazing story of Tamar with the good folks at "The Word in Black and Red." Sex, prostitution, masturbation, this discussion touches on all of it!
And, yes, the language is explicit and sometimes crude so be advised!
