About this listen

In this episode, Nate, Tony and guest Michael Schlender discuss the concept of biblical heroes, questioning traditional Sunday school portrayals of various characters from the Bible. They highlight the flawed nature of many figures such as Samson, David, Solomon, and Gideon, reflecting on how their understanding of these characters has evolved. The conversation also touches on lesser-known figures like Ananias and Barnabas, who played crucial roles in the early Christian church. The session underscores the importance of discerning genuine models of faith and trust in God by comparing the lives of Joseph and Jesus, both seen as embodiments of true humanity through their unwavering trust in Yahweh.
