Is Masturbation in the Bible a Good Idea?

We’re revisiting our original season, and up next, we’re talking about Judah and Tamar! Join Knox, Jamie, and Resident Bible Scholar Erin Moon as they explore this Old Testament redneck melodrama! You’ll hear wild speculation about widow’s clothes, Jamie doing PR for Bible character, and lots of moments that will most likely make you sweat. 

Speaking of which, you probably won’t want to listen to this with little ears around because there is a lot of masturbation and prostitution talk in this episode. Don’t blame us; it’s in the Bible.
