Why does God seem so DIFFERENT in the Old Testament?

Join Jesse, Sean, Anthony, and Erik in this episode as they tackle technical difficulties, embarrassing college memories, and some deep theological questions. From Sean's spray tan escapade (thanks to losing a bet with his students) to Erik's genuine struggle reconciling the God of the Old Testament with Jesus, this episode dives into heavy topics with a lot of laughs along the way. Stick around for reviews, listener shoutouts, and a sneak peek into why God chose such a humble arrival. Perfect for those who enjoy a mix of humor, faith, and raw honesty.
