This episode of The Evolving Faith Podcast features:

Shocking news that both Fozzie and Sarah fall off of couches when they nap.
Jasper Peters’ talk from the Evolving Faith 2019 conference where he starts with the question, “What happens when the things we were taught about the Bible don’t turn out to be true?”
He discusses how the Bible has been used as a weapon against so many people throughout history and how this same text can be used as liberation for the least of these here and now.
Jasper ends by encouraging us to abandon the battleground for biblical authority and reclaim the power Scripture has for those who engage the text.
Following Jasper’s talk, Jeff and Sarah discuss how our faith traditions influence how we read Scripture.
