The Difficult Teachings of Jesus (Episode 1)

People often have a picture of “campfire Jesus,” the Jesus who sang songs, held hands, and only said things that made people feel better about themselves and the world.  You only have to read a few chapters into Matthew to realize Jesus said some pretty harsh things.  In this two part podcast, Todd and Stu deal with many of the difficult things Jesus said and show how culture, language, and context reveal the moral of these stories.
