Jesse Cole Ward and Peggy Caroline Murphy bring the chaos in this Bottom Shelf Bible Study episode, tearing into the Song of Solomon—the Bible’s hottest love poem that’s half romance, half NSFW fever dream.

Tune in for laughs, smutty scripture, and a take on love as unhinged as a fox in a vineyard. Like, subscribe, and catch the next biblical banger!
