In the Bible Story Corner we're back in Revelation! We finally dive into what millennialism is and how that's made America kinda weird.

ALSO Shannon totally missed the 50th anniversary of Jesus Christ Superstar last year, and NEEDS to make up for it.

Abbey finally explains what's going on with the first part of Ezekiel.

Shannon discovers Jesus stuffies.

Abbey brings the story of Michal (first wife of King David, but also her own person, alright), in an attempt to enrage Shannon. She succeeds but is also able to bring up interesting points about spiritual abuse and what the point of a biblical story is if not to learn morals.

Shannon wants everyone to listen to How to Save a Planet (but specifically the episode about converting evangelicals to believe in Climate Change.

Abbey talks about the book of Jude, but finds too many dead ends to draw good conclusions. In

Silly Stuff, Shannon's found a new way to torment Abbey (hint: it involves zombies).

Abbey discusses refuge cities as seen in Joshua, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Also why aren't there more sermons and commentaries about this?? The sisters have to come to their own conclusions.

Shannon continues to make mistakes, this time by reading and evangelical propaganda book. It makes her cranky.

Abbey opens her bible to a random page and starts a conversation about what we can get from the bible.

Shannon's watched Blue Like Jazz (again apparently) and doesn't hate it.

Even through tech difficulties, Abbey muddles her way through sharing about the Gospel of Thomas. She insists its Bible related even if it's not in any Bible. Silly Stuff with Shannon turns into Side Conversations with Shannon as she tries to come up with a thesis on folk music and Christian theology.

Abbey and Shannon rename doubting Thomas to Thomas the twin (There are reasons). They are geek out while doing so, because theology is awesome. Lamb makes a comeback.

Shannon finds a new source of puns in children's shows.

Abbey and Shannon are back at it for part 1 of 2, thanks to an Abbey spiral of things she's interested in. Today it starts with Mary, in a garden, looking for Jesus. Shannon tries her hand at transitions and transformations and maybe succeeds?

Abbey takes a look at the short passage in the bible that has spawned many ideas... the tower of Babel.

Shannon accidentally googled Jesus and vampires, and worse . . . she found something.

We're back!!

Abbey finds a way to talk about Hamilton inside the bible story corner. The topic is Micah (the profit not the mineral) and the sisters dive in.

Meanwhile, Shannon has been barely holding it together in her excitement to talk about Semler's album Preacher's Kid.

Abbey tries to cram the entirety of the Jonah story (and some commentary) into one episode. It's difficult. :/

Meanwhile, Shannon has discovered a game show where one of the categories is Klingon or Christ.

Abbey helps you beat back the haters by giving you biblical reasoning for fighting for social justice. Proof texting isn't perfect, but in this case it sure is fun.

Shannon talks Michal, and also this memoir she read about someone ending up in a modern-day harem. They have more in common than you'd think...

White people realize the world is a mess, so Abbey reminds everyone that Jesus got angry too in this reissue of our 'Jesus Gets Angry' episode.

Abbey just can't seem to get enough of Jesus at the moment and brings another Jesus story, and Jesus actually makes an appearance! As usual it turns into a social justice conversation.

Shannon has found a new show on Netflix. She and Abbey lament the amount of sweet shows on TV today.

Abbey talks sieged cities (familiar?) or at least about Hezekiah defeating the Assyrians in something that was kind of a siege.

Shannon just finished The Good Place and can't hold it in any longer. We don't think there are any spoilers in the episode, just a lot of excited squealing.

In the latest installment of The Bible (According to my Sister) Abbey’s commentaries are still abandoned in the back of storage unit in West Virginia. She has found some internet resources and came up with the topic of Susanna from the Apocrypha. It’s a strangely timely story.
TW: Rape

Shannon’s feels conflicted about a David-centric video game that’s violent but has some pretty cool trivia.

Abbey and Shannon have had a weird week. Abbey is moving and Shannon is helping take care of nieces. We haven't had a chance to edit yet, so this weeks episode is delayed. Sorry. Should be out later this week.
