There's a sentence you're not supposed to say in church: the Bible is a myth. Don't close the video. I think that word doesn't mean what you think it means.Organic Jesus is a short, casual show about faith, the Bible, and the questions we usually skip, with history, humor, and probably too many pop-culture references. No preservatives.In this episode: what "myth" really means (and what it doesn't), the hidden pattern in the seven days of Genesis 1, why the story of Joseph is built like a mirror, a game show round of "Is It in the Bible?" (the apple, the pyramids, the devil's pitchfork, and more), what the apocrypha actually is, and why looking at how the Bible was written made it bigger for me, not smaller.#OrganicJesus #BibleStudy #Christianity

I have a prescription here. The label says: Miracle. Take one daily, with food. Side effects may include hope. Wouldn't that be great? A lot of us treat miracles that way, like something God dispenses if we ask the right way. Today we look at why Jesus never ran a pharmacy, and what he was doing instead.

In this episode: the Gospels record about 37 miracles, so why those? Four friends who tore open a roof, why Jesus's first words to the man on the mat weren't "Walk," Jesus crying at a tomb he was about to empty, the dropped-chalk email legend, and why a miracle might be an invitation, not a prescription.

If you're in the middle of something hard right now, keep asking. You don't have to do it alone.

How many photos of Jesus exist? Zero. The Gospels never even describe what he looked like. So would Jesus take a selfie? I think the answer says a lot about how we do faith, and why Christians disappoint us.

In this episode: a camera roll full of selfies, W-W-J-D bracelets, an acolyte dinner at Mrs. Smith's house, the night Jesus washed his friends' feet, why the first scandal in the early church was someone curating an image, the 1926 disappearance of a famous evangelist, and why Christianity might be a religion about them, not you.

If someone in church has hurt you, that hurt is real. I hope this episode is a gentle way back to what Jesus actually asked of us.
