Vacation Bible School Podcast 🏳️‍🌈

Hello we’re @jasonkirk.fyi and Emily Kirk, who is not online. We’ve been podcasting through the Bible since 2020 (and will get back to Kings soon). We were raised Evangelical, but don’t care whether you end up Christian. Also we saw Five Iron Frenzy a few weeks ago podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/v...

If you want the podcast version of this class, may I recommend @vbs.bsky.social

🎶 MY NAME IS JONAH / I'M CHILLING IN THE WHALE - One of the Bible's best books! - An intentionally wacky story! - With deep political meaning! - And pirates who don't do anything!

Fun episode. To “yes and,” I always picture Jonah as a satirical response to Ezekiel. I would also flip out if I’m given the same job as a nut job who had to lay on his side for 390 days, eat a scroll, and make bread with dung. That sounds like it sucks, I’d try to avoid it too.

ANNUAL BONUS CHURCH

The days when VBS materializes out of the Scottish mists are my favorite days.

Much like Jonah being puked onto shore, we are back

Here on Rapture Day, I should tell you about my $3 ebook that includes an 80-page "the Rapture happened, and a group of ex-evangelical young women were left behind" novella, spinning off of my novel. Only available here:

Again already? That's awesome. I have prepared a complete history of the Rapture leading up to Tuesday's Rapture:

Feel like this is one for @jasonkirk.fyi and @vbs.bsky.social

Rewriting history is one thing. Folks are trying to rewrite the present now.

Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and keep the door of my lips. (Psalm 141:3)

"Maybe today will be the day it happens" — like half the verses from Isaiah through Psalms or vice versa

I’d like to highly recommend @vbs.bsky.social at this time, where Jason and Emily discuss the parts of the Bible that mention feeding the hungry and taking care of the poor.

Trump's insistence that he wants to try to get to heaven feels to me a huge exemplar of what is inherently problematic with western expressions of Christianity: that it is transactional, it's about results, it's about the endgame. Jesus' call to follow is an ACTIVE call. It's rooted in the present.

Can I tell you about a far more influential Creator

"The Bible that Dobson weaponized against millions of us tells us in dozens of ways that it is OK to feel good about evil people running out of chances to inflict evil. It also tells us there is no better revenge than refusing to pay hatred forward," writes @jasonkirk.fyi. sojo.net/articles/opi...

Christian 1: well, we did it. No more pagan gods. A universal faith Christian 2: sure is buddy. The holy gospel. God's truth. Just the father, the son, and the holy spirit. Who of course proceeds from the father and from the son Christian 1: the fuck did you just say
