  • You Can't Out-Bible the Pope

    October 26, 2026 · 1 hr 3 min

    Pope Leo XIV called the death penalty "inadmissible," and the internet promptly told him to go read his Bible—the one that prescribes execution for everything from kidnapping to picking up sticks on the Sabbath. But the Pope is making the…

  • How Lady Wisdom Became Flesh with Dustin Smith

    October 19, 2026 · 1 hr 7 min

    In the beginning was the Word, but what if the Word was Wisdom all along? This week we welcome Dustin Smith, New Testament scholar at Spartanburg Methodist College and host of the Biblical Unitarian Podcast, to talk about his book Wisdom…

  • Hexegesis and Sexist Jesus?

    October 12, 2026 · 1 hr 4 min

    It's the most spookiest time of the year, so we're debuting a brand-new segment: Hexegesis! Did King James really slip "thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" into Exodus because he hated witches, or does the trouble go all the way back…

  • Noah's Ark: 100% Unconfirmed

    October 5, 2026 · 1 hr 4 min

    The Daily Mail says the resting place of Noah's Ark has been "100% confirmed" on a hillside in Turkey, so we're lacing up our hiking boots to check the radar scans, the fundraising pitch, and what happened the last time someone drilled…

  • Old Testament God Bad, New Testament God Good?

    September 28, 2026 · 1 hr 2 min

    Open an English Bible and you'll mostly see "God" and "Lord," but underneath is a whole divine vocabulary: El, Eloah, Elohim, the tetragrammaton, and a few choice insults, including gillulim, which likely comes from a word for dung (shit…

  • Dan Tells Dan About Tel Dan

    September 21, 2026 · 1 hr 1 min

    This week, Paul finally gets his day in court — several of them, actually, and he spends nearly all of them in custody. We're going chapter and verse through Acts 23 to 26, where Paul lobs the word "resurrection" into a room full of…

  • Vancepocalypse Now (and Paul's Spiritual Gifts)

    September 14, 2026 · 54 min

    This week we're taking issue with a Vice President! JD Vance recently sat down with a very young podcaster to discuss his lifelong fascination with end-times prophecy, his suspicion that the Antichrist may already be walking among us…

  • Help Meet, Not Help Yourself

    September 7, 2026 · 59 min

    This week, we're taking issue with Mark Driscoll, who recently explained that a wife is a garden, a husband is the gardener, and — out loud, on purpose — that the finished result is "beautiful property." We dig into where that idea…

  • You Starve ... Glory Be To God?

    August 31, 2026 · 1 hr 4 min

    In three days, the earth opens up and swallows a household whole, fire consumes 250 men, and a plague takes 14,700 more — and then the very next chapter expects us to be impressed by a dead stick growing flowers. This week we're going…

  • Rod Almighty!

    August 24, 2026 · 60 min

    Get your mind out of the gutter — this week it's Aaron's rod, the staff that sprouted buds, blossoms, and ripe almonds overnight to settle once and for all who was in charge. But the text is oddly insistent that it sat in FRONT of the ark…

  • The Grandfather of the Hebrew Bible (and What Is Zion?)

    August 17, 2026 · 1 hr 3 min

    In 1929, a farmer in French-occupied Syria hit a rock with his plow and accidentally uncovered the lost city of Ugarit — and with it, a library of Bronze Age tablets that has been quietly reshaping how scholars read the Hebrew Bible ever…

  • 66 Books, 40 Authors, Zero Contradictions?

    August 10, 2026 · 1 hr 3 min

    You've seen the claim: 66 books, 40 authors, 1,500 years, three continents, three languages — and not one contradiction. This week we take that apologetic apart piece by piece, from the canon that was never fixed, to the authorship…

About the show

This ain't your pastor's Bible podcast. This is a deep interrogation of the book, and we're bringing receipts. Bible scholar Dr. Dan McClellan and atheist podcaster Dan Beecher team up to discover what the Bible actually says, what it decidedly doesn't say (even if everyone thinks it does), and explore the history of the most popular book of all time.
