PODCAST| Did You Hear The One About

A Bug Eating King Maker?

[Podcast]

By Pastor Vinnie & Jonathan Martin

Explore with us one of the most bizarre Bible characters in the New Testament. John the Baptist was born into privilege but threw it all away to be an ascetic hermit. What would make him do this and how is it connected to the Historical Jesus? In this episode, we explain the reasons behind John’s massive popularity not only in his day but even in various religious movements still in play today! John is certainly extremely unique in appearance, lifestyle, and mission. But the question remains, why did Jesus call this hermit bug-eating sage the greatest prophet of all time?

About Seasons Two:

While season 1 is still in the archives, for those who want to review it, each season of this podcast is a little be different than the last. Last season I (Pastor Vinnie) focused on mostly stand-alone topics.
He had occasional guests yet, he was the main presenter. This season we are changing things up. Our focus for this full season is the historical Jesus; including his culture, people, political situation, and geographical footprint. We are joined by Jonathan Martin who is my new co-host for the season!
