It's cool and edgy to hate on popular things, but seriously - what's going on with The Chosen? Should we be skeptical of this crazily-hugely-gigantic Christian show? Is The Chosen a modern-day golden calf? How should we think about representations of Jesus in other art forms?
How do we understand Jesus in the Old Testament? Is the whole Old Testament about Jesus? Did the prophets know what they were prophesying about? Dispensationalist Justin and I'm-Just-Trying-to-Figure-This-Out-ist Josh discuss.

Justin and Josh continue their discussion from last episode on anxiety, its source, and its biblical remedy. Matthew's account of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount helps us understand how the Son of God wants us to approach the issue. Let's take a look!
Justin's Reading List
Pick up a copy (or three) of Passions of the Heart by John D. Street if you haven't already.
Justin and Josh begin their discussion around the cause, nature, and remedy for anxiety. Culture's understanding of anxiety is fundamentally different than Scripture's, so what exactly makes it different and what should we do about it? Also, why are people's hands flailing around?
On this companion episode to episode 14, Justin and Josh continue to discuss the current situation: COVID. In this episode, they build off of the discussion about masks and tyranny and bring it home, talking about how these things impact the church specifically. They also discussed the Constitution and how we are governed by laws, not rulers.
