Part 2 of Jesus’ genealogy according to Matthew.More power abuse.More chaos.Same family.From David to Solomon to Abijah, this episode follows a kingdom unraveling while a promise refuses to die.

I opened Matthew 1 and immediately skipped it.After a bit, I thought… hmm, I should probably go back.Girl, I am so glad I did.This episode covers only the first paragraph of Jesus’ genealogy, and it is full of Drama, outsiders, messy systems, and a Judah and Tamar situation I was not prepared for 👀Come with me, as I deep dive into this giant list of names.I’m not approaching the Bible as a believer. I’m just reading the Bible slowly, asking questions, and reacting to what’s actually there.Join me!If something doesn’t sound right, tell me. I’m reading this out loud, not pretending I have it all figured out.
