We also explore a controversial look at whether Judas was as bad of a person as we tend to believe him to be based on the Gospel's account of him. Thanks for checking out Salt + Rock.

We pick up this episode with Samson hiding in a cave after a huge victory (nope, that's accurate.) We get to see his own people turn against him, God give him another big W, a little "flair for the dramatic" when he's parched, sex, demolition, love & more sex, betrayal, and more. We also see through Samson's "Stadium Tour" how often our restoration only comes through our sacrifice. ***Note*** this episode does contain adult undertones (sex-talk and death), so even though it may not actually be "explicit" we tagged it that way to keep younger listeners protected. Thanks for checking out Salt + Rock.

In this episode we look into the first half of Samson's life. As the only Old Testament Judge with a full heritage story, Samson gives us much more to learn than the traditional lessons of Lust and Pride. This week we will touch on these topics: Nazarite vows, knowing your purpose, entitlement from childhood, SUPER strength, Stickey the Rat, Old Testament wedding traditions, surprise honey and riddles, nagging wives, timely forgiveness, and more. We also make up a new word: BerzerklyWe also give a shout out to our listener(s) in Sweden!!!Thanks for checking out Salt + Rock. We'd love to hear from you.

This week we conclude our conversation about Jonah. We pick up as Jonah arrives in Ninevah & we decide it's probably as large as any of the largest cities in the US. We see the citizens and king of Ninevah display true repentance, and God chooses to spare them. We relate Jonah's reaction to today's world, and our call for justice, not grace. God uses multiple avenues to prove to Jonah, and us, that he is love, and wants to have a relationship with us. We also see a clear picture of God as a provider.Thanks for checking out Salt + Rock.

In part 1 of the story of Jonah, we look into how we often avoid answering a call from God, there's always an easy way to run, how God shows he is persistent, and finally, our repentance and returning to God's calling on our lives. We take a dive into whether we think this story is factual or not, and what lead us to believe the way we do. We also discuss the physiology of what was going on before Jonah is swallowed by the fish. Thanks for checking out Salt + Rock. We'd love to hear from you.

In the conclusion of the Peter series, we see how Peter's faith has now become rock solid, how his ministry works in tandem with Paul's, and how he addresses hard topics within the Church. We discuss the often quoted "Wives submit to your husbands..." scripture, and see how it should REALLY be interpreted.Thanks for checking out Salt + Rock. We'd love to hear from you.

This week we take a quick break from our biblical character studies, and talk with our friend Eric Puryear (he's not ACTUALLY just in town to be on the podcast.) Since Eric works in/with/around cell phones and the wireless network for a living, we take the opportunity to examine how free internet access in our pockets can be a positive or negative influence on us. Thanks for checking out Salt + Rock.

In our conclusion of Aaron, we see two strong qualities of an Ally. Obedience and Support. Support doesn't always mean drawing your sword. It can be having someone's back or showing empathy. We also see how Aaron sets up his lineage to continue as priests and high priests of the tabernacle. Even though Aaron has to face consequences of the times he is disobedient, he and his future generations are called and blessed by God for how often he was obedient. Thanks for checking out Salt + Rock.

In our conclusion of the Barnabus-Paul-Timothy Ally discussion, we take a deeper dive into Paul's Protégé, Timothy. We are joined by Rich Gorecki, author of www.god-buddies.com as we discuss the parallels between Paul & Timothy, why Timothy was circumcised when Titus was not, the importance of having a faithful mother, and the idea that we should all have these 3 relationships: a mentor, a peer, and someone to pass on our legacy to. Feel free to reach out to Rich at rich@god-buddies.comThanks for checking out Salt + Rock.

We pick back up with Paul back in Tarsus. Things we learn: Paul's (new) reputation precedes him, (more) anger, church planting, Paul's new haircut & diet, Paul's roots in the Pentecostal church, shipwrecks and assassination attempts, the length of time spent while on mission journeys 2 & 3, and how being from Roman descent affected the end of Paul's life. In the final chapters of Paul's life, we also see a parallel to Jesus' life, and how an earthly citizenship compares to becoming a citizen of heaven.Note: This episode FLIES through a TON of information really quickly.
