Episode 139 - Haggai
To EL and Back
As we continue through the "minor" prophets, we get to the strange case of Haggai. His story, much like the pronunciation of his name is open to debate. Join Bael and Riff as they dig into this often overlooked but in truth quite interesting book of the Bible.

Episode 138 - Micah
To EL and Back
As we continue through the "minor" prophets we get to one with a lot to say, and even more authorship concerns. Micah was both unique and yet cut from the same cloth as his contemporaries. He says mostly the same things as the others, but boy does he do it with style. Join Bael & Riff as they take a look at that style.

Episode 137 - Jonah Redux
To EL and Back
Join Bael & Riff as they revisit a topic from the early days of the show. It's time to examine Jonah again and see if this fish story adds up any better now.

Episode 136 - Obadiah
To EL and Back
Obadiah is the shortest book in the Old Testament. A scant handful of pages that are greater than the sum of their parts. Join Bael and Riff for a look inside this interesting little book.

Episode 135 - Joel
To EL and Back
The book of Joel is one of those books that almost everyone who attends church has heard a sermon from, but can't really tell you what it was about. Have no fear, Bael and Riff are on the case. Join them and take a look at one of the only 'Minor Prophets' that we're certain we're pronouncing correctly.

Episode 134 - Habakkuk
To EL and Back
The book of Habakkuk is one of the few "Minor Prophets" that gets a bit of play from the traditional Christian set. They love his end of the world prophecy of doom. Don't get us wrong, we love impending doom as much as anyone, but there's a lot more going on here than most people realize. Join Bael and Riff as they look for the non doom related portions of this ancient text.

Episode 133 - The Man from Judah
To EL and Back
We take a pause in our exploration of the minor prophets to talk about one of the more obscure and bizarre OT Bible stories. This story reads like classic western. Saddle up with Riff and Bael.

Episode 132 - Hosea
To EL and Back
The book of Hosea, like the rest of the minor prophets, isn't read enough. The insights are incredible, and then of course there's the slut shaming on supernatural SA. Yeah, you read that right.

Episode 131 - Nahum
To EL and Back
This week Riff takes us to a very uncomfortable place. Usually, translation station is a fun stop, but it'll be a little darker this week. Help Bael cope with the bad news by joining him in hearing this insanity.

Episode 130 - Zechariah
To EL and Back
Our 2nd minor prophet is Zechariah, another guy that you may have heard of, but probably know nothing about. He's a little more upbeat than Amos, not that it would be hard.
info_outlineAmerica just had a birthday, so we thought we'd take a look at the religious views (or lack thereof) of the founding fathers. We also decided that it was time to have a guest, and Bael's brother Thomas was kind enough to share his knowledge with us. Join us as we ask the classic question, was the United States founded as a christian country?
