S1:E40 EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode, Adam and Lindsey discuss Matthew 21: 23- 32. Some of the chief priests and elders demand of Jesus, “What gives you the right?!” What gives Jesus the right to overturn the Temple, turn the world upside-down, and create a new order that centers the marginalized? Adam and Lindsey and friends talk about what authority is, how John the Baptist and Jesus both challenged established authorities without using violence, and why prostitutes and tax collectors are first in the Kingdom of God!
