So the Bible is Cool with Incest...? | S2E15

Drop Us a Message! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2544624/fan_mail/new] Why do the earliest generations in the Bible marry relatives? Was the bible endorsing incest, or are modern readers applying later laws to a completely different point in human history? In this episode of the Dear God, Lettuce Pray podcast, Santana unpacks one of the most uncomfortable and controversial questions people ask about Scripture: "So the Bible is cool with incest?" From Adam and Eve to Cain, Seth, Noah, and the generations that followed, this episode explores how humanity began according to the biblical narrative, why close-family marriages existed in the earliest stages of creation, and what changed once God established laws for Israel. This conversations breaks down the historical and theological context behind Genesis, the development of human civilization, population growth after Eden, and why later passages in the Law explicitly prohibited incestuous relationships. The episode also examines common skeptic arguments, modern misunderstandings of ancient cultures, and the difference between descriptive events in the Bible versus God's moral commands. If you've ever wrestled with difficult passages in Scripture, questioned biblical consistency, or wondered how people should approach controversial topics honestly without shallow answers, this episode is for you.

God vs. Errbody: Counterfeit Power in Egypt, Part Two | S2E14

Drop Us a Message! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2544624/fan_mail/new] (Part Two) In this episode of the Dear God Lettuce Pray podcast, hosted by Santana, we walk into ancient Egypt during the confrontation between Moses, Aaron, Pharaoh, and Pharaoh's magicians. This was a world where government, religion, magic, agriculture, medicine, priestly purity, sacred animals, the Nile, the sun and Pharaoh's throne were all connected. So when God dropped the diss track (aka when God began sending the plagues), He was confronting more than one stubborn ruler. He was exposing an entire system of false power. Exodus says Pharaoh's magicians could imitate some of the early signs. They copies the staff-serpent sign, the Nile turning to blood, and the frogs. Then Aaron struck the dust, the dust became gnats/lice, and Egypt's spiritual experts reached for their secret arts one more time. Exodus says, "but they could not". This episode unpacks Counterfeit Power in Egypt through biblical, historical, and cultural context of the Exodus plagues, and why Exodus 12:12 says God executed judgment on the gods of Egypt. Scriptures Referenced Exodus 5:2-12:12, Genesis 2:7, and 2 Timothy 3:8-9 Connect with the DGLP Podcast: Hosted by Santana Instagram: @deargodlettucepray @hellosantanaco Community: Bible Study-ish on Skool Podcast support & sponsorship inquiries: support@hellosantana.co and dglppodcast@gmail.com Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2544624/support] We want to hear from you!

Cheyenne Bryant & The Sheep that Know Her Voice | S2E13

Drop Us a Message! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2544624/fan_mail/new] People quote Scripture every day, but what happens when spiritual language starts getting used to avoid accountability instead of revealing truth? After hearing watching a show appearance with Cheyenne Bryant where she referenced, "my sheep know my voice", Santana opens up a larger conversation about discernment, church culture, and the growing habit of using God-language as emotional insulation from being questioned. This episode unpacks the deeper biblical context behind John 10 and Ezekiel 34, explores how accountability can quietly disappear once spiritual symbolism enters the room, and explains why Jesus' "Good Shepherd" language carries far more weight than most people realize. If you've ever struggled with church hurt, manipulative leadership, celebrity Christianity, weaponized Bible verses, or separating God from the people who represented Him poorly, this episode is for you. Scriptures referenced: John 10, Ezekiel 34, Acts 17:11, and James 3:1 Follow us on Instagram: @deargodlettucepray and @hellosantanaco Podcast inquiries and collaborations: support@hellosantana.co and dglppodcast@gmail.com Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2544624/support] We want to hear from you!
