Dude, don’t skip Matthew 1 (Part 2)

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.

Dude, don’t skip Matthew 1 (Part 1)

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.
