  • Christ is Giving Body
    Nov 10 2024

    Consideration for Jesus’ body typically starts and ends with it hanging from a cross, but what about the real body of Jesus? What about the years when Jesus had acne and didn’t know what to do with his arms? Dare we ask (Yass we do) what happened to Jesus’ foreskin?

  • Gotta Keep 'Em Separated
    Oct 27 2024
