Scripture

Matthew 25:31-46 read by Bri-anne outside the Huntsville Prison Unit (The “Walls”) in Huntsville, Texas.

Episode Synopsis

It’s Christ the King Sunday (soon). What does it mean to speak of Jesus as a “King” or a “Master”?

Special Guest Jeffrey Dale joins us to talk about his work advocating for safe consumption sites, the tension of using politically charged language to describe Jesus, and wondering what would it mean if we just took Matthew’s words at face value.
