REVERENT and REBELLIOUS Ep. #49 - WEIRD THINGS IN THE BIBLE #3 - SAMSON!

Here's a cute little story you heard in Sunday School - SAMSON - the strongest man who ever lived! For some reason - unbeknownst to anyone - he was endowed with super-human strength, and it's all tied to - his HAIR? This is a story that starts weird - gets weirder - and ends super weird! Samson is strong - chosen by God - anointed in the womb - but it turns out for most of the story he is also a pompous narcissistic fool! He achieves greatness and renown - only to have it undone by a sultry woman named Delilah - then wins a crowning victory over Israel's nemesis while also killing himself! This one will leave you in awe of God's ability to work His purpose through the most unlikely people - and scratching your head!

This was such as good episode. New best episode to date! I have followed along in my bible as yall read and cross-referenced and looked stuff up. Really meaty and thought provoking commentary gentlemen! Kudos! Thank you greatly!

I almost cringed whilst watching this episode. The moxie of the folks that were back talking and second guessing the Lord, then completely disregarding his instructions. Talk about convicting! Thankfully the Lord is patient, really patient. Oh wait, there is a Dove bar and cup of coffee in the kitchen that is right in my eyes. BRB…

I never knew the saying “plowing with my heifer” was from the Bible!

I remember the old Victor Mature movie and it was pretty accurate with what it covered, but there was a lot I didn’t know. God uses imperfect people and the Bible is full of those stories. They make me realize ‘I’m not so bad!’ Loved the reference to Bone Tomahawk because I have never talked to anyone else that saw that movie. I look forward to Revelation.

I tried to find podcast on Apple and failed. I will try to get one of the kids in family to help me in the next 30 days!
