Revelation might be the most misunderstood—and for that reason, also the most ignored—book in the entire Bible. But as weird as it feels, wrestling with Revelation can be deeply impactful. Eric and Mae get together for a special one-off bonus episode to help demystify the end of the Bible... and the world.

Introducing Spirit Stories

Dragons? Beasts? Demon Frogs? We're jumping to the last book of the Bible for a little jaunt through Armageddon. Think Revelation is confusing? You're right. But this story also paints an incredibly important picture of God and his longterm plans for the world, for dealing with evil, and for us.

Episode 5: It's The End Of The World As We Know It

A mercenary prophet, talking pack animals, and the dire consequences of fitting God into your plans. This amazing story from the Old Testament paints an unexpected picture of what disobedience to God actually looks like.

Episode 4: Balaam's Talking Donkey

Still blame Yoko for the Beatles breakup? Wait till you get a load of John Mark. But beneath the abandonment and knock-down-drag-outs, you'll find an inspiring story of persevering through failure.

Episode 3: Boy Band Breakups

Two dead guys, prostitute costumes, and seducing your father-in-law. Yeah, that's a Bible story. And underneath the rocky exterior, it says something incredible about God.

Episode 2: Judah and the Lyin'

A spy, a fat king, and a disappearing sword. It's all espionage, belly-stabbing, and poop saving the day in this incredible story from the Old Testament.

Episode 1: Ehud and the Fat King

Too Long; Didn’t Read is an irreverant look at a reverant book… it’s a podcast about the The Bible. This season, we’re uncovering the stories you didn’t learn in preschool. These aren’t cute. There aren’t coloring pages for them. They’re violent; weird; scandalous. And they’re part of the Bible for a reason. Wonder why? So do we.
