DAVID & BATHSHEBA: The discourse (with April Ajoy)

<p>Hello! Let&#39;s sprint through a big (but action-packed) portion of the Book of Samuel and then focus on <strong>the story of King David and Bathsheba</strong>.</p> <ul> <li>Almost everything you&#39;ve ever heard about this story has <strong>nothing to do with what&#39;s actually in the Bible</strong>, but what else is new? </li> <li>Around the 40-minute mark, we&#39;re joined by <strong>creator April Ajoy (of </strong><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@aprilajoy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>TikTok</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href="https://www.secure.instagram.com/aprilajoy/?hl=en-gb" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Instagram</strong></a><strong>, the </strong><a href="https://pod.co/evangelicalish" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Evangelicalish</strong></a><strong> podcast, and more)</strong> to discuss the way this story <em>constantly</em> gets argued about by the internet&#39;s angry Christian men. Plus we talk <strong>Rapture trauma, childhood persecution fantasies, and other fun stuff!!!</strong> To be clear, this is the fun part of the episode.</li> <li>Let&#39;s also mostly wrap up <strong>the story of David</strong>, a boy who became a kingpin seemingly parodied by his own propaganda and just about the weirdest guy ever to pick as a supposed model for Jesus. His story&#39;s not quite done, but next time, we&#39;ll turn toward the original Finance Instagram bro: King Solomon.</li> </ul> <p>Intro song: k.d. lang&#39;s cover of &quot;Hallelujah&quot;</p> <p>Thank you for listening!
