About Seasons Two:
While season 1 is still in the archives, for those who want to review it, each season of this podcast is a little be different than the last. Last season I (Pastor Vinnie) focused on mostly stand-alone topics. I had occasional guests yet, I was the main presenter. This season we are changing things up. Our focus for this full season is the historical Jesus; including his culture, people, political situation, and geographical footprint. I am joined by Jonathan Martin who is my new co-host for the season!
It is all about seeking Jesus on deeper theological levels.

In this episode Pastor Vinnie and Jonathan get deep into the mix of the politics and players at the time of Jesus. What were their motivations for wanting a Messiah? And how did those motivations play into how they responded to accepting or rejecting Jesus as Messiah? Did Jesus favor any of these groups? How did the way Jesus interacted with them impact His work! All of this and more is covered in depth is what most likely is our best episode yet! Listen!

Check out the major update on Season 2 that Pastor Vinnie drops in this episode!
Following the update, there is a great sermon on the day God got his heart broke when Isreal cheated on His with a golden cow. This is the story of how Mose's deep friendship with YHWH helps YHWH heal from a broken heart caused by cheating idolatrous and adulteress followers.
It's a deep look at the emotional makeup of God himself and those he lets close to his heart!
