Episode: Episode 39: Jesus Yells And A Tree Dies
Description: Peter asks Pastor Andrew if Jesus ever got REALLY angry, which prompts a discussion of the story of Jesus cursing a fig tree in the gospel of Matthew. Understanding this story in the proper context of the time brings about reflection on the symbol of oppression that fig tree represented, and a greater understanding of the parable brings us to connect it to other such symbols in our own time.
