Episode: July 21: Psalm 52, 53, and 54; Ezra 9; 2 Timothy 4
Description: It would be great if we could make the Gospel say what we wanted, wouldn't it? But that isn't the way it works, and we should avoid teachers who always seek to "tickle our ears." As Paul goes through his list of companions who have wronged him, it is clear that he hasn't been concerned about impressing anyone. He preaches the unfiltered Jesus, and that is the call of all disciples.
