In this episode I explore the interaction between Jesus and the Roman Centurion with my good friend Samuel French. Samuel has a unique perspective when it comes to the Bible and doesn't allow boxed thinking to limit his views. He's also a lot of fun to chat with! Why does Jesus praise the faith of this Empire employee? Why is this story here? Jesus doesn't ever seem to let us decide who is in and who is out. He always makes space for the nuance of being human.
