Together, they explore the historical, theological, and cultural dimensions of slavery as portrayed in Scripture—challenging long-held assumptions and confronting misinterpretations that have echoed through centuries.
Brandon shares the inspiration behind his book and walks listeners through key biblical texts that have been used to justify slavery, offering a fresh, rigorous analysis that reveals a radically different narrative. The conversation dives deep into the moral and spiritual implications of bondage, freedom, and justice in the biblical context, and what it means for believers today.
Whether you're a scholar, a seeker, or someone wrestling with tough questions about faith and history, this episode invites you to rethink what the Bible really says about slavery—and why it matters now more than ever.
