Friends, this time we get to talk to a new friend, W. Scott McAndless.

W. Scott McAndless is an ordained minister with the Presbyterian Church in Canada. He lives and works in Cambridge, Ontario in Canada.

About a decade ago, Scott wrote and published the book “Caesar’s Census, God’s Jubilee,” which offered a new interpretation of the nativity story as told in the Gospel of Luke. As a part of promoting this book he started up a podcast. During the first season he told stories based on Luke’s nativity but he enjoyed that so much that he continued to retell Bible stores drawn from all over the book. The Retelling the Bible podcast is now in its eighth season and offers a rather unique collection of Bible stories, many of which you have likely never heard of before – like, for example, the stories of Rizpah or Sheerah warrior princess. It also includes many better known stories, but they are told in such a way to help you to see them in a new light.

This week, we get to talk to Micha Belong.

Micah is a queer leftist minister who was raised in a fundamentalist cult, read the Bible for themselves, and realized they had to choose between the religion they were raised in or a radical new faith. You can join their alternative church for folks left on the outside at The Llama Pack or listen to them on the leftist Bible study podcast The Word in Black and Red.
