Consideration for Jesus’ body typically starts and ends with it hanging from a cross, but what about the real body of Jesus? What about the years when Jesus had acne and didn’t know what to do with his arms? Dare we ask (Yass we do) what happened to Jesus’ foreskin?

Yass, Jesus! is hosted by Danny Franzese and Azariah Southworth. Our producers are Ross Murray and Meredith Paulley. Sound, music, and post-production by Chris Heckman and Justin Mora. This episode was produced by the World of Wonder Podcast Network.

The First Amendment sets a boundary between church and state, a concept that seems to be losing ground here in the USA. As we gear up for a big election season, it seems timely to get a little political and discuss the old American value protecting freedom of religion.

Family shapes who we are (even those with whom we don’t have great relationships) and it’s only right to honor where we come from and value what we’ve learned from knowing ourselves and our ancestry. Today we trace lineage in the bible and in our own family trees.
