The Talking Donkey (S2, E5) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Balaam’s donkey sees danger that Balaam, a prophet, is too blind to recognize. Robbie, Jake, and Jared explore the humor and unsettling weight of Numbers 22, where God uses an unlikely voice to interrupt a man determined to go his own way. The story asks whether we’re willing to hear a warning when it comes from someone—or something—we didn’t expect.
Isaac Wasn’t the Sacrifice (S2, E4) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Genesis 22 is one of the Bible’s most misunderstood and criticized stories—but what if the sacrifice of Isaac isn’t ultimately about a cruel God demanding a son, but a gracious God providing a substitute? In this episode of Unhinged and Unafraid, we confront culture’s objections to Abraham and Isaac, and trace the story forward to Jesus Christ, the true sacrifice who became the propitiation for our sins.
When the Tombs Broke Open: A Survey of Matthew 27 (S2, E3) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Matthew 27:51–53 records one of the strangest and most overlooked moments surrounding the death and resurrection of Jesus: tombs breaking open and dead saints coming back to life. In this episode, Jared, Robbie, and Jake wrestle with what actually happened, why Matthew included it, and how this bizarre scene points to the earth-shaking reality that Jesus’ resurrection means death has been defeated.
When Evil Doesn’t Make Sense: Wrestling with the Problem of Evil (S2,E2) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why does God allow evil and suffering—and how do we trust Him when we don’t understand what He’s doing? In this episode of Unhinged and Unafraid, Jared, Robbie, and Jake wrestle honestly with the problem of evil, the questions it raises, and how we can come to grips with a broken world while still resting in the goodness, wisdom, and sovereignty of God.

From his pride, failures, and legendary feats of strength to his final act of sacrifice, they explore how Samson’s story ultimately points beyond himself to Jesus Christ—the true and greater Deliverer who conquered through His death.
