b'In the second episode of our series on Matthew we cover chapters 3 and 4 and there is so much richness and goodness here. We really see Jesus as intentionally political and there is a theme of politics throughout these texts. We dig into what it means to follow the Kingdom of Heaven/God when you are living under empire, what discipleship and following the teachings of Jesus looked like in the time of Matthew and what it means to us now. Reading the Bible doesn\\u2019t have to be boring when you start to tease out some of the interesting bits here like the political implications of the word \\u201cworship\\u201d and how the temptations of Jesus by Satan were directly connected to the view a marginalized group had of the Roman Empire at the time!\\xa0\\nLinks mentioned:\\n\\n\\nRituals For Resistance & Resilience:\\xa0https://www.queertheology.com/rituals/\\n\\n\\nScary Things Podcast Series:\\n\\n\\nScary Things: The Great Snatch and the End of the World\\n\\n\\nScary Things: The Devil and His Many Names\\n\\n\\nScary Things: The Fiery Pit\\n\\n\\nScary Things: Will You End Up In Hell?\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nGrowing up Suburban Jewish & Finding Your Faith With Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg\\n\\n\\nWhat\\u2019s The Deal With The Pigs?: Mark Week 2\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nHere are the synoptic gospel images side-by-side in columns for your reference. \\n\\n\\n \\n\\nJoin the online community\\xa0Sanctuary Collective.\\nIf you want to support the Patreon and help keep the podcast up and running, you can learn more and pledge your support at patreon.com/queertheology.\\n\\n \\nThe post Jesus is Political: Matthew Chapters 3 & 4 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
