Episode 224 The Mount of Transfiguration (Luke 9:28-45)

This week, BibleWorm reads Luke 9:28-45. As the gospel begins to speak of Jesus’s departure, we climb deep into his connection with the folks he meets up on the mountain -- not only to their shared mountain theophanies, but also to the unexpected ways that each of their days on earth came to an end. We feel for the disciples, who just can’t manage to really take in the world-changing things they are seeing and hearing. And we can’t help but picture the mom from The Goldbergs up there with them, bedazzling Jesus’s robe and offering everyone a cheese tray.
