The Bible Is Weirder Than You Think. See What You've Missed
A ghostly hand. A witch who summons the dead. Talking donkeys. A wheel made of eyes.
Let’s be honest: some parts of the Bible are just plain weird, and they usually get skipped over in Sunday School. But we think the "weird stuff" is actually some of the most important.
​
We created Bizarre Bible: Unfiltered Stories—a free discussion series that digs into the gritty, weird, supernatural, and academic side of the text. To get you started, we’re giving away our most popular guide:
​
Jonah: Swallowed by a Sea Monster?!
This discussion guide covers:
-
The Reality: We dive into the 2021 true story of a lobster diver swallowed by a whale.
-
The Context: Why Jonah would rather die than visit a city that built pyramids out of human heads.
-
The Mystery: Was it a "great fish," or was Jonah dealing with a primordial Sea Monster?
-
What Everyone Misses: The "big fish" is what's remembered most about this story, but the most stunning takeaway is actually how and why Jonah died.
Built for Better Conversations.
Whether you’re leading a small group or just curious, every guide is designed to be fresh and high-engagement:
-
Modern Paraphrase: We retell the story in plain English so everyone is on the same page.
-
Deep questions: Fun and deep questions to generate the best conversation for any setting.
-
The Context Clues: We use real research from scholars (think Michael Heiser and Tim Mackie) to unlock the hidden meaning of the story.
