In this episode, I’m joined by Merrill Greene, author of The Weirdness of God, to discuss why many parts of Scripture feel strange, surprising, or even uncomfortable to modern readers—and why that may actually be a good thing.

Throughout the conversation, we explore what Greene means by “the weirdness of God” and why Christians often feel the impulse to smooth over the more mysterious or challenging aspects of the biblical narrative. From supernatural elements and difficult passages to the ways God’s character and actions resist being reduced to modern expectations, this discussion invites believers to rediscover the depth and strangeness of the biblical worldview.

Rather than attempting to domesticate God into something predictable or culturally comfortable, Greene argues that Scripture consistently presents a God who transcends human categories and expectations. Embracing that reality, rather than avoiding it, can deepen our faith and sharpen how we read the Bible.

This episode is a thoughtful exploration of biblical mystery, the limits of human understanding, and why the “weird” parts of the Bible may actually point us toward a richer and more faithful understanding of God.
