130. Persia Goes Punk (Nehemiah 5)
<p>Nehemiah 5 stands apart from the rest of the scroll. For once, the greatest threat to Jerusalem isn't an enemy outside the walls; it's the exploitation happening within them. As famine and predatory lending push the poor deeper into debt, Nehemiah confronts the wealthy in a way that would make many modern American Christians uncomfortable: by forming a mob and publicly shaming them into canceling what they're owed. </p><p>It's a chapter that forces us to wrestle with the ethics of what justice, wealth, and community responsibility are supposed to look like.</p><p>Website: <a href="https://thebibleuncut.com/">TheBibleUncut.com</a> (show notes available in the <a href="https://thebibleuncut.com/blog">blog</a> section)</p><p>Donate: <a href="https://thebibleuncut.com/support-us">TheBibleUncut.com/support-us</a></p><p>Discord:<a href="https://discord.gg/r2nDH8q9wy"> TheBibleUncutandUnfiltered</a></p><p>Email: cconn@thebibleuncut.com</p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBibleUncutandUnfiltered/">TheBibleUncutandUnfiltered</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/TheBibleUncutandUnfiltered">@TheBibleUncutandUnfiltered</a></p><p>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@bibleuncutandunfiltered">@BibleUncutandUnfiltered</a></p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2a9sqIk5igpeyh7CXxZR8A">@TheBibleUncutandUnfiltered</a></p><p>Editor: Janna Connor</p>
