What do we learn about idolatry from WALL-E, Andy Griffith, and John Calvin? This week we take a look at our idols, acknowledging the many ways we can elevate other things and downgrade the One True God. As usual, we start the episode by Finding Jesus in this week’s reading, discovering the “Anti” Anti-Christ and learning how Jesus the opposite of the Wizard of Oz. And in our Scripture du Jour, Bryan enrolls us in “Symbols 101” as Jesus explains how to interpret the book of Revelation.
