Episode Synopsis

In this episode, hosts Greg Richter and Laura J. Axelrod dive into the Missouri pastor who claims he’s cracked the code on biblical marriage—declaring that Scripture doesn’t prohibit multiple wives and proudly “marrying” a second one who’s now carrying his eighth child. Laura takes a decidedly dim view of his creative theology, while Greg breaks down the biblical and historical context that this pastor seems to have… skipped. Together, they explore the red flags, the cult-ish vibes, and the insanity that inevitably comes with a man trying to turn the Bible into a permission slip for polygamy.Engineered and edited by Greg RichterProduced by Laura J.
