This week we explore one of the most common questions from our congregation: What does the Bible say about tattoos and piercings? We start by establishing the authority and reliability of Scripture, then dive into the only verse that explicitly mentions tattoos—Leviticus 19:28.
Discover why understanding biblical context is crucial and learn the principle that "the Bible is written for us, not to us." We'll unpack how the Old Testament laws were given to separate the Israelites from pagan practices, and how Jesus fulfilled the law, freeing us from ceremonial restrictions.
The real question isn't whether you can get a tattoo, but why you want one. We'll discuss practical guidelines for Christians considering body art, including considerations about artisanship, permanence, witness, and heart motives. This episode will help you navigate cultural decisions through a biblical worldview with both grace and wisdom.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
