Dr. Owen Anderson, Head Pastor of Christ the King Reformed Church and professor of philosophy and religious studies at Arizona State University joins me to talk about his latest book Samson: a Biblical Hero.
We have been taught in sermons and Sunday School to treat Samson as just a deeply flawed and naive man full of lust and ego. Dr. Anderson explains that, despite Samson's imperfections, we may be reading between the lines to accuse him of things he may not have done.
Dr. Anderson argues that a Biblical understanding of Samson as a strong and humble hero points to Christ. Rather than blindly follow influencers like Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate who may resemble more the mixed bag stereotype of Samson we've been taught, Dr. Anderson teaches that Christian young men should see the Biblical Samson himself as a better role model.

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.
