In this episode of the Pastor Potluck Podcast, Rev. Nicole Jones joins us to uncover and explain the controversies hidden in this week's lectionary readings from Matthew 22, Exodus 33, and Psalm 96. To whom do we owe taxes? Who does God choose to be merciful to? Do idols exist today?

Pastor Potluck began as a radio show for the singular purpose of reaching people in our local area who may not be online during the Corona Virus pandemic. As things began to gradually change, and most of the western world now uses the internet, even if they did not before, the radio show dropped. We missed it, though, so it has become a podcast. Enjoy!
