Hello, and welcome The Brown and Serve Scrolls podcast series. We believe there are a lot of people who have bought into the idea that spirituality and religion are just no fun. And that God, in whatever way we tend to understand God, doesn’t have a sense of humor. We are also convinced that nothing could be further from the truth than that idea. So, this podcast series is devoted to presenting a very unusual and humorous collection of revamped stories, based on the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, that are amusing, enjoyable, and entertaining. And by the way, while you’re listening, you might find some insights and perspectives about life that you may not have considered otherwise.

The Creation Story
Chapter 1 - It All Had To Start Somewhere.
This story is loosely based on the first part of the creation narrative found in the book of Genesis and deals with some very interesting concepts about how and why the creation may have come about.
Chapter 2 - What Went Wrong?
This story picks up right after the creation is finished, when everything is perfect. But as it turns out, in the midst of perfect, something went wrong.
Chapter 3 - Now What Do We Do?
In this story, "Now What Do We Do" pretty much says it all, as we come to the close of the creation narrative.

Chapter 5 – Uh Oh, It Looks Like Rain

In this Episode God has a conversation with God’s Self (The Trinity) about how to deal with humanity’s failure to change its ways and become more self-giving, compassionate, and committed to making the whole creation what God planned in the beginning. The upshot of this conversation becomes God’s new plan to build a model human community starting with one person, Abram, Abraham, or Whatever His Name Was.

In this Episode, God has a conversation with God’s self (The Trinity) about how and why humanity doesn’t seem to be on board with being self-giving, compassionate, and committed to helping make the whole creation what was planned in the beginning. So, God then has a conversation with Abraham about the two of them entering into an agreement (covenant and circumcision) that will make Abraham the example and leader of a new, positive, and helpful kind of humanity. Finally, since Abe has agreed to the covenant and, reluctantly to circumcision, he and God have one more conversation. This time, it’s a negotiation about how God plans to deal with Sodom and Gomorrah.
We hope you enjoy it.
