Hold the milk, put back the sugar as we dive into the spiritual history of the most important meal of the day, breakfast. Join Resident Bible Scholar Erin Moon at the breakfast buffet as she explores the boozy breakfasts of days past, the scandalous origins of cereal, and what it would be like to have Jesus himself cook you breakfast. Pour yourself a cup of coffee, gather around the table and prepare to never look at breakfast the same way again.
DISCLAIMER: This episode comes with a content warning as there is a surprising amount of information regarding self-pleasure throughout the history of breakfast (so maybe don’t listen with young ears around).
