"All things are permissible for me," is not a phrase that would have sounded uncommon to the ears of first century Corinth.  Finding out who used this phrase in Roman culture and for what purposes continue to help us understand how the great lie of superiority was infecting the Corinthian church and how Paul was discipling them through it. Understanding both the problem and they ways that Paul continues to work towards the solution are vital to us finding our way biblically through our own modern version of the great lie.

But first, Michael and Jason have a little fun talking about resurrecting mammoths and why Michael's mom is a little peeved with him after listening to a previous episode. They also discuss the reality of making mistakes as biblical teachers and the need for an ongoing pursuit of humility, as well as the important and relevant lessons from another very popular podcast.

The serious discussion begins at 17:30.
