We cover a lot in this episode. First we chat about our fall plans to participate in a charity golf tournament– last place wins a canister of tennis balls. By the end of September, we will be richer by one canister of tennis balls. We then, unplanned, process the trauma of sending our eldest daughter to kindergarten. We then get to our subject at hand–Peter confesses to Jesus that he is the king, the savior of ancient Israel that they have been waiting for. But then Jesus orders his disciples not to tell anyone what Peter just said. We ask the question, “why?” Why can’t they tell the world this good news? And we also look at how Peter’s confession has more to do with the political than the spiritual identity of Jesus. Enjoy!
