The Man, (Not a) Myth, & Legend: The Streaker of Gethsemane

Welcome to Bible Stories for the Lame—the podcast series for people who love Jesus but sometimes get lost in the weird parts of Scripture.

In today’s episode, we’re heading to the Garden of Gethsemane on the night of Jesus’ arrest, where things go from intense… to slightly bizarre. Someone runs away. Without clothes. And yes, it’s in your Bible.

We’ll talk about:

* What this strange moment in Mark’s Gospel might actually mean

* The connection between shame, fear, and fleeing Jesus

* Why this mysterious naked guy might be more relatable than you’d think

* And how even our messiest, most unprepared moments are still covered by Jesus

Plus, we're bringing in context from The Bible Project and The Bible Recap to make it all make sense—and not just to your brain, but to your actual life.

🎧 Pull up a seat. Laugh a little. Think a lot. Maybe clutch your linen robe.
