Season 12, Episode 4: Herod
If you thought villains were only in the Old Testament, then just wait until you hear this episode as we turn a corner into the New Testament to deep dive Herod. In this episode, we take a look at this shady ruler and find out why he was so afraid of a little baby and the great lengths that he went to preserve his throne. Join us as we revisit some beloved characters from previous seasons while unpacking the biggest bad guy of the Christmas story.
