Easter’s Pagan (kind of), Words Change, and the KJV Is Horrible

Episode Summary

We’re talking pagan goddesses, changing language, and why the King James Version is definitely not the most accurate Bible translation. Gabie (our favorite linguist) joins to unpack the pagan origins of the word ‘Easter,’ how meanings shift over time, and why ‘thou shalt not’ doesn’t mean what you think it means anymore. Spoiler: English has evolved—and so should your theology.
