Season Two of the Dear God Lettuce Pray podcast opens with one of the most misused verses in the entire bible:

"Turn the other cheek".

Some folks use it to paint Jesus as soft. Some use it to guilt you into silence. And some weaponize it so you'll tolerate things God never asked you to tolerate.

This episode breaks down what Jesus was actually teaching in Matthew 5:39, using the real historical and cultural context that most people skip. You'll hear why this verse had nothing to do with letting people walk all over you, why Jesus wasn't promoting passivity, and why this moment was a direct challenge to the systems and power structures of His day.

If you've ever wondered what this verse really meant or if you just want to understand Jesus without all the social-media theology, this conversation is for you. We jump right into biblical context, emotional maturity, and how to practice boundaries and uphold your authority without losing the heart of Christ. That and...

Jesus wasn't a doormat. In fact, He was by far the realest and toughest guy I know.
