Ep. 48 What Would Jesus Wear?
There's so much we get wrong about clothing and dress in the 1st Century. Did Jewish people dress differently than gentiles? No. Did most men have long hair and beards? No. Did Jesus and the disciples rock sandals with socks? Yes!

To hear more from Katie, check out her podcast Gods & Moviemakers about the best and worst Bible movies.
