We Chat about how stories of Jesus were spread and passed down

Matt and Merry chat about the oral tradition of Jesus of Nazareth before people started writing things down about him and his movement. How were the early stories of Jesus spread throughout Galilee and beyond? How were they passed down from one generation to the next?  Why were they written down?  We also chat about the January 6th hearings, our political leanings, and cheesy jokes about Matt's last name (Beers).
