Tomorrow is launch day for Kinda Judgy: Finding Mercy for Myself and Others in Six Stories of the Bible—my new book releasing with Moody Publishers!! (Order your copy here.)
I’m celebrating by sharing something special with you…
Over the next six episodes, I’ll be sharing The Two Doors and the Merciful Judge, an allegory I wrote as a companion to Kinda Judgy. Through the imaginative setting of the Grand Courtroom of the World, we’ll revisit the same six Bible stories featured in the book—Noah, Rahab, Jonah, the sinful woman, the blind man, and the criminal on the cross—and encounter the same unchanging Judge of All.
In Part 1, we’ll enter the Grand Courtroom, notice the mysterious Mercy Door, and meet a man named Noah who walks with the Judge in the midst of a dark generation that ignores Him.
My hope is that this allegory will help you see more clearly—and love more deeply—the Judge who holds the Final Gavel.
Welcome to the Grand Courtroom of the World.

If you’re tired of being judged—or even more tired of being so judgy, grab a copy of my new book with Moody Publishers: Kinda Judgy: Finding Mercy for Myself and Others in Six Stories of the Bible.
As we step into the stories of Noah, Rahab, Jonah and others, we’ll not only get biblical clarity on judgment and mercy, we’ll encounter the One who melts our judgy hearts with His lavish mercy.

The Two Doors and the Merciful Judge
This six-part allegory is a companion to Kinda Judgy: Finding Mercy for Myself and Others in Six Stories of the Bible. Through the imaginative setting of the Grand Courtroom of the World, we’ll revisit six biblical accounts—Noah, Rahab, Jonah, the sinful woman, the blind man, and the criminal on the cross—and encounter the same unchanging Judge of All.
As each character enters the courtroom, the story explores the Bible’s unified message of judgment and mercy. Though the people and circumstances change from one story to the next, the Judge remains the same. My hope is that this allegory will help you see more clearly and love more deeply the merciful Judge before whom we will all one day stand.

By the way, my son Cade Popkin wrote all of the music that you hear on my podcast, and particularly this series. I might be biased, by I think his song “Emmaus Road” featured in this series is amazing!
