Hi, Martha and Grant,
I love the show!
“Take the devil out of it” I had never heard of this expression before either, but it brought to mind the Cupbearer’s position that is mentioned in the Bible and I wondered if this had anything to do with it? I am copying a link to something I found on the definition of a cupbearer. https://www.biblestudytools.com/dictionary/cupbearer/
No idea if this is actually where it came from, but when I was listening to the podcast, it just sounded like it could be related.
Thanks!
