S2E15 - What the Heck is Hell?

Sat, 09 Oct 2021 12:00:56 -0000

Apologies for the quietness in the audio when Mason or John talk. We added a new microphone to our repertoire that messed up our usual audio settings. We'll get better eventually!

Hell is a difficult subject, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth discussing. We brought back John Duncan to join our first of two Hell-based discussions! Join us as we discuss the Universalist and Purgatory views of Hell!

S2E14 - Forgive Our Sin of Tardiness

Sat, 25 Sep 2021 12:00:36 -0000

We're still alive!

S2E13 - It's My Morality and I'll Try if I Want To

Sat, 11 Sep 2021 11:00:32 -0000

Death to pimento cheese.

John Duncan remains with us as we continue our discussion on philosophical worldviews and how we, as Christians, should handle them. Are Christians good people? Can nonbelievers be good? What is truth? Join us this week as we discuss concepts we're barely qualified to talk about!

S2E12 - I Think, Therefore I Am Blessed

Sat, 28 Aug 2021 11:00:43 -0000

Fists firmly placed under chin, let's think.

As wielders of ultimate Truth, Christians should never fear speaking to people with alternative worldviews. Paul knew this, and so should we! Join us this week, "us" being Matthew, Tanner, and special guest John Duncan, as we discuss philosophical worldviews and how the modern Christian can engage in discourse relating to the world around us.

S2E11 - Burn the Heretic

Sat, 31 Jul 2021 12:00:23 -0000

When does belief become blasphemy?

We all disagree, on everything under the sun. But can disagreements exist within the religious circles we operate within? At what point do you point at someone you feel is wrong and shout "HERETIC!"? What even is a heresy? Join us this week as we discuss some "real" heresies, weird theological concepts, and have an all around good time trash talking each others' weird biblical takes.

S2E10 - Terrible Times in Heaven

Sat, 17 Jul 2021 12:00:15 -0000

Musk. Ox.

The internet is kind of a big deal. Ideas, concepts, beliefs, and civil (and uncivil) discourse is exchanged every day on it. It's hard to get through the day without being forced to use it. As luck would have it, in the past decade, memes have usurped most forms of internet-based communication; and, since arguing with people on the 'net is a profession as old as computers, Christians and athiests have been trading electronic blows all the while. This week, we take a look at some "Athiest Memes" and discuss the theology (or lack thereof) behind them. Join us as we discuss Freddy Krueger, the need for internet regulation, and more!

S2E9 - There Will Be Violence!

Sat, 03 Jul 2021 12:00:06 -0000

Or will there?

The Bible is a pretty violent book, filled with bloody battles and scenes. If God's people (especially in the Old Testament) were so seemingly bloodthirsty, how are we, as modern followers of God, to regard violence? Can Christians act in self-defense? Can we own guns? Is war condoned by God, or is it heresy? We don't have all the answers, but join us as we butt heads over these topics!

We also have a TikTok, but I don't have a link on hand. It should be linked on our other social media.

S2E8 - Tradition, Progression, and You!

Sat, 19 Jun 2021 12:00:22 -0000

How much change is too much change?

Thanks to original sin, people are fallen; therefore, people tend to be wrong. It's easy to look at Jesus' experience with the Pharisees and identify the overly-enthusiastic adherence to law over respect to God, but how do we identify it today? When should we reform? Is "progressive" a bad word? Is "traditionalist" just another word for "Pharisaic"? Join us today as we discuss these questions and more!

S2E7 - What's For Dinner?

Sat, 05 Jun 2021 12:00:15 -0000

What does a biblical diet look like?

As it turns out, not very consistent. There are many different examples of meat and/or plant-based culinary goodness throughout scripture, so we decided to dive in on the subject. Join us with our special guest and resident hunting aficionado Caleb Mackie as we discuss food, hunting, and a bit of church history!
