It Matters No.1 - Meet Esther Followwill-Johnson Sep 24, 2026

Show notes

Truth matters. It’s easy as Christians to interpret scripture based on our own experiences and feelings. Esther and Elizabeth, both avid Bible students, discuss a variety of issues and ask, ‘What does God actually say about this, and how does that practically impact our lives?’ Join them as they consider what it looks like to redefine life on God’s terms, and the freedom that follows when you’re rooted in the word, and powered by the Holy Spirit.

It Matters [Season 3.14] - Deconstruction, Christian Satire + “Woke Jesus.” Sep 24, 2026

Show notes

Get ready to deconstruct the deconstruction movement! On this episode we interviewed satirist, scholar and Bible teacher Gabriel Finochio of Theos University.
We discuss the origin of deconstruction (with a bit of philosophy and history along the way!), the difference between healthy doubts and destructive doubts… And how everything always comes back to the LOGOS (if you don’t know what that means- tune in!)
And since Gabriel is the mind and meme-creator behind the hit @WOKEJESUSCHRIST account on Instagram, we discuss satire and how far is too far when it comes to taking jabs at progressivism.
Come look at all things deconstruction, as we consider how we as the body of Christ can best respond to this troubling trend.
