Episode 127: Violent Religion, Video Games, and Mars! Nov 11, 2014

Show notes

Is religion inherently violent? Will video games in the future only make us angrier? Can evangelicals train lawyers in Canada? And why would six people go to Hawaii to spend 8 months in a plastic bubble? (The answer has something to do with Mars.) All this and more on the podcast this week!

Episode 126: Kentucky and Ken Ham's Ark with Guest Drew Dyck! Nov 04, 2014

Show notes

The state of Kentucky is messing with Ken Ham's ark, and Berkeley students are messing with Bill Maher's commencement speech. Plus Malaysia bans Halloween for being (wait for it) TOO CHRISTIAN! And some final thoughts about the cautionary tale that is Mark Driscoll.

Episode 125: Puppies, Islam, and Legalism! Oct 28, 2014

Show notes

An atheist calls Phil's work "contemptible" and then doesn't want to talk about it, then a Malaysian man in hot water for encouraging Muslims to pet puppies inspires a deeper conversation about legalism and the world's second most popular religion. It's sure to be a bumpy ride on the podcast this week...

Episode 124: Mark Driscoll, John Dickson, and Peter Enns! Oct 21, 2014

Show notes

A bad week for Mark Driscoll. Hillsong Church doesn't want to talk about gays. Friend of the show John Dickson threatens to eat his Bible, and theologian Peter Enns wants us to take it less literally. Or seriously. Or something. On the podcast this week!

Episode 123: The Book of Job with Guest John Walton! Oct 14, 2014

Show notes

Old Testament scholar and friend of the show John Walton wrote the book (well, 450 page commentary) on everyone's favorite book of the Bible, Job! What? It's not your favorite book? Well maybe it deserves a deeper look! Plus a report from the Department of How NOT to Share Your Faith.

Episode 122: Ben vs. Bill, "Christian" Harry Potter, and Atheistic Christianity! Oct 07, 2014

Show notes

Ben Affleck takes on Bill Maher, Harry Potter converts to Christianity, and Frank Schaeffer (son of Francis) takes on Christianity Today editors whilst arguing for a new "atheistic" Christianity. It's crazy, kooky fun on the podcast! (And not a single butt joke.)

Episode 121: The History of Bob and Larry Sep 30, 2014

Show notes

It's been an interesting week for Bob and Larry in veggie-land, inspiring Phil to tell the whole story of how he and his characters parted ways, and the many attempts made over the last decade to bring them back together. It's a story we guarantee you've never heard before!

Episode 120: Bad Behavior and Levitical Atonement with Camerin Courtney! Sep 23, 2014

Show notes

Journalist/blogger Camerin Courtney joins Phil and Skye on the podcast to talk about men behaving badly in the NFL and on college campuses, plus an app that brings levitical atonement to a smartphone near you!

Episode 119: The NFL, the Dalai Lama, and Bill Maher! Sep 16, 2014

Show notes

The NFL is having a bad week, no more Dalai Lamas, and Bill Maher goes on a pro-Christian rant?!? Truly the end of western civilization is at our door!

Episode 118: British Values, Neuroscience, and Discipleship?! Sep 09, 2014

Show notes

Why is British PM David Cameron on a search for "British values?" What does neuroscience have to do with discipleship? And why is "chunking" Skye's new favorite word? All that - plus "fatal buttocks injections" - on this week's podcast!
