  • My favorite

    I can’t think of anyone who’s been more influential in my theological/life outlook than PZ over the last few years. He’s so funny, so insightful, so interesting, and he’s been so kind, gracious, and encouraging to me. He’s wonderful, and so is his podcast.

  • What?

    I have never listened to someone so out of touch with the concept of the power of the grace of God than this man. Don’t waste your time. Antiquated religious ideas quite literally spat into a microphone.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 412 - "The Searchers"
Q: How does the ending's ambiguity affect your interpretation of Ethan's path?
The hosts and Zoll converge on the idea that Ethan's ultimate choice to refrain from returning inside the house represents a continuing, inward journey toward reconciliation with God, rather than a full conversion, leaving room for personal growth and ongoing seeking.
Episode 404 - A New Demographic? (Pt. 2)
Q: What are some of the impasses that you would say younger people in their 40s and 50s run into?
Hewes lists business, family, and relationship-related impasses as common issues faced by younger people.
Episode 404 - A New Demographic? (Pt. 2)
Q: Now, Hewes, at this point in your life, how do you see the question of communicating to our beloved ones who are in the second third?
Hewes shares that he finds it tempting to give advice but feels it doesn't truly connect with people; instead, he believes to connect on a deeper level involves addressing impasses and failures.
