Faith and the Horror genre may seem to be opposites, but every week Reed and Nathan put them in dialogue together. Join us for conversations about the things that haunt us and the things that heal us, explorations at the intersection between faith and fear, where we examine what scares us, in order to find what saves us.

  • Smart, Funny, Strangely Warm

    Five stars, easy. Fear of God is smart, funny, warm, and genuinely one of my favorite podcasts. I came for the horror film chats but then the heart, the faith, the laughter, and the insight about art and what it means to be human, is power. The hosts are fantastic across the board, and the women on the show bring so much wit, insight, warmth, and personality. I listen to laugh, to think, and to feel connected to the world through art. Truly a special podcast.

    I love the regular hosts but NOT the ghoul scouts… they are awful! The sound quality is not only terrible but their content is even worse.
