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.

  • Funny and entertaining.

    I love listening to these guys. They host thoughtful guests from all age groups and the discussions range from heavy philosophy to hilarious comedy. I appreciate their polished film critiques, and I have even pursued watching some of their higher-rated horror flicks. I’m surprised by how much I enjoy following along with movies I wouldn’t otherwise watch. Many of the discussions tie to their faith, but they do it carefully and thoughtfully so I doubt anybody would feel alienated. My favorit... more

  • The FOG is the GOAT

    Like walking out of the Slaughtered Lamb, The FOG podcast surprises you—fortunately not with getting ripped to shreds by a werewolf, but with hilarity and much-needed theological death - I mean depth.

    The balance of comedy, love of the genre, and tying everything in with theology is so unique. The hosts’ care for this medium comes through like blood through elevator doors—overwhelming and undeniable.

    The power of Christ compels you—to listen to this podcast!
