  • Episode 712, Theology of Glory vs Theology of the Cross

    Just listened to the interesting episode 712, the New Fundamentalism. In one form or another, the topic has been a common theme since Trump 45, and yet I’ve never heard from anyone on any podcast, etc., frame the question of power vis-a-vis Christianity as framed in Lutheran theology: the Theology of Glory and the Theology of the Cross. What we’ve been seeing over the past 10 years is the eager embrace by Christians of the Theology of Glory. I’d like to see an episode on this topic.

  • Stopped Listening

    I listened to the show for a while drawn in initially by the man who created VeggieTales and I stayed for the thoughtful commentary from graduates of some fine institutions of learning. I stopped listening when Skye started saying whole groups of people are bad based upon their region, race, and vehicle preference. They need to broaden their connections beyond midwest/northern and liberal. They seem to really live in a bubble, and clearly do not understand the perspective of or diversity of t... more

  • Though much of the podcast is American news, for those international listeners, there is also entertaining "animal news", "news of the butt", and "what could possibly go wrong" as occasional segments; meditations on Christian teaching; and interviews (often of authors releasing new books).

  • A little constructive criticism…

    Love the show and all the other Holy Post shows, especially Esau’s show. My only issue is at the end of some of the episodes, Skye will interrupt the interview and say if we want to listen to the other half of the interview that we have to subscribe to their Patreon account, which I have no problem with.. the problem is that he says the interview was too long to fit into the show, which, (in my opinion) is really disingenuous to say.

    I listen to other podcasts that are literally 4 hours long, s... more
