    Ep. 78 - Don't Mind the MAGA: The Return of NRP!

    Oh boy, ya'll done messed up. Brian and Blake have returned from the podcast grave fatter, hairier, and tattooier? More tattooed? Anyway we're back to try to wrap our heads around the mayhem we've seen since the election. Christians sure do love the "Chosen One", but is it idol worship? We're diving head-first into this controversy just like the good ol' days, so enjoy! *We do not own the music used in this episode and is strictly used for purposes of commentary and review*

    Ep. 76 - Black Lives Need To Matter

    *Originally Aired June 5, 2020* These are scary times. In the midst of a global pandemic, more videos have surfaced of senseless killings that resulted from racial profiling. In this episode, we celebrate the lives of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and others who’s time was cut short in such devastating ways.

    Ep. 75 - Losing My Religion: Hawk Nelson’s Singer No Longer Believes In God

    Well, it happened again. Another Christian musician is claiming that they don’t believe in God anymore. And as usual, the response from the Christian community is very negative. Instead of hoping for the best for Jon Steingard (lead singer of Hawk Nelson), some fans are turning their backs on the band and getting rid of all their music. We’ll get into why we think this is a common occurrence these days, try to dissect his decision to turn away from Christianity, and our thoughts on obligations in the faith. Also, YOU CAN GO TO CONCERTS AGAIN...if you have a fancy hazmat suit. Bring on the summer festivals!! **we do not own any of the music used in this episode and no copyright infringement is intended**
