22: John Hagee & Christian Zionism
We're back! To kick off season 3, we are spending some time discussing the topic of Christian Zionism. We will talk about its influence in Israel and one of its biggest proponents, John Hagee. We hope that this discussion will contribute to a richer understanding of how influential Evangelical Christianity is, even outside the United States.

Today we take a break from our regular programming to talk about the silly phenomenon of Christian diets. Take a journey with us as we explore the Daniel Fast, or Daniel Plan as it is also called.

Customer Reviews
Challenging belief systems tactfully!
Great honest discussions about religion and fun intellectual banter. Overall a very well done production. Looking forward to seeing where Ellen and Madie take this project!
Very amateurish
Not well researched host seem pretty great concept but poorly executed
Love it
Ellen and Maddie go deep into religious figures that I didn’t know much about, but have had such influence on life in America. Love hearing them discuss these weirdos and their humor!
