    651: The Jimmy Carter Cudgel & Preparing for Mass Deportations with Gabriel Salguero

    Former president and born again Christian, Jimmy Carter, died at the age of 100. As the media reflects on his legacy of public service and humanitarianism, some are contrasting Carter’s faith with that of conservative white evangelicals. Esau McCaulley says Carter is being used as a cudgel by progressives to shame their political opponents. Is he right? Skye and Phil unpack two explanations for the country’s rejection of President Carter for Ronald Reagan in 1980. Was Carter too liberal or too humble? Then, pastor and Holy Post Pundit, Gabriel Salguero, is back to talk about a second Trump administration’s plan to deport millions of undocumented immigrants, and how Christians and church leaders should hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Also this week—Phil wants to do a telethon for turtles.    Holy Post Plus Getting Schooled - Heresy 101: https://www.patreon.com/posts/119252265/   0:00 - Show Starts 3:51 - Theme Song 4:12  - Sponsor - Sundays Dog Food - Get 40% off your first order of Sundays.

    French Friday: The End of #MeToo

    The MeToo movement was a huge cultural movement—but now, many major government leaders with sexual abuse scandals under their belt seem to go under the radar—how did we get to this point?

    649: The Christmas Story Facts & Fiction with Nijay Gupta

    Merry Christmas! In celebrity conversion news, Denzel Washington got baptized at his church in Harlem just days before his 70th birthday and became a licensed minister, and New York Times columnist, David Brooks, has written about his surprising journey from agnosticism to Christianity. What do these stories tell us about our culture’s ongoing hunger for God? On the other side, David French explains why some Christians now think cruelty is acceptable. New Testament scholar, Nijay Gupta, is back to talk about what the Gospels actually say about Jesus’ birth, and what our Christmas pageants get right and very wrong about the story.

    648: Hurt & Healed by the Church with Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez

    A Catholic bishop, with a social media following second only to the Pope, is proving that dumbing down the faith is the wrong way to reach young adults. But is his celebrity status getting in the way? A new study finds the most generous people are also the most likely to consistently read the Bible. Kaitlyn talks to Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez about telling the truth to the church out of love. Her new book, “Being a Sanctuary,” is honest about the harms many churches are causing, but also shows how the church is the key to healing.

    647: The Death of Dating & Megachurch Anti-Racism with Hahrie Han

    More Americans than ever are single but they’re not happy about it. A new article in The Atlantic examines how the sexes are drifting apart, why more men are looking for a partner than women, and the side-effects of using an app rather than community to find a date. Then, political scientist Hahrie Han’s new book “Undivided” explores why the racial solidarity program at an evangelical megachurch was more successful than corporate DEI programs, and how that success created unexpected challenges for the predominantly white church. Also this week: the Swiss make an A.I. Jesus, and a Chicago school kid makes a medical breakthrough.   Holy Post Plus Bonus Interview: https://www.patreon.com/posts/117695861/   0:00 - Intro   1:08 - Show Starts   2:47 - Theme Song   3:09 - Sponsor - Sundays Dog Food - Get 40% off your first order of Sundays.

    646: The Late Great Hal Lindsey & Writing Prayers with Douglas McKelvey

    Many ideas about the end times including the role of Israel, the mark of the beast, and the rapture became popular through Hal Lindsey’s best-selling book from the 1970s, “The Late Great Planet Earth.” Lindsay died last week at 95. We discuss his legacy and how his book is still shaping the American church long after most of its theology has been debunked. Then, Kaitlyn talks to Douglas McKelvey about his series of prayer books, “Every Moment Holy.” He explains the value of using written prayers and not just spontaneous ones, and how to find God in the ordinary activities of life. Also this week—why are Bible sales way up but church attendance still declining? And 80’s orca fashion makes a comeback.   Holy Post Plus My Hill to Die On: Tipping https://www.patreon.com/posts/117227746/   0:00 - Intro   1:50 - Show Starts   3:29 - Theme Song   3:50 - Sponsor - Sundays Dog Food - Get 40% off your first order of Sundays.

    French Friday: "Nerdfest 2024"

    David French has finally watched Rings of Power season two—and he and Skye don’t quite have the same feelings about it. They compare it to House of the Dragon’s more cynical fantasy world—and why Dune is maybe closer to Tolkien than Martin. They also talk about the Penguin crime drama series, the upcoming Superman movie, and Silo.   0:00 - Theme Song   0:18 - Show Begins   1:16 - David’s Take on Rings of Power   5:40 - Skye’s Beef with Rings of Power   13:20 - House of the Dragon   21:52 - World War I   26:45 -  Sponsor - Hiya Health - Go to https://www.hiyahealth.com/CURIOUSLY to receive 50% off your first order   27:50 - Sponsor - Go to https://www.fromourplace.com and use code CURIOUSLY to get 10% off site wide on beautiful cookware!   28:57 - Dune   34:55 - Dark Matter   37:28 - Penguin   41:04 - Looking Forward to Superman   48:56 - End Credits
