Speaking Christianly about, well, all sorts of things. Each episode takes a deep dive into a piece of Christian culture, theology, or practice to find out why we do the things we do and how we can do them better.

Between the Testaments
Separating the Old and New Testaments is a period of silence— both because God does not speak and many Bibles do not describe the 400 years between Malachi and Mathew. But "silent" does not mean "unimportant." In these 400 years, the world changes and sets the stage of the coming of the Messiah.

A Personal Relationship with Jesus
What does it mean to have a relationship with God? Answering that question can feel abstract, so we often reply with practices like reading our Bible or praying. But the truth is, there is much more to our relationship with God than spiritual disciplines. It is best summed up in a single word: covenant. Learn more about your ad choices.

Customer Reviews
Excellent
I thoroughly enjoyed the recent episode on Between the Testaments. A period that’s been a bit nebulous to me - Drew presented the history / timeline succinctly and is so engaging. At the end I was reminded that every piece of history is part of the story God wrote and consistently foreshadows to Christ - God is and has always been faithful despite the dark periods, despite our wandering.
Like this A Lot
Have only listened to a few episodes, but so far have really liked this podcast and have added to my core podcast rotation.
Edifying
I’m a big fan of the Christianese podcast and am so glad it came back after a hiatus. Drew writes and speaks so well, and I appreciate the music and overall ~atmosphere~ of each episode. It’s the kind of mood that you want to settle into on your commute home. Without fail I find myself just thinking and wondering more about scripture and God and my place in the world after I listen. Makes meditating on scripture pretty easy! Highly recommend.
