Faith Adjacent

Just re-listened to the 2023 Christmas Confessions episode as a warm up before facing a long Thanksgiving Week and it was perfect (as all the episodes are), but Evan saying “Gentle rebuke on that” to the Elf’s name being Twinkie was just precisely the kind of interaction I needed to hear today. All the love for this show.

Like others have said, listening to this group is like sitting in a room with your best friends chat. You admire them, root for them, look up to them, and even disagree with them at times. They challenge you and encourage you to sit in the unknown. The peace this podcast has brought to my faith journey has been so healing. I’ve felt religiously and politically adrift for years - untethered to any particular school of thought outside of loving Jesus and my neighbor. I’ve wrestled for years in the muck trying to find some sense. These beautiful souls have given me language I didn’t have before and nurtured a curiosity I thought was my ultimate character flaw. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve screamed YES in the car more times than I can count. They make me feel less alone on this floating rock. They’re worth the listen, I pinky promise.

You might as well go to a Unitarian church where every religion is the path to heaven, because this does not represent the Holy Bible. They mock Christians and pretend they know more. Anyone who thinks Disney is biblical isn’t reading the Bible. Christians are told not to be ‘of the world’ and you clearly are.

Erin, Jamie, Evan, and Knox are relatable, funny, and so much fun! They provided me a voice to describe some of the things that I’ve experienced growing in the church and for that I’m so thankful! I used to think that I was the only one that struggled with certain things, and was so grateful when I came across this through the Popcast. Thank you guys so much! 🤍
