    So the Bible is Cool with Incest...? | S2E15

    Drop Us a Message! Why do the earliest generations in the Bible marry relatives? Was the bible endorsing incest, or are modern readers applying later laws to a completely different point in human history? In this episode of the Dear God, Lettuce Pray podcast, Santana unpacks one of the most uncomfortable and controversial questions people ask about Scripture: "So the Bible is cool with incest?" From Adam and Eve to Cain, Seth, Noah, and the generations that followed, this episode explores how humanity began according to the biblical narrative, why close-family marriages existed in the earliest stages of creation, and what changed once God established laws for Israel. This conversations breaks down the historical and theological context behind Genesis, the development of human civilization, population growth after Eden, and why later passages in the Law explicitly prohibited incestuous relationships. The episode also examines common skeptic arguments, modern misunderstandings of ancient cultures, and the difference between descriptive events in the Bible versus God's moral commands. If you've ever wrestled with difficult passages in Scripture, questioned biblical consistency, or wondered how people should approach controversial topics honestly without shallow answers, this episode is for you.

    God vs. Errbody: Counterfeit Power in Egypt, Part Two | S2E14

    Drop Us a Message! (Part Two) In this episode of the Dear God Lettuce Pray podcast, hosted by Santana, we walk into ancient Egypt during the confrontation between Moses, Aaron, Pharaoh, and Pharaoh's magicians. This was a world where government, religion, magic, agriculture, medicine, priestly purity, sacred animals, the Nile, the sun and Pharaoh's throne were all connected. So when God dropped the diss track (aka when God began sending the plagues), He was confronting more than one stubborn ruler. He was exposing an entire system of false power. Exodus says Pharaoh's magicians could imitate some of the early signs. They copies the staff-serpent sign, the Nile turning to blood, and the frogs. Then Aaron struck the dust, the dust became gnats/lice, and Egypt's spiritual experts reached for their secret arts one more time. Exodus says, "but they could not". This episode unpacks Counterfeit Power in Egypt through biblical, historical, and cultural context of the Exodus plagues, and why Exodus 12:12 says God executed judgment on the gods of Egypt. Scriptures Referenced Exodus 5:2-12:12, Genesis 2:7, and 2 Timothy 3:8-9 Connect with the DGLP Podcast: Hosted by Santana Instagram: @deargodlettucepray @hellosantanaco Community: Bible Study-ish on Skool Podcast support & sponsorship inquiries: support@hellosantana.co and dglppodcast@gmail.com Support the show We want to hear from you!

    Cheyenne Bryant & The Sheep that Know Her Voice | S2E13

    Drop Us a Message! People quote Scripture every day, but what happens when spiritual language starts getting used to avoid accountability instead of revealing truth? After hearing watching a show appearance with Cheyenne Bryant where she referenced, "my sheep know my voice", Santana opens up a larger conversation about discernment, church culture, and the growing habit of using God-language as emotional insulation from being questioned. This episode unpacks the deeper biblical context behind John 10 and Ezekiel 34, explores how accountability can quietly disappear once spiritual symbolism enters the room, and explains why Jesus' "Good Shepherd" language carries far more weight than most people realize. If you've ever struggled with church hurt, manipulative leadership, celebrity Christianity, weaponized Bible verses, or separating God from the people who represented Him poorly, this episode is for you. Scriptures referenced: John 10, Ezekiel 34, Acts 17:11, and James 3:1 Follow us on Instagram: @deargodlettucepray and @hellosantanaco Podcast inquiries and collaborations: support@hellosantana.co and dglppodcast@gmail.com Support the show We want to hear from you!

    The Golden Calf in Miami | S2E12

    Drop Us a Message! This week on the Dear God, Lettuce Pray podcast, Santana discusses the viral controversy surrounding Pastor Mark Burns, Donald Trump's 22-foot gold statue in Miami, political idolatry, corrupted spiritual leadership, and why so many people feel disconnected from modern American Christianity. After Pastor Mark Burns defended the massive gold Trump statue unveiled at Trump National Doral, comparisons to the golden calf in Exodus 32 immediately exploded across social media. But this episode goes far beyond internet outrage or political talking points. What happens when pastors begin spiritually protecting political power? When does patriotism become unhealthy allegiance? Why are so many people walking away from Christianity after constantly watching Scripture weaponized to defend systems that harm vulnerable communities? Through Exodus 32, Daniel 3, Matthew 7, Matthew 23, Ezekiel 34, Jeremiah 23, and 1 John5, Santana explores false prophets, perversion of priesthood, Christian nationalism, political devotion, celebrity pastors, and the dangerous merging of faith with empire. This conversation also examines the emotional reality Black people face while watching political rhetoric, racial history, nationalism, and modern Christianity collide publicly in ways that feel spiritually disorienting. This is not an episode about mocking or attacking people for political beliefs. This is a conversation about discernment, corrupted shepherds, biblical accountability, and whether parts of American Christianity still reflect the character of Christ at all. Scriptures Referenced: Exodus 32:5, Matthew 7:15, Matthew 23:4, Daniel 3:1-2, Ezekiel 34:2-4, Jeremiah 23:1, 1 John 5:21 Follow Us on Instagram: @deargodlettucepray @hellosantanaco Support the podcast, join the Bible Study-ish community on Skool, and share an episode with a friend.

    Can Christians Smoke Weed? | S2E11

    Drop Us a Message! Can Christians smoke weed? What does the Bible actually say about cannabis, idolatry, sobriety, and Christian freedom? In this episode of Dear God, Lettuce Pray podcast, Santana takes an honest, Scripture-first look at one of the questions believers keep debating but rarely slow down enough to study well.

This episode also makes rooms for people who are still learning. It is for believers who do not want to build doctrine from stereotypes, social media testimonies, or fear, but want to let God search their heart, reveal the fruit of their choices, and lead them in truth.

    The Real Meaning of Easter | S2E9

    Drop Us a Message! What does Easter actually have to do with Jesus Christ, and what has culture added that was never part of the biblical story? In this episode of the Dear God, Lettuce Pray Podcast, Santana moves past bunnies, eggs, and empty tradition to sit with the real weight of Holy Week. This is a conversation about the love of Jesus, the necessity of the cross, and why the death and resurrection of Christ still matter so deeply.
