    Rescuing Baal From Epsxxxn as well as Evangelicals

    Jeffrey Epsxxxn was a despicable person—but let’s leave the ancient god Baal out of it. Baal re-entered public discussion this week after reports revealed that Epstein named a bank account after the ancient deity, triggering a wave of misinformation about Baal’s character and role in ancient religion. In this episode, Pastor Andrew—an expert in the ancient Near East—works to clear up the confusion and set the record straight.

    Episode 129: A Catholic Couch Convert who started argument with TWO POPES

    If causing the last Pope to slip faster into the afterlife wasn't enough, now U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance has an audience with the NEW Pope, and presents this Augustinian scholar with an English translation of St. Augustine's "City Of God." What's behind J.D.'s lame gift? Pastor Andrew breaks it all down for us.

    Episode 127: Demonic Possession of the Self-Defeating Kind

    Pastor Andrew makes the case that the MAGA movement that elected a convicted criminal for a second term is not merely brainwashed, but is rather under a form of demonic possession, a kind that is very self-defeating.

    Episode 126: J.D. and the Pope

    Pastor Andrew breaks down the back-and-forth between Vice President J.D. Vance and Pope Francis. Vance invoked ordo amoris to defend his general approach to immigration and refugees, and the Pontiff (without naming him directly) "corrected" him, in an inspiring statement placing the teachings of Jesus over church dogma.

    Episode 125:Racist Dogwhistles and the Origins of Apartheid in South Africa

    Trump's offer of refugee status to "persecuted" Afrikaans prompts Pastor Andrew, as a way to shed light on the racist dogwhistle that policy move is, to lay out the origins of apartheid in South Africa, religions' role in those origins, and also its role in apartheid's collapse.

    Episode 124: My God, My God

    Pastor Andrew takes us on a deep dive into one of Jesus' last words on the cross, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" that is, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" and encourages us to take it in via its literary context, seeing it as "an early church attempt to preach to itself about the meaning of Jesus’ suffering."

    Episode 123: Case for Religious Education in Public Schools

    When well-meaning leaders, anxious to adhere to the separation of church and state, lean too far in to the “zero religious education” stance, instead of calling on academia to sift through standards and material and come up with a curriculum, we get the current situation we are in—a public at large more susceptible to bad theology at best and fundamentalism, fanaticism, and conspiracism at worst. Pastor Andrew makes the plea for cold, objective, religious eduction now.
