The Pagan Christian Alex J Holguin

a very merry pagan-christian christmas from my family to yours this season - and speaking of family, alex (the pagan christian) is joined by some family to ring in our celebrations of the incarnate God! join alex and his dad victor as they peruse where christmas comes from, personal and historical traditions, saints that punch heretics, commercialism, baby yoda, and more on this special christmas episode of the pagan christian podcast! should christians be able to celebrate festivals that had pagan roots? what's a christian to do at the height of a christmas over-run by consumerism? why does the door keep squeaking? where and how much for a baby yoda doll? is someone going to help the dogs? these questions and more are explored by the family-duo as they attempt to make it to christmas eve dinner! hey, at least prayer is still free - right? praying you all have a God-blessed day, and a very merry christmas!

join alex (the pagan christian) as he works through the historical and religious complexities of tattooing as a form of storytelling! for some reason or another, christians and their more decoratively inked neighbors haven't always gotten along - but alex isn't too sure that's biblical. considering how more and more christians are starting to go under the needle for some sweet-tats, it's probably long past due for a return to see what the good word actually has to say about decorating your fleshly temple. so buckle in and give this episode a listen on your way from church to the tattoo shop - or from the tattoo shop to church! hey, at least prayer is free. right? praying you all have a God-blessed day!

join alex (the pagan christian) as he overviews the television show "supernatural" on the weekly eve of it's finale. "supernatural" follows brothers sam and dean as they fight monsters of all kinds for the past fifteen years. the show's been talking about angels, demons, Lucifer, and God for a hot minute now - in a way that that provokes the Christian to think about the verses in a different way. is holy water actually a good deterrent to demons? is the angel-language of enochian and the interactions with pagan gods point us towards the book of enoch? maybe it's as simple as the brothers thankless service to the world. anyways - alex (the pagan christian) seems to think watching supernatural helps teach a thing or two about the gospel, but if not.... well hey, at least prayer is free! right? make sure to have a God-blessed day! 

join alex (the pagan christian) as he works through the reactions to the american election. some are lamenting the loss as deserving increased prayer as they find their hope in an "eternal kingdom" - so....way to stick the landing! others seem to be celebrating with an energy that has (and is) sorely missing in the church: Christ looks forward to your support. anyways, the best way to feel towards the election is not at all - so buckle in for an as we discuss the topic of the day (or week*). hey, at least prayer is free. right? praying you have a God-blessed day!

come join alex (the pagan christian) as he explores a dark period in his life through the power of song! honestly, we're chatting today about how seeing or hearing something can help you realize that things are not the way you thought they were and aren't the way they're supposed to be. and that's a good thing! gotta know you're lost for you to start finding your way home, ammi-rite?? ...you know, i probably should have referenced that whole "wandering in the desert for 40 years" thing. oh well. at least prayer is free - right? praying you have a God-blessed day!

has anyone ever said you were less of (or not) a christian because you listen to the devil's very own "secular" music? have you ever felt left out from hearing the cool sounds of the musicians with the good hair while you're stuck singing campfire song songs? have you ever had a fever? well, join alex (the pagan christian) as he chats about three stages of encountering christian music, what christian music even means, and how to hear the gospel in the most unlikely of places. you know - like Jesus. can't promise you that that means you get to sing any old song you want, but hey - at least prayer is free. right? have a God-blessed day!
