South Carolina SpookshowEp. 6: Sumter County DoesIn August of 1976, two bodies were discovered by a trucker on a dirt road in Sumter County. They had been murdered in cold blood and left exposed for anyone to find. It was evident that they were not from South Carolina, but the police had little to go on. Almost 45 years had passed with no leads on identifying the victims or their killer. It seemed as if the answers would never come. Two missing persons with families concerned of their whereabouts and dwindling hope as the years went on, fearing that they would never get closure. That was, until recently…

2022-02-1900 minSouth Carolina SpookshowEp. 5: Creepy Clown Sightings of 2016Coulrophobia is, by definition, the fear of clowns. According to the Cleveland Clinic website, those who fear clowns may experience extreme, irrational reactions when they see them in person or in various forms of media. So when creepy clown sightings started popping up in 2016, it created a full-blown panic across the country. Reports and videos of these "Killer clowns" spread like wildfire with claims that some of them were attempting to lure children into the woods.

Another Christian musician is claiming that they don’t believe in God anymore. And as usual, the response from the Christian community is very negative.

We’ll get into why we think this is a common occurrence these days, try to dissect his decision to turn away from Christianity, and our thoughts on obligations in the faith.

2020-02-141h 28Not Religious PodcastEp. 67 - The Halftime Show and “Modesty Culture”In case you missed it, there was a football game last weekend. Jennifer Lopez and Shakira were the performers for the halftime show. During the halftime show, they did what any singer/dancer would do and sang/danced. But the response from the Christian community was, of course, quite negative. Not everyone thought it was too risqué though. In fact, some praised it for multiple reasons. But what does the Bible really say about modesty? This leads us to a deep discussion about “modesty culture” and where everyone’s getting it wrong. **we do not own the music used in this ep...
2020-02-071h 25Not Religious PodcastEp. 66 - Bethel and the #WakeUpOlive ControversyIt didn’t take very long for Bethel Church in Redding, CA to make its way back into our show. This time, they’re drawing some attention to themselves after praying for God to raise a little girl from the dead. After she didn’t wake up, the whole ordeal was swept under the rug, but we felt like this was something that needs to be discussed. Is it a lack of faith on our side? Or are they just a little “Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs?” Also, we have a special message from our friend Michael Pulser (Personal Upgrade Podcast) regarding...

2019-12-0129 minNot Religious PodcastEp. 63 - Keith Getty Doesn’t Like Modern Worship MusicIf you’re still scratching your head trying to think of who Keith Getty is, don’t worry, so are we. He’s a Christian music artist himself, but Getty believes that we need to get back to the good ol’ days of writing hymns because modern worship and contemporary Christian music is “utterly dangerous” and “de-Christianizing God’s people.” Could Keith Getty just be super jealous of the successful careers of those like Hillsong United or even Kanye West? Take a listen and let us know what you think! **we do not own the music used in this episode and no copyright i...

2019-10-271h 22Not Religious PodcastEp. 60 - Hell Houses (A Revisit)To continue our Halloween series for this month, we revamped our Hell House episode from last year. It’s no surprise that many churches do not support Halloween or haunted houses. Instead, they came up with a way to draw in the secular crowd by creating “Hell Houses” in order to scare people into salvation. These houses use dramas with scenes of mass shootings, abortions, and a visit to Hell in hopes of converting people to Christianity. Some call it a ministry, others call it a joke. Take a listen and decide for yourself! **we do not own the music used i...

Maybe you’re at a family reunion and Aunt Shirley is asking when you’re gonna finally settle down and have some babies. Or even worse, you’re at church and you’re just trying to do your Christian duty by talking to your brethren. But let’s face it; you hate every second of it. By definition, you are LYING. So if lying is a sin, do you think God lets it slide due to the circumstances? We’ll get into how both of us approach b...
2019-09-131h 26Not Religious PodcastEp. 56 - You Just Can’t Trust Old, Rich, White DudesSo we watched “The Family” on Netflix and honestly, we’re shook. Being suckers for conspiracies and secret organizations, a documentary series about a Christian group living in the shadows with multiple political figures thrown in the mix just tickles our fancy. We’ll discuss the history of The Fellowship, who was involved, how controversies were handled, and exactly what they mean by “Jesus plus nothing.”

He’s been a supporter of the podcast since our early beginnings and just a hella good dude. We talk about how things are done differently on the west coast when it comes to Christianity, uncover some more disturbing Bethel stuff, and touch on the SUPER recent Marty Sampson controversy. **we do not own any of the music used in this episode and no copyright infringement is intended**
2019-08-111h 24Not Religious PodcastEp. 53 - Joshua Harris Isn’t a “Christian” Anymore. So what?The Christian community lost their friggin’ minds this week when former pastor/Christian author Joshua Harris renounced his faith by saying that he wasn’t a Christian by definition. But there is no evidence anywhere that suggests he no longer believes in God or doesn’t have a personal relationship with Him anymore. Also, we discuss the band Gideon and how they dropped the Christian title and created their best album yet. **we do not own any of the music used in this episode and no copyright infringement is intended**

2019-07-191h 27Not Religious PodcastEp. 50 - The Satanic PanicThe phenomenon known as the “Satanic Panic” literally rocked (🤘) the Christian community back in the day. Everything from heavy metal to He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was considered satanic and enjoying such things would be a gateway to the occult. This week, we’re diving into the origins of the Satanic Panic and how it scared the living crap out of parents who’s kids enjoyed some D&D and traded Pokémon cards at recess. 🤷♂️ **we do not own any of the music used in this episode and no copyright infringement is intended**

So many questions! Good thing our friend Claire Estep was in town and stopped by for a chat to help answer some of these. Crank those AC/DC jams and lets get into it! 😈 **we do not own any of the music used in th...
2019-06-081h 40Not Religious PodcastEp. 44 - Theistic Evolution Is the New BlackThis week, we’re talking all about EVOLUTION. Theistic evolution, that is. Maybe God created the Big Bang? You’re sweating bullets, we know. But hear us out! It’s not as far fetched as you’d think. Also, we’re looking at the “Missing Link” and how it all comes back to, you guessed it...aliens. 👽 So sit back, chug some cold brew, and let’s get into it.

2019-05-311h 12Not Religious PodcastEp. 43 - Why do Christians love Trump?It’s obvious that white evangelicals cannot get enough of Donald Trump. But what’s the appeal? Someone who is prone to cruelty, bigotry, vanity, adultery and serial deception doesn’t fit the mold for what they consider a righteous leader. Today we take a deep dive into President Trump’s antics and try to piece together their obsession. 🇺🇸 Side note: sincerest apologies for Brian’s audio towards the end. But does anyone find it funny that it happened when we started talking about Hillary Clinton? 🤔 **we do not own the music used in this episode and no copyright infringement is intended**
2019-05-241h 20Not Religious PodcastEp. 42 - Christian Clickbait...what we have to say will shock you!Some people just do not need Facebook. With the changing of the times, more and more Christian websites are inspired to write articles that mislead their readers. Wait a second-Christians? Misleading?? 😱 Shocking, right? All in hopes of generating some traffic, getting a ton of shares, and hopefully having the comment section erupt. This week, we basically go on one long rant about the dangers of Christians not investing more research into these articles before sharing them on their own Facebooks in hopes of “stirring the pot.” **we do not own any of the music used in this episode and no copyrig...
