Tract Record 3: Bad Christian Advice for Dancing, Sex Ed, Modernism, and MoreRound three of our fundamentalist pamphlet adventure brings us:– A not-so-self-aware tale of how one man found absolute truth and lost his joy.– Anti-communist propaganda thinly disguised as an anti–sex ed sermon.– A grab-bag of end times theology takes.– And a preacher who fueled the Salem Witch Trials…held up as a moral hero.It’s another dose of advice no one asked for, but since we had to take it in, so do you!Editor's Note: We apologize to all Gen Xers on behalf of C...
2025-10-191h 57The Bible Uncut and Unfiltered93. Sun's Out, Tut's Out (Exodus 10)This week we’re uncovering layers in Exodus you’ve definitely never heard before in church. Previously unexplained details from Joseph’s story find a parallel in Moses’s final confrontation with Pharaoh. Locusts appear, but not where you’d think, thanks to a popular mistranslation. And buried in the Hebrew language are geographical clues that reveal the perspective of the ancient storyteller.But maybe most surprising of all — King Tut just might turn out to be the key to why Pharaoh panicked when Yahweh plunged Egypt into darkness. Get ready for Exodus 10 uncut and unfiltered!...

Why would God raise up Pharaoh for this exact showdown? Why save Israelite slaves while others stayed in chains?

Tract Record: Bad Christian Advice for Addiction, Finances, Self-Esteem, and MoreChaos ensues this week as I’m joined by three guests to tackle a pile of vintage fundamentalist pamphlets and read the advice out loud. We cover everything from faith healing for physical illnesses caused by your sins to biblical money management that goes nowhere to addiction recovery methods that make AA look like cutting-edge psychology.

God Hates It When You Pray This One Prayer (The Prayer of Jabez Book Review)Back in the early 2000s, The Prayer of Jabez swept through evangelical circles like a holy life hack. Author Bruce Wilkinson promised that if you just prayed this one obscure Old Testament verse, God would open the floodgates of blessing.But what if that passage isn’t a divine cheat code?What if it’s been wildly misunderstood?This week, we dive into the bestselling book that turned a footnote into a formula—and why it might not be as biblical (or as harmless) as you’ve been told.Websit...

2025-07-0651 minThe Bible Uncut and Unfiltered87. Frogpocalypse Now (Exodus 8)Ever wonder why God chose some of the world's most annoying creatures to take down ancient Egypt's superpower status? This week we're exploring Exodus 8—where frogs invade Pharaoh's bedroom, magicians have their "this is above my pay grade" moment, and unidentified flying insects accomplish what armies couldn't. But these weren't just random acts of divine weirdness. Eachplague was a surgical strike against Egypt's worldview, perfectly designed to speak their cultural language while demonstrating that their gods were basically middle management pretending to be CEOs. From boundary-crossing frogs to zombie-esque swarms of anti-creation dust creatures, we're considering how Go...

There Will Be Blood (Exodus 7:17-25)Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the Nile…This week, the river runs red—not just with judgment, but with memory, protest, and poetic justice. The first plague isn’t random wrath; it’s a calculated strike against an unholy empire that’s forgotten the days of Joseph. It’s what happens when God says enough. But sometimes liberation looks more like crisis—depending on which side of the staff you’re on.Tucked away in this story are at least five different ways to group the plagues, several reasons why blood kicks...
2025-06-221h 04The Bible Uncut and Unfiltered85. I Work Signs not Tragedies (Exodus 7:1-16)You’ve probably heard of the 10 Plagues on Egypt—but the Bible rarely calls them that. Instead, they’re mostly described as signs, divine invitations for Pharaoh to change course. But he doesn’t budge. So God sends Moses, temporarily promoted to the role of God himself, to impress Pharaoh with a sea serpent. He’s just a God standing in front of a Pharaoh, asking him to free his people. But then the sorcerers show up, and suddenly it’s a kaiju battle. And Pharaoh’s heart? It starts hardening—but is that really his choice?This week’s epis...

2025-06-081h 05The Bible Uncut and Unfiltered83. Bricks, Blame, and… Blasphemy? (Exodus 5:10-23)Middle management in ancient Egypt sucks! This week, we meet some often-overlooked characters in the Exodus story—the Hebrew foremen. Caught between Pharaoh’s oppressive government and their own suffering people, they’restuck in an impossible spot. Like the serpent in the garden, Pharaoh pits them againstMoses and Aaron, triggering a full-blown crisis for Moses before the plagues even begin. Our shaken prophet fires back at God with some strong accusations that would probably get him kicked out of most churches in America today.But how will God respond to him? Listen now to find out!

Reclaiming Atonement: How the Church Turned a Story of Love into a Doctrine of Divine Child Abuse (and Why It's Time To Let That Go), Part 2It’s time to rethink the Atonement! Most of us only know one version of what Jesus's death and resurrection meant—He died to take God’s wrath away from you and put it on himself instead. The fancy theological name for that is Penal Substitutionary Atonement, and it wasn’t orthodox belief until 500 years ago. But church history reveals a wealth of different views on what atonement really means. This week, we dive deep into the history of atonement theories—from ancient to modern— exploring their strengths and weaknesses. If the idea of a vengeful God makes you uncomf...

Reclaiming Atonement: How the Church Turned a Story of Love into a Doctrine of Divine Child Abuse (and Why It's Time To Let That Go), Part 1Millions of Christians around the world are commemorating the death and resurrection of Jesus today. But have you ever stopped to ask: Why did Jesus die? What did his death actually accomplish? Was it really just to satisfy the wrath of an angry God—or was there more going on?This week, we’re kicking off an Easter conversation about atonement. And we’re starting by laying the groundwork for understanding what atonement is, why it was needed, and why the atonement theory you’ve probably heard in church is actually newer—and less helpful—than other ones Christi...

Braeden Størkersen of Religionless Studios)The world is experiencing a new Reformation—but not in theway you might think. Progressive Christianity is often dismissed as either heresy or a slippery slope to atheism, but for many former evangelicals, it's become the next step in their faith journey.This week, Braeden Størkersen of Religionless Studios joinsus to explore what progressive Christianity really is, how it engages with the Bible, and whether it’s just a passing trend or actually a return to a more biblical faith. We tackle big questions like:· Is progressive Christianity just moral relativism? · How can it embrace the Bibl...
2025-04-0656 minThe Bible Uncut and Unfiltered77. Exodus 4:18-31This week’s passage jumps through time like a Chris Nolan movie, introduces Moses’s brother Aaron, and gives Jethro yet another name. But the strangest moment? A sudden and oddly cryptic circumcision performed by Moses’s wife to save his—or possibly their son’s—life.Why was Moses in danger? Why did this ritual work? And what is it doing here in this part of the Exodus story? This is hands down one of the Bible’s weirdest passages. It’s definitely not something you’ll hear about in church this week, but you can learn all about it...

The serpentine staff, the leprous hand, and the water turning to blood — they each carried a deeper meaning, echoing back to the Garden of Eden and foreshadowing things to come. Even the rod in Moses’s hand may have held a significance far beyond what we usually hear in Sunday school.And what if Moses didn’t actually stutter — but God did? Inthis episode, we unpack the strange twists of Exodus 4: the voice behind the signs, why spiritual gift tests are unnecessar...

We discuss his creative approach to studying the Bible, how illustrating Bible stories has deepened his understanding of scripture, and why some passages are better grasped through images rather than words.Steve also shares several stories of his experience making art that is both theologically rich and visually compelling, the projects that have challenged him the most, and what first drew him to illustrating the...

Plus, we’ll unpack...

We also dive into ancient birth legends that reframe his story through the lens of Genesis 1 and uncover the hidden Egyptian meaning behind his name.But that’s not all—Moses' journey also has surprisingparallels to another key biblical figure: Jacob.

The new Pharaoh is cast in the shadow of the Garden’s nakhash, the murderous Cain, and even the builders of Babel, setting the stage for his role in the narrative. But before we get too far, we hit a numerical snag—how can 70 equal 75? And the chapter endswith a baffling reference to potter’s wheels, a detail lost in every major English translation.Plus, we tackle one of the most unexpected questions in thechapter: Is God actually okay wit...

This week, I sit down with Dana Hicks, author of The Knot, to unravel the problems with evangelical views on marriage.

This week, we sat down with Jonathan Foster, author of Indigo: The Color of Grief, to explore his deeply personal journey through loss and the impact of spiritual abuse—experiences that shaped him even as he served as a pastor.

Making a Messiah: Prophecy’s Role in the Birth of Jesus and Paul (Atreides)Every Christmas, pastors dust off obscure Old Testament passages to prove that Jesus’s birth was foretold centuries earlier. Matthew’s Gospel in particular leans heavily on this claim of fulfilling messianic prophecies—but was Matthew uncovering hidden truths or bending ancient texts to fit his
narrative?
In this episode, we reconsider Matthew’s fulfillment
passages through the lens of Frank Hebert’s Dune. By comparing the role of prophecy in the births of Jesus and Paul Atreides, we explore how Matthew repurposed Old Testament texts and learn how we can find meaning in both their original contexts a...

Of testaments there are 2. 39 books in the Old Testament, and 27 in the New!' But that short children’s song doesn’t tell the whole story—especially when more than half of Christians throughout history and even in the world today have more books in their Bibles than that.

Now it’s time to ask: how do his views relate to the rest of the Bible? Many commentators and preachers have used these final verses to dismiss Qoheleth as a heretic, arguing that his words serve only as a negative example. But nothing could be further from the truth. While his teachings may diverge from traditional Judeo-Christian instruction, they still hold a crucial place within the biblical canon.

2024-07-071h 41The Bible Uncut and Unfiltered46. Redeeming Violent Verses (ft. Eric Seibert)We interrupt your regularly scheduled Ecclesiastes series to bring you an interview episode with special guest Eric Seibert! Eric has written several books on the topic of divine violence in the Bible, and he has quite a bit to say about how we’re not giving those tough passages the careful attention they deserve. Together, we contrast the violence of certain verses with the love and forgiveness found in others, compare Philistines to orcs, discuss the psychological impact of reading violent Bible stories to children, and offer practical frameworks for reading these difficult parts of the Bible. Get ready fo...
2024-06-3059 minThe Bible Uncut and Unfiltered45. Ecclesiastes 8:10-17How does one truly win at life? So far, Qoheleth has critiqued money, power, relationships, and even religiosity; but now he reveals a surprisingly simple path to the best possible life. This week's episode covers a how-to manual on the good life, unique Hebrew idioms, hypocrisy in religion, and redefining what it means to fear God. And it all caps off with a meditation on how savoring life's little moments is part of how we can defeat evil. Get ready, these few verses are packed with life-changing insights from the ancient world of the Bible!

2024-06-231h 15The Bible Uncut and Unfiltered44. Ecclesiastes 8:1-9Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely. So what can you do when people in authority over you misuse and abuse their power? This week, Qoheleth addresses a new audience — the denizens of a king's royal court. And he offers them traditional wisdom about deferring to those in authority. Or does he? Beneath the surface reading of the text lies a radical third option between conformity and revolution. With a few easy-to-miss hyperlinks to other Bible passages, Qoheleth actually undermines the traditional wisdom of his day to preach a powerful form of civil resistance that is more in line with th...
2024-06-161h 34The Bible Uncut and Unfiltered43. Ecclesiastes 7This week, we tackle some of the most shocking and misunderstood content in Ecclesiastes. What does it mean to be "too righteous," and how can it lead to self-destruction? Is wisdom actually more practical than money? And does Qoheleth truly believe it’s impossible to find a good woman, or is this a misinterpretation by misogynistic translators? Join us this week as we wade in the waters of Qoheleth’s ancient world and see what treasures we can find!

2024-06-092h 41The Bible Uncut and Unfiltered42. Ecclesiastes 6Philosophy fans, this one's for you! In this episode, Qoheleth presents some majorly controversial statements about the value of death's solace over life's stress, and we’re delving deep into his arguments alongside Albert Camus's existentialism.
We also cover how the ancient Israelite perception of the afterlife differs from ours and some possible hidden connections to Genesis 1-3 in the chapter. There's a lot packed into a few verses here, so let's get to it!

2024-05-261h 28The Bible Uncut and Unfiltered40. God After Deconstruction (ft. Thomas Oord)Join us this week as we delve into one of modern Christianity's most hotly debated topics: deconstruction. What does it entail, and how should we respond when those close to us (or maybe even we ourselves) undergo this complicated process? Dr. Thomas Oord is back to unpack his latest collaboration with Tripp Fuller, God After Deconstruction.
In this must-listen episode, we explore the implications of deconstruction for Christianity's future. Whether you're grappling with questions about faith evolution or already on a deconstruction journey, Tom's insights provide much-needed validation and understanding. Don't miss out on this enlightening discussion!

Faith, Frustration, and Motherhood: The Unspoken Pain of Mother’s Day in ChurchMother's Day is a time when many communities celebrate the hardworking moms in their midst, but for some, it's also one of the most painful days on the calendar. Stories from the other side of Mother's Day have been shared for years now, but male-led churches continue to push these special services and activities on an overwhelmingly unwilling congregation. It's time we change that. This week, Janna and Stephanie Connor join the podcast to talk through the highs and lows of Mother's Day within evangelical Christianity. We'll listen to stories from dozens of women who have experienced the unspoken...

Ten years later, Janna and I reevaluate one of the last surviving copies of the book and talk through everything I got wrong. We cover what type of music you should listen to, why just going to church makes you a bad Christian, how Patch the Pirate strayed from his solid foundations, why good Christians aren't public fans of Star Wars, and so...

We consider what questions we would ask Qoheleth if we could and philosophize on the meaning of life. Nice, easy topics this week lol.

2024-03-241h 01The Bible Uncut and Unfiltered32. Ecclesiastes 4In the last couple chapters, Qoheleth has urged us to cherish the small joys in life, advocating for meaningful connections with loved ones. This week, he confronts the harsh realities faced by those who are denied such simple pleasures due to injustice and exploitation. Then he shifts his focus to the plight of workaholics trapped in a relentless pursuit of career advancement, as well as the challenges faced by extreme introverts who find solace in solitude rather than community. Join us this week as we delve into Qoheleth's wisdom for navigating these diverse circumstances, sparking further dialogue on the...
2024-03-101h 20The Bible Uncut and Unfiltered31. Ecclesiastes 3:9-22So many of us long for something more out of life, something that feels just beyond our reach. Qoheleth sympathizes with us, and he thinks he knows who's to blame for our inability to find lasting happiness — God. God has prevented us from finding deeper meaning in life, and what's more, he's done it for the purpose of making us realize our own delusions of grandeur. At the end of the day, Qoheleth believes we are little different from the other animals God created; the only real distinction being that they seem to know how to enjoy the good li...
2024-03-031h 12The Bible Uncut and Unfiltered30. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8And so we arrive at Ecclesiastes' most well-known passage — Chapter 3's time poem. But what exactly does this list of contrasting times mean? Must these verses only be referenced during periods of transition in life, or do they have a deeper practical wisdom for every day? As you've likely guessed, there's a lot more to this poem than just what's on the surface. Qoheleth has a lot to teach us this week about accepting the cycles of life as they come, reevaluating our modern desire for a work-life balance, considering free will in light of God's sovereignty, and swimming wi...
2024-02-251h 11The Bible Uncut and Unfiltered29. Ecclesiastes 2What is the meaning of life? Few questions strike at the core of human existence as succinctly as this. And the responses given will likely change drastically depending on who you ask. Some look for purpose in leaving a lasting legacy, accomplishing great feats, or giving their all for a religious cause. In Ecclesiastes Chapter 2, Qoheleth claims to have tried all that and found every possible endeavor equally incapable of providing any lasting meaning in life. His conclusion invites us to lay aside our delusions and expectations in favor of a simpler view, one that revels in the temporary...
2024-02-181h 32The Bible Uncut and Unfiltered28. Ecclesiastes 1Imagine you were given unlimited time and resources to find the best restaurant in the country. How would you even begin your investigation? And how long until you tired of it? Ecclesiastes is this thought experiment on a much larger scale — What if someone who had it all tried to find the surest path to happiness in life? That's exactly what our anti-hero, Qoheleth, does; yet, in the end, he remains unsatisfied. And he's intent on convincing you of his conclusions that life is baffling, impermanent, and anxiety-inducing. But he also suggests that all that may not be as ba...

This week, we're honored to share the mic with Eric Skwarczynski of the Preacher Boys Podcast. Eric grew up Independent Fundamental Baptist and first confronted abuse in the church as a teenager.

2024-01-2157 minThe Bible Uncut and Unfiltered24. God Isn’t All-Powerful (and That’s the Best News You’ve Heard Today) ft. Thomas OordFew doctrinal beliefs are as widely accepted as God's ability to do anything and everything, also known as omnipotence. It's even in one of the first songs children learn in church — "My God is so big, so strong, and so mighty, there's nothing my God cannot do." But what if the song got it wrong? What if there are some things God actually can't do? In this week's episode, Colin sits down with Dr. Thomas Jay Oord, author of The Death of Omnipotence and the Birth of Amipotence. Tom proposes that since God's nature is love, there are some th...

Even people who have never stepped foot inside a church could likely give you the highlights. But all that familiarity can lead to us to think we know more about the story than we actually do. If your idea of the Nativity is the virgin Mary giving birth to baby Jesus in a stable surrounded by animals, singing angels, and three wise men on a cold December night, you're imagining a scene that never happened. This week, we compare and contrast the Bible's two Christmas narratives...

Genesis 10 swarms with names the average person has never even heard before let alone tried to pronounce. But don't change the channel yet! This chapter pivots us from the story of Noah into the story of our next protagonist — Abraham. The names you thought were just there to tie your tongue in knots actually serve a purpose. They introduce us to the main characters of the rest of the Bible, and they are a colorful lot to be sure. Could Bible ge...

2023-11-261h 23The Bible Uncut and Unfiltered18. Genesis 8Question: What do the Psalms, the book of Esther, the conquest of Canaan in Joshua, and Jesus' baptism have in common?
Answer: They all draw on imagery from the Flood story in Genesis 8.
When biblical authors wanted to make a point about how chaotic life can be or how God is in control over that chaos, they'd often borrow language from the Flood account. Those words then form key hyperlinks across several narratives, inviting us to read the stories from a different angle. Sadly, these details are often missed in English translations, but we want...

If you said, "Wait, there are scary stories in the Bible?" prepare to be surprised! Christians often get a bad rap for overreacting to Halloween and all things horror. But here's the twist — The Bible makes frequent use of the horror genre. In fact, horror is arguably the most conservative Christian genre of all.

You've just crossed over into the realm of Genesis 6:1-5. Most people skip over the first few verses of this chapter in a rush to the Flood story, but few other passages in the Bible provide as much insight into the mindset of Ancient Near Eastern culture as this one.

Even though it's often called the story of "The Fall" and "The Curse," there's not really a fall, and humanity isn't cursed. And the further we go into the chapter, the more our assumptions start to unravel. The serpent doesn't lose its legs. God doesn't ordain male headship over women or add pain to childbirth.
