Know DoubtSeason Finale: Doubting the Future of ChristianityFor our 13th episode and season finale Rubie and Dave tackle the question "Does Christianity have a future".

To contribute to Season 2 with suggestions, feedback, questions, doubts about any subject email: All contributions are welcome and we never reveal your name. Unless of course you'd like to come on as our guest! Groovy Love Boo Boo and Papsmear
2020-08-231h 05Know DoubtDoubting ChurchThis week Rubie and Dave talk about their doubts about Church. Why they don't go, What they miss and why do they feel guilty about not going.
2020-08-1559 minKnow DoubtDoubting HellThis week Rubie and Dave discuss their doubts about Hell. Does it exist, was it a metaphor and have we used the concept to scare people into religion. What the hell is up with hell.
2020-08-0855 minKnow DoubtDoubting SinThis week Rubie and Dave tackle their doubts about Sin. It is real, do we all sin or is it just another way of making us all feel crap.
2020-07-2646 minKnow DoubtDoubting EvangelismRubie and Dave discuss their doubts about Evangelism and get a little wound up along the way.
2020-07-1154 minKnow DoubtDoubting God and MoneyMoney, money, money, must be funny... in a Christian’s world. If the bible says it’s almost impossible for a wealthy man to get into heaven, than what does that mean for Christians with money? Rubie and Dave discuss their own dilemmas with making money and challenge those listening to do the same.
2020-06-2857 minKnow DoubtDoubting the Australian Christian LobbyRubie and Dave respond to the Australian Christian Lobby’s take on the Black Lives Matter movement and come to terms with their claim any support of this movement is “anti-Christ”.
2020-06-2044 minKnow DoubtDoubting God’s genderTrigger warning: This episode will bug you if you’re sexist. This week Boo and Papsmear address why they occasionally refer to God as a “she”. Does God have a gender? How does the concept of a masculine God impact the church? Dave asks Rubie if he is sexist and Rubie gives an honest answer. Then they both issue you with a God-related challenge for the week, so let’s hope she’s listening.
2020-06-1349 minKnow DoubtDoubting Christian PoliticsRubie and Dave tackle the doubt they have long had about Christians and Politics. Is there such a thing as a Christian World View and Christian Political Parties.
2020-06-0649 minKnow DoubtDoubting PrayerDear God, what on earth is the point of prayer? This week Dave and Rubie untangle the topic of prayer and ask what the purpose of it even is? Does God really say “yes” and “no” to our prayers? Why would God choose to wave that magic prayer-answering wand in some situations and not others? Well as usual, Boo and Papsmear suggest we may need to rethink the whole thing!
2020-05-3038 minKnow DoubtDoubting God’s existenceWhy do you believe in God? Well Rubie’s not always sure but Dave has a few ideas. This week, Father-Daughter duo, Boo and Papsmear are asked who God is to them, discuss what people mean when they talk about glorifying God and question whether God blesses us with hot wives and convenient parking spaces.
2020-05-2337 minKnow DoubtDoubting the bibleRubie and Dave break down their first “doubt” sent in by a listener. Do we really need to take the bible seriously? Is it okay to pick and choose the bits we like? Is it really “God Breathed” (whatever that means)? And as usual, Rubie rants a lot and Dave throws in some controversial gems.

Puck SoupNice, Rubie EdmondsonGreg and Dave celebrate a milestone episode with Rubie Edmondson of TheRinger.com, talking about her love of the Chicago Blackhawks, loathing of Jeff Goldblum and answering for all of those millennial-based movie rankings. Plus, a rather spirited debate about the Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2018, Carey Price and the Canadiens, the Coyotes suck, Taylor Swift, the Sports Illustrated subscription service, "Justice League" and knowing too much about movies, Twitter's 280 characters of hell and which NHL fan bases you'd never want to call your own.
