Faith Adjacent

In this latest installment of our series exploring famous Christians, Erin and Evan dive into the life, faith, and literary legacy of the man behind works like The Chronicles of Narnia and Mere Christianity. From his unlikely journey from atheism to Christianity to his complicated love story with Joy Davidman, we’re exploring the man behind the books and answering listener questions about his theology, his influence, and whether he’d actually be rolling in his grave over the upcoming Narnia adaptation. MENTIONSThe Magician’s Nephew: Watch the trailer here Books Mentioned: Mere Christianity | The Weight of Glory | The Great Divorce | The Screwtape Letters | Till We Have Faces | The Chronicles of NarniaRelevant Past Episode: Sacred Cinema: The Lion, The Witch, and The WardrobeWant more info?

In this very special episode, Erin sits down with Palestinian Christian pastor, theologian, and author Dr. Munther Isaac to talk about Christian Zionism, biblical interpretation, and the realities of the war in Gaza. Dr. Isaac shares his perspective on Christian Zionism, how to respond when loved ones refuse to acknowledge Palestinian suffering, and what repentance and action can look like for Western Christians. We also talk about his powerful book Christ in the Rubble and his hope for the global church.MENTIONSDr. Munther Isaac: Instagram | Christ in the Rubble | The Other Side of the Wall | Christ in the Rubble Sermon Bethlehem Institute for Peace and Justice: Website | Sermon to the West Church at the Crossroads: Website | Atlanta EventWant the spicy questions?

Today, we’re stepping into the Faith Adjacent Vault and sharing our introductory episode to our Esther Season! SNL’s Stefon would tell you that the Book of Esther has everything. It has murder, lies, intrigue, adoption, romance, a beauty pageant. It has villains, heroes, and underdogs. And it has a lot of revenge. We start to unpack all of these aspects in this first episode.  MENTIONSRelevant Bible Passage: Esther 1:1-22 The Esther Season: Listen on Patreon (Included with a Doctoral Membership) | Purchase at The Faith Adjacent Shop  The Faith Adjacent Seminary: Support us on Patreon.  Erin Moon: I’ve Got Questions | Substack | Instagram | WebsiteEvan Dodson: Instagram | TikTok | SubstackJamie Golden: Instagram | The Popcast with Knox and JamieSubscribe to our Newsletter: The Dish from Faith AdjacentFaith Adjacent Merch: Shop HereShop our Amazon Link: amazon.com/shop/faithadjacentFollow Faith Adjacent on Socials: InstagramSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Evan Dodson, a writer and faith commentator known for sharp cultural humor, joins a lively conversation about an AI-generated Singing Bible and whether sea shanties could make Scripture more engaging. They debate public prayer platforms for convicted sex offenders, forgiveness without replatforming, and the wild future of immersive youth-group movies featuring water guns, fire, and 4D effects.

Evan Dodson, a cultural commentator exploring faith and pop culture with humor, joins a lively deep dive into the 2004 satire Saved! They revisit its Christian-school time capsule, Mandy Moore’s unforgettable mean girl, sharp one-liners, and its portrayal of conversion therapy and hypocrisy. They also imagine an Angel Studios remake and ask whether the film still holds up.

Erin and Evan are answering your questions about all things denominations! In this Ask-A-Bible Scholar episode, they unpack listener questions about topics such as the history of non-denominational churches and whether Episcopalians are just liberal Catholics.
