Faith Adjacent
The Popcast Media Group
Conversations involving faith are often fraught with scholarly nerd alerts about ancient linguistics and inaccessible theological discussions centered around hermeneutics. But what if there was a way to use your pop culture literacy to enhance your biblical literacy? Welcome to Faith Adjacent, the podcast where we try to understand the modern dynamics of faith through a combined commitment to uncomfortable honesty, authentic weirdness, and critical thinking. Faith Adjacent is hosted by Knox McCoy and Jamie Golden of The Popcast along with Resident Bible Scholar Erin Moon.

Athaliah
We’re venturing into the dark and wicked world of ancient royal politics. When Athaliah receives word that her son, the king, has been killed, she does what anyone would do and ascends the throne by murdering her entire family. Or so she thinks. This story twists and turns through secret hideaways, flash mob coronations, and surprise horses. Wickedness is everywhere, but can the line of David prevail?MENTIONS
