Having lost his mother in October, our best friend Devin Shelton adds profound insight to our reflections on last weeks untimely loss of his Matt’s mother. Death really makes you think deeply about life and draws out appreciation for things we normally take for granted. Joey doesn’t know when to stop his stupid jokes and parenting is full of literal shit. And in the Damn News, an old lady literally molds to her chair. And we ask if it is disrespectful, dishonoring or even evil to pay top dollar for the phone that Hitler used to sentence millions of Jews to death?

Why the hell is Perry Noble preaching again? Why does Steven Furtick get to call the shot on this one? We love Pastor Perry Noble, a Pastor who was recently removed as a result of some struggles including alcohol addiction. These issues were revealed not even a year ago and Pastor Steven Furtick, this past Sunday, had him as a guest preacher at Elevation Church. This makes for a podcast episode full of questions, yelling, frustrations, Toby rants, introspection, cutting up, inappropriate jokes, anger, and sympathy for Perry Noble. In other words what else is new? But seriously, why would people push him back to the very thing that caused his problems?Why does the church need heroes? Is this all a joke? Are we as Christians in mega-church American church culture, a bunch of clowns?   Sponsors and Links: Casper - http://casper.com/BCPOD - use promo code BCPOD at checkout Lyft - http://lyft.com/ - use promo code “BADCHRISTIAN” at checkout Indochino - http://indochino.com/ - use promo code “BADCHRISTIAN” at checkout Join the BC Club - http://thebcclub.com/ Emery on Tour - http://emerymusic.com/ Fundamentalist Pastor Book on Kindle - https://www.amazon.com/Fundamentalist-Mentally-Obsessive-Compulsive-Legalistic-ebook/dp/B01N7W8PUP/

We’re joined by the Chairman of the Libertarian Party, Nicholas Sarwark to talk about government responsibility and the current state of our country. Also in today’s episode, we try to get to the bottom of why Matt hasn’t been sick since 2008. It has something to do with not conceding anything to the enemy. We bring back the science segment with pigs growing human organs. And in The Damn News a surgeon falls in love with a woman while performing a colonoscopy on her.   Sponsors and Links: DSTLD - http://dstld.com/badchristian Naturebox - http://naturebox.com/badchristian Zip Recruiter - http://ziprecruiter.com/first Join the BC Club - http://thebcclub.com/ Emery on Tour - http://emerymusic.com/
