Is this all just a computer simulation? Are we all just in God’s mind? Is all reality just something Toby created? Is Movember just a pissing contest between bros? Also, we talk about a Thanksgiving feast that kills. So many questions.

We’re joined by Comeback Kid guitarist Jeremy Hiebert. We get into Jeremy’s mennonite upbringing, how he discovered heavy music, Figure Four and the roots of Comeback Kid, and where he is at with his faith today. Also on the program, we talk about cynicism versus skepticism.   Sponsors and Links: Harry’s - http://harrys.com/ - promo code “BCPOD” Lyft - http://lyft.com/ - promo code “BADCHRISTIAN" Zip Recruiter - http://ziprecruiter.com/first Join the BC Club! - http://thebcclub.com/ BC Supply - http://bc.supply  

Matt, Toby and Joey’s alma mater Winthrop University makes the Damn News.  Students there protested the name of Winthrop’s main building Tillman, as it was named after a racist that supported lynch mobs. Is this type of “erasing history” disadvantageous?  Does it encourage people to forget the real atrocities that happened to minorities in America?  Mistreatment and humiliation of a nursing mother or not?  Catch your spouse cheating? Film the cheating and post online. This guy did.

Vocal Few (Kristie and Matt MacDonald) play a song from their new Christmas EP.  Kristie fields some questions about riding on the coat tails of her husbands success, being a stay at home mom and living month to month not really knowing how much the paycheck is going to be.  And it’s working!  The fellas talk about their Thanksgiving plans and Toby’s daughter is already a schemer, concocting a plan to get people’s pity and money Sponsors and Links: DSTLD - http://dstld.com/badchristian  $10 off first pair of jeans Hint Water - http://drinkhint.com/badchristian  $15 variety pack Soothe - http://soothe.com  promo code BADCHRISTIAN for $30 towards massage BC Supply - http://bc.supply  Join the BC Club! - http://thebcclub.com/

Matt’s babysitter and friend Kayla has been in church her whole life but no longer considers herself a Christian. We talk about being adopted, her conservative upbringing and times at Hillsong college. We also talk about acting a fool when there’s open bar. We discover why Toby was crying cow tears while cutting the grass. And we're pretty sure if anybody from our show stops being a Christian, it will be pastor Joey. And in the news, farts and lasers prove to be a deadly combination.   Sponsors and Links: Harry’s Razors - http://harrys.com/ - Enter code BCPOD at checkout DSTLD - http://dstld.com/badchristian Hint Water - http://drinkhint.com/badchristian  Join the BC Club! - http://thebcclub.com/
