In this end-of-year special, we bring on Jahdiel Perez, a theologian at Villanova, to tell us how he prepped for his recent debate with an atheist philosopher on the hardest problem of all: the problem of evil. We discuss strategies, pros and cons of the argument, and so much more.

In this episode, we’re stirring the philosophical pot with a delightfully mischievous idea: the “Evil God Hypothesis.” What if—just go with us here—the universe were run not by a perfectly good deity, but by a cosmic supervillain who occasionally lets good things slip through the cracks? By flipping the script, we explore why people find belief in an all-good God reasonable, yet an all-evil god absurd—and whether that reaction actually holds up. We’ll dig into the origins of this argument and what this topsy-turvy thought experiment exposes about our assumptions regarding the divine.

While we're more known for our lighthearted and irreverent style, occasionally, Spiritually Incorrect tackles some more difficult topics. This episode, we ask the question: Is the United States complicit in the genocide of Native Americans? It's certainly a heavy topic, and here to help us through the issue is Marc Carpenter, a historian whose new book, The War on Illahee, tackles this topic head on.You can find Dr. Carpenter's book here!

On our special Halloween episode, we're joined by our recurring guest Shane Wood to discuss the creepiest, strangest, and most haunting events that have ever happened to us. It's spook season, and this episode is guaranteed to give you the chills as we talk about and interpret those events in our lives that leave us without explanation.Happy Halloween!

We talk a lot about Christian theology on this podcast, but have you ever heard the perspective of an atheist? How would an atheist perceive the various debates and topics within Christian theology? How powerful do they find the arguments for God's existence? What would be their views on the idea of salvation?On this episode, we intend to find out. We're joined by Cambridge scholar Emily Qureshi-Hurst, whose new book, Decoding the Cosmos, explores topics in Christian theology and their intersection with physics.

Whelp, it's the end of season three at Spiritually Incorrect, and we're taking our regular break. We'll be back in two weeks, but in the meantime, enjoy this fun little reflection from us!

In a world where so many questions arise about right and wrong, one question that has persistently popped up is: Is there even such a thing as an absolute right and wrong?In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into one of the most fundamental debates in philosophy and theology: Does objective morality require the existence of God? We explore whether moral truths exist independently of human opinion and, if so, whether those truths can stand without a divine foundation.

David Artman, author of "Grace Saves All: The Mystery of God's Inclusive Love," dives into a lively mock debate defending universalism against annihilationism and traditional eternal-conscious torment. The discussion heats up as participants engage with scriptural references and philosophical arguments about divine justice, free will, and human responsibility. Tensions rise as they explore the complexities of hell, divine love, and the implications of grace, ultimately challenging each other's perspectives while promoting a robust theological dialogue.

In this engaging discussion, David Artman, host of the Grace Saves All podcast and author of 'Grace Saves All', passionately defends universalism. He tackles tough questions around salvation, exploring the complexities between grace and traditional views of Hell. David shares insights from his interviews with notable figures in Christian universalism and discusses the implications of universal restoration on faith and God's goodness. With humor and thoughtful reflections, the conversation captivates listeners while addressing deep theological tensions.
