Wherever spirituality collides with the oddities of science, philosophy, politics, culture, or history–there we will be. For Christians looking to explore the weird and the wonderful, this is the podcast for you.

The Spirituality of... Quantum Physics?
The world of quantum physics is a strange one, but it is becoming increasingly popular with the recent Marvel movies. In this episode, we explore the possible implications of quantum physics on spirituality. Specifically, we decided to shake things up a bit and have Allan Furic, a PhD candidate at the University of Edinburgh, speak to the strange alignment between the thought of quantum physicist David Bohm and certain aspects of Buddhism. It's as weird and wacky of an episode as you'll see from us!

Muslim vs Christian Debate!
In the first of its kind on our show, we have a (friendly) debate with Paul Williams, the host of Blogging Theology and prominent Muslim apologist. We argue whether the New Testament (particularly the earlier documents) can tell us whether or not Jesus saw Himself as divine.

Should the Church Be Political?
Another US election, and everyone is back to arguing! But mixed in with these discussions are questions about Christianity and the role of the church in politics. Bishop Budde just made the news over her comments to President Trump. Vice President Vance has appealed to theordo amoris in his politics. It seems the question of church-state relations is more relevant than ever, but what is the right approach? How should Christians react to politics? Is it right to try and push Christian agendas? Or should we leave our faith out of the ballot box?

Are Séances and Psychics Real?
We're back with our third annual Halloween episode! This year we tackle the strange world of mediums, psychics, telepathy, and beyond as we interview R. Alan Streett, a professor of theology at Criswell College and author of the new book Exploring the Paranormal: Miracles, Magic, and the Mysterious.

Who are the Spiritual but not Religious?
The West is rapidly losing its religion, but strangely, that does not mean it is losing its belief in the supernatural. In fact, such beliefs are as common as ever. The "Spiritual but not Religious" subgroup has quickly become one of the biggest and fastest-growing groups in the US and other Western nations.
But who are they? What do they believe? And where did this trend come from? In this episode, we discuss (in obsessive detail) the origins and common threads surrounding the Spiritual but not Religious.

Who Are the Spiritual but Not Religious? (Part 2)
While in our last episode, we talked about who the spiritual but not religious are, this episode we tackle what we, as a church, ought to do about it. Is there anything we can learn from this movement? Or should we see it as something completely hostile to Christianity?

Design Arguments in Islam and Judaism
When you look into the night sky, it can sometimes be tough not to think that there is a designer to it all. And, as it turns out, it is not just Christians who have thought this. The design argument, an apologetic argument that seeks to show God's existence from evidence for design, has had a long history in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. What do these other faiths have to say? Are they much different from Christianity's claims? And are they convincing?
Here to help us through this issue are Erkki Rope Kojonen and Shoaib Malik who have just published a new, groundbreaking book on this very topic!
