On this episode, we discuss some of the implications that the possible existence of extraterrestrial life has for the Christian faith. Although this may seem like an odd topic to discuss, it is very relevant. With some of the most recent inexplicable sightings and an official note from the Pentagon on this topic, and in it stating that they will publish a file on UFO sightings in June, we found it particularly important to address what this means for the people of both reason and faith.Support the show

On this episode, we discuss the existence of evil and its manifestation in the world. We also talk about how God and evil can exist at the same time. But, this question is difficult to approach. On the one hand, evil is mysterious because it is sub-rational, therefore, not completely definable. Furthermore, evil is properly considered "non-being" because it is a lack of existence rather than an existent thing. Yet, on the other hand, we see it everywhere, it is seemingly more prominent than goodness. How did it come about? What is it? Why does it exist!? This episode dives into the depths of this topic's inquiry.Support the show

On this episode, we take on something new, namely a commentary on popular culture.
