The Holy Post

OT scholar Dr. John Walton discusses the concept of hell in the Old Testament, exploring ancient beliefs and contrasting them with neighboring cultures. The podcast also delves into the disconnect between beliefs and actions in Christianity, cultural influences on theology in the New Testament, and the importance of re-examining distorted views of hell.

Phil and the gang are out on vacation, so we're repeating a classic episode. A discussion with Old Testament scholar and friend of the show Dr. John Walton about his book – "The Lost World of Adam and Eve." Were Adam and Eve real people? Were they created immortal? And what's with that crazy "No really – God made you from my rib" story? Worth a second listen!

No one seems to agree on anything anymore in America. Law professor and author John Inazu joins Phil and Skye to talk about living Christianly in a pluralistic society, and his new book, "Confident Pluralism."

There are more refugees in the world now than at any other time in history. World Relief's Matthew Soerens joins us to talk about the crisis, the politics, and what we as the church can do about it.

Devotions! The kind you might have in the morning! Or not. Phil, Skye and Christian talk about daily devotions - what they do, what works for them, what might work for you, too. Also, Mel Gibson is back, Baptists forget who they are, and adult baby diapers. Not adult diapers. Baby diapers. For adults. Yeah, we don't get it either.

Gorillas in Cincinnati! Atheists Find God! Christian music is relentlessly happy! Katelyn Beatty joins the podcast to talk through apes, atheists, and much, much more.

Phil and Skye are rejoined by old friend Drew Dyck for a lively discussion on the latest twists in the bathroom wars; whether or not American democracy is collapsing, and cheese. Yes, that's right. Cheese. This week on the podcast!

Documentary Filmmaker Nathan Clarke joins the gang to talk about producing his short film "Bono and Eugene Peterson: The Psalms," a beautifully shot account of the unlikely friendship between the 83 year-old Christian author and the U2 frontman.

Russell Moore is President of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention (I'm tired just from typing that) and - as of last week - a new "Enemy-of-the-Trump." Phil and Skye talk to Dr. Moore about religious liberty and the thrill of being attacked by the Great Orange One on Twitter!

This is it! The 200th episode! The one we've been waiting for for nearly, gosh, nearly 200 episodes! Phil and the gang answer tons of questions from listeners and viewers, plus a big announcement. Today on the podcast!
