Skye believes in aliens, fancy razors for bald heads, and a Jesus that makes us uncomfortable in this episode of the mailbag. How can Christians disagree if the Holy Spirit indwells and guides us? Why do Christians in North America have such an icy relationship with art—does it reveal why we struggle with social justice? And is the idea that we’ll be rewarded in Heaven a type of afterlife prosperity gospel?   Get the full episode by signing up for Holy Post Plus: https://www.patreon.com/posts/117372834/

The day after the 2024 election, Skye is joined by Producer Mike Stralow and CEO Jon Houghton to respond to people's sent-in questions and live chat messages. He discusses how people who aren't happy with the result of the race can grieve and process the results—and why no matter where you are politically, you need to intentionally seek a church community.

Chris Crawford, a policy strategist with Project Democracy, joins this edition of The SkyePod to talk about the upcoming election. How have the last few years changed how elections look? Why is disinformation such a threat this year?

Skye gives a message called "God is Not a Divine Vending Machine," originally written and recorded for the Chicago Fellowship. Do we trust God's character or are we just trying to control him? And how can people perform miracles and cast out demons yet not be close to Jesus?

Skye and Kaitlyn Schiess have a spirited discussion of haunted houses, Halloween, horror movies—and what they mean for Christians. Skye digs up the startling history of the Christian version of the horror house, the Hell House, and Kaitlyn explains why she likes, but disagrees with, her favorite horror movie's vision of the world.   Get the full episode by signing up for Holy Post Plus: https://www.patreon.com/posts/skyepod-hell-114134613 A Brief History of the Haunted Houses: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/history-haunted-house-180957008/
