In this episode, we discuss baseball player turned evangelist Billy Sunday. We talk about his early life, his ball career, his conversion, his unique speaking style, his rise and fall, and his family life.

We also talk about how he changed the game for evangelists who would come after him.

And also we play a game called Creed Lyric or Bible Verse.

As always we are not experts, we just google this stuff.

In this episode, we talk about the radio show turned Christian media empire and consistently hateful organization Focus on the Family. We discuss it’s founder James Dobson, the history or the organization, its magazines, and its children’s shows.

We also talk about the ways they fight against same sex marriage, same sex couples adopting, teens being ok with who they are, and gay teens not getting bullied.

Just a wonderfully terrible organization.

In this episode, we discuss the infamous hippie cult, Children of God, aka Teens for Christ, The Family of Love, The Family, or finally The Family International. We talk about its leader David Brandt Berg, aka King David, Mo, Moses David, Father David, Dad, or Grandpa. We talk about their view of “free love” and how it seemed more like mandatory sex. We discuss the rampant abuse and the practice of “Flirty Fishing” which was having sex with men in order to convert them.

It’s a rough one.

In this episode we discuss pandemics and epidemics, how the church responded to them, and how people responded to the church. We discuss people wondering why the church failed to predict the black death, or why God wasn’t protecting his priests, or the religious leaders who said it was a punishment from God. We discuss religious people failing to act in a way when the AIDS crisis began, the catholic church denying condoms, or those like Jerry Falwell and Billy Graham who said it was punishment from God. We also discuss the pastors who refuse to close their doors during the COVID 19 pandemic, and of course those who say it’s punishment from God.

As always we are not experts, we just google this stuff.
