    Send us Fan Mail

    Avoid God's wrath by joining Ben, Jonny, Adam and returning guest James Sholl, pastor of Toronto’s Wellspring Worship Centre, as they ask 'why did Jesus (have to) die?' Is penal substitution just divine child abuse? Does Jürgen Moltmann's solidarity theory hold up? And most importantly, how many times can Ben say the words "lick out" before we never want a Caramel Egg again?

    Send us Fan Mail

    Get yourself a beer and the roasted flesh of the cutest animal you can find, then buckle up and tune in for the manliest UK-based leftist Christian podcast ever!

  • Ep.69 - How Do We Know What We Know? (feat. Professor Oli Mould)

    Send us Fan Mail

    It's time for the big one: just how exactly do we know what we know? In episode 69 (nice!), Adam and Jonny have invited special guest Professor Oli Mould to talk with them about epistemology. Can they work out how to tell truth from lie in a post-truth world? Or will they fall prey to the postmodern neo-Marxists trying to spread their WOKE agenda? There's only one way to find out!

    Send us Fan Mail

    It's finally happened! Beer Christianity's Jonty Langley has degraded himself (further?) by appearing on a lesser UK-based leftist Christian podcast! Join Ben and Adam as they quiz Jonty about the need for new leftist Christian media, as well as the new magazine that's playing its part!

  • Ep.66 - Does the UK have a Christian far-right?

    Send us Fan Mail

    Does the UK have a Christian far-right? Yes... yes it does. We can't believe this is even a question, but one academic paper claims otherwise. Join Ben and Adam as they take a look.

    NB There is no video this week because *someone* forgot to record it! Sorry about that.

  • Ep.65 - The Evangelical Alliance

    Send us Fan Mail

    The Evangelical Alliance have been having a bit of an a recruitment drive on social media. This annoyed Adam so much that he insisted we do an episode about them and their shit!

    Also present for today's episode are actual bona fide saint, Moses the Black; official enemy of the pod, Calvin Robinson, and fascist Vice President of the United States of America, JD Vance.

  • Ep.64 - The Fall of Justin Welby

    Send us Fan Mail

    We planned this episode before Justin Welby announced his resignation and recorded it shortly after the news broke. It was set to be our most timely and relevant episode yet! But then Adam fell ill and couldn’t edit it in time. So, if you can, cast your mind back to last week, and this will all feel strikingly prescient—dare we say, prophetic even!

  • Ep.63 - One Year On: Palestine and the Complicity of Neutrality

    Send us Fan Mail

    Ben and Adam reflect on a year of faith leaders' moral failure in response to Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people as well as a much better response from liberation theologian, Sarojini Nadar. They also talk about Saint of the Week, St. John Chrysostom. That's right, an actual official saint for Saint of the Week! And what's up with sports journalists covering for athletes who have committed horrific crimes? Ben helps us think through some ongoing cases in Mingrapes.
