  • Should We Stop Celebrating Christmas?
    This week, Josh and Jesse talk about Christmas. Is it really pagan? Should we stop celebrating it? Should we care about the origins of Christmas? Turns out the answer is 'yes,' just not in the way most people think of the question.
    To dig deeper into the ideas we talked about in the episode, we recommend you check out Rob Bell's interviews with Alexander Shaia. Episode 176 | Alexander Shaia on the Mythic Power of Christmas Episode 222 | Alexander Shaia on Darkness and Hope

  • Martin and Alina Accidentally Started a Church
    This week we begin a 2-part conversation with Martin and Alina van Rensburg. They hail from sunny South Queensland, Australia, and are involved in a ministry that specially targets young adults. We talk about all sorts of stuff, from their personal struggles with the church, to the amazing story of their life group group; which grew from a bunch of young adults to one of the most diverse and exciting groups they've ever been part of.

  • Tiny Youtuber Stands up to Giant Corporation! 💯👌😂
    This week, Josh and Jesse talk about one of the most popular memelords on the internet today: Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, better known as PewdiePie (and yes, that really is his full name). More specifically, the guys discuss the beautiful idea that was Youtube, and how it has now become more 'corporate,' and how it might mean the end of individual creators.

  • Taking the Spookiness out of Spooktober
    Halloween is upon us, but fear not! Josh and Jesse are here not to scare you with stories of murder and mayhem, but rather reclaim the origins of Halloween: Hallow's Eve. The guys take a deep dive into an ancient Christian tradition of remembering and honouring the saints of our tradition, but with their own special spin. Enjoy!

  • Kaleb Eisele is an Adventist Human
    This week we interviewed Kaleb Eisele, the mastermind behind Humans of Adventism. We talked to him about how HoA started, as well as his vision for the project. We also took an unexpected turn and dug into part of his story, his loss of faith in the church, and how that faith was restored. If you want to check out Kaleb and Humans of Adventism, you can check out their Facebook and Instagram.

  • You Need a Break
    This week, we tackle one of the most important cornerstones to Adventism, and perhaps one of the most overlooked spiritual practices in Christianity - Sabbath. We talk about our experiences growing up with the Sabbath, but more importantly - why we should care about it today. May you experience true menuha.
