How do believers think about uncertainty? How do you struggle with doubt? Gomer and Luke explore their own atheistic tendencies, using the epic book, Introduction to Christianity by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (a.k.a., Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI), to help guide us.

Believers and Unbelievers alike are unable to shake their uncertainty because we are all finite, limited creatures. So how is a Christian to live with this uncertainty? No freakin' clue, but we're trying.

In the music world, Gomer is still listening to Propaganda and Luke says "Avant Garde Jazz" like 7 or 8 times.

Gomer and Luke Skype again to talk about meaningful things, like the longevity of comedians and the diversity of writers for The Golden Girls. Then Josh Dugger, Ashley Madison and the guilty plea of Jared from Subway for child porn possession. Sigh.

Then we talk about grief and loss, especially as Luke tells us of his dad's death in 2008. This is a touching tale that weaves the love and support of family, Christological suffering, the breakup of a genuine relationship and the spiritual advice to "get up off the mat and walk."

Our relationship is complicated. When our guest was in college with Luke and I, we never really talked or hung out. In fact, we all thought his sister was a lot cooler than him. But that was only because we never met him. However, after this podcast, we still like his sister more.

He's a Canon Lawyer and really, really knows his Simpsons' references. He won the spouse lottery and also has two adorable kids that they have adopted.

In this episode we cover annulments and marriage issues, culture and its relationship to Christianity, gay parenting and marriage, the Simpsons, and much, much more.

We return to that topic that we most hate about ourselves: pornography. After seeing the massive response our dear listeners gave us for episode 8, we thought that some follow up was necessary. I wanted to add a little bit of grace and conversion to the conversation that I felt like was lacking in the previous episode.

We also talk about the power parable of the Prodigal Son found in Luke 15. We reference "The Prodigal Son" by Henri Nouwen, and then do some more Bane impressions.

Oh Man! This episode is intense! We had a whole group of topics that we wanted to talk about but haven't gotten around to them and so we came up with a new game plan. We spend 10 minutes on a topic and switch between pop culture and churchy stuff, taking turns on who picks what topic to discuss. 

We cover things like:

• why EWTN only makes shows for old people that eat Werther's Originals,
• institutional racism and the shooting of Sam DuBose,
• YDisciple founder Jim Beckman, superhero of Catholic youth ministry
• weddings, wedding fights, and marriage,
• Luke's slight stutter and my "slight" weight gain,
• a spoiler review of the movie Ant-Man and its almost anti-Paul-Ruddism,
• Which immediately became about the Marvel Comic Universe, specially Avengers 2
• and the upcoming DC movies- Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad, 
• Parish life and reaching the people on the margins of faith
• Then back to talk about The Joker and Suicide Squad.
