Midnight Mass has gotten particular attention from the church - why? It seems that the religious tropes of the series are riling up those in opposition. But what if it's more than that? Midnight Mass isn't just a depiction of the church - it's a downright brutal review of the people within the walls of the church. 

To be honest - it’s a genuinely good interpretation of the church. But how do the themes of the church in Midnight Mass and the true church of Jesus Christ in the scripture differ? Is the horrific monster behind the premise of this show really an Angel or... a Demon? Let's talk about it.

Squid Game has taken the world by storm. If you've somehow managed to avoid this series, this spoiler-free sermon analysis on Squid Game will hopefully encourage you that Christians can learn something from this new show on Netflix.

Squid Game doesn't only tell an interesting story - it's a story that Jesus also told in the Bible. Only... Jesus did it better (maybe we're a little bias). How would Jesus have ended the Squid Game? Would Jesus have run a better Squid Game than the founders did? Let's talk about it.

Toby Fox has done it again with Deltarune. Chapter 2 dropped out of nowhere and has turned the concept of meta-gaming and player control on it's head all over again. Who is really in control in Deltarune?

In this nerdy sermon, we're going to take a look at the latest chapter of the Undertale universe story being in Deltarune. Did Toby Fox perfectly sum up one of Paul's most famous passages in Romans? Let's talk about it.
