Don’t Wait Until Tomorrow to listen to this Faith Adjacent deep dive on the life and lyrics of John Mayer. Host Erin Moon is Bold as Love as she explores John Mayer’s Shadow Days, Katy Perry conspiracy theories, and what to do when you can’t Say What You Need to Say. This conversation is framed around the larger concept of musical torchbearers because Who Says we can’t have someone take us to church when they may not actually know how to get there themselves?
Disclaimer: You might want to Stop This Train if you have little ears around as we dive into some of John’s more scandalous interviews.

Faith Adjacent: John Mayer

Conversations involving faith are often fraught with scholarly nerd alerts about ancient linguistics and inaccessible theological discussions centered around hermeneutics. But what if there was a way to use your pop culture literacy to enhance your biblical literacy? Welcome to Faith Adjacent, the podcast where we try to understand the modern dynamics of faith through a combined commitment to uncomfortable honesty, authentic weirdness, and critical thinking. Faith Adjacent is hosted by Knox McCoy and Jamie Golden of The Popcast along with Resident Bible Scholar Erin Moon.
