Faith On Tap episodes

  • How are you...really?

    We’re at Brewery Legitimus in New Hartford, CT, having an excellent stout and having a real, down-to-earth chat about that question everyone asks: “How are you?”

    Expect laughs about fitted sheets, honest takes on gratitude, marriage, church life, and simple nudges to actually check in with people. Pull up a stool — this one feels like talking with a close friend.

  • Fearfully, Wonderfully...Still Me (What wouldn't you change about yourself)

    We grabbed a beer at Brewery Legitimus, munched on pizza, and asked a simple but surprising question: what’s one thing you wouldn’t change about yourself? Guests shared honest, warm takes on gratitude, marriage, honesty, and the little quirks that make them who they are.

    It’s a relaxed, friendly chat that might make you smile, think, and feel a bit more graceful about the parts of you you’d never trade.

  • Emotion Erasing?

    We visited Alvarian Beer Co., grabbed a Philly steak sandwich, and asked strangers a weird little question: if you could get rid of one emotion forever, which would it be? From anger to envy to fear, folks opened up about what weighs on them and why.

    Listen for honest, funny, and kind moments — Nicole talking about anger stealing time with loved ones, Miranda on envy pushing a career change, Jeremy on fear and time — and a whole lot of human stuff that feels oddly hopeful. Come hang out with us.

  • Mega Duck or a Pony Swarm?

    We’re hanging out at Alvarium Beer Company, sipping some questionable stouts and asking the classic bizarre question: would you rather fight a horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses? The answers are hilarious, honest, and a little gross (seriously, marshmallow-peanut-butter stouts).

    We end up twisting the fun into something deeper: are we battling a hundred tiny temptations every day, or one huge sin that sneaks in when we start to rationalize? Our pastor shares real, practical thoughts — put on your spiritual armor, pause when irritation hits, and ask the Holy Spirit for a little help before you explode.

  • Are You Spiritual or Religious?

    We spent an evening at Cheshire Craft with pizza and strangers-turned-confessors, asking: are you spiritual, religious, or none of the above?

    You’ll hear everything from proud Catholic check-ins and Methodist memories to painful grief and anger at God, plus the honest reality of church hurt and what it means to still have faith in Jesus.

    This episode is warm, messy, and real — a reminder that faith looks different for everyone, and sometimes the best conversations happen over food and a beer.

  • What Is your Worst Pain?

    Listen to real folks at Cheshire Craft Brewing share the worst pain they've ever known—childbirth, losing a spouse, caregiving struggles, surgeries, and the messy middle of grief.

    It's raw, comforting, and full of small mercies: faith, friends, cold beer, and the little moments that help us keep going.

  • I Used to Think That?

    We grabbed burgers and beers at Counterweight Brewery and asked folks a simple question: what did you used to believe that now seems totally silly? The answers are funny, blunt, and occasionally heartfelt — from Segways and Santa to faith, government, and getting older.

    It’s casual conversation you’d have with a friend: funny food notes, surprising confessions, and a few moments that stick with you.

  • Would Aliens Rewrite Your Universe?
    This week's episode features interviews at Counterweight Brewing in Cheshire, CT, where patrons share how discovering definitive proof of extraterrestrial life would impact their daily lives and worldview. The hosts then discuss biblical perspectives on aliens, exploring relevant scriptures, theological implications, creation, and whether extraterrestrial life would challenge or align with Christian beliefs. The conversation gets lively and provocative.

  • Do You Have a Moral Code?

    Join us at Kinsman Brewing as we chat over sandwiches and pizza with locals about whether morality comes from family, society, or God. We ask real people — parents, a psychotherapist, and longtime locals — what guides their ‘oughts’ and why sacrificial love feels so strange if evolution is all there is.

    It’s casual, curious, and honest — part laughs, part thoughtful pushback, and sprinkled with C.S. Lewis–style questions about fairness, conscience, and whether God is the source of our moral code. Pull up a chair like you’re right here with us.

    40 min
  • Forgiving the Unrepentant

    At Kinsman Brewing in Southington, CT, the hosts ask patrons whether it's okay to forgive someone who never apologizes.

    Interviews include a psychotherapist’s view on releasing anger for one’s own health, personal stories about trust and betrayal, and a discussion of biblical teachings on forgiveness, reconciliation, and grace.

    The episode explores practical, emotional, and spiritual reasons people do—or don’t—forgive, and the difference between forgiving and reconciling.
