In Episode 20 of Season 4, Drew and Mick begin a multi-episode exploration of Pentecostalism. In this first installment, they seek to establish some definitions - what is Pentecostalism? Charismatic? Neo-pentecostalism? Third-wave spirituality? Pentecostals are on track to become the largest branch of the global church within our lifetimes. Tune in to see how and why this is significant to modern, Western believers.

In Episode 17 of Season 4, Drew & Mick continue their review of James K.A. Smith's How Not to Be Secular by looking at Chapter 2 and the process of how the world went from a belief in the transcendent to buffered "immanentization" - that is, "the process whereby meaning, significance, and 'fullness' are sought within an enclosed, self-sufficient, naturalistic universe without any reference to transcendence - a kind of 'enclosure.'" They also look at how these shifts happen primarily at the level of aesthetics (i.e., taste, imagination) rather than logically.
