AJ had something of a revelation this weekend listening to the Gospel about St. Thomas and his doubts about Christ's resurrection, so he and Brandon talk about the struggle with doubt and St. Thomas' incredible response once he realized the truth.

Happy Easter! AJ and Brandon jump into a conversation about stewardship. Sports, capitalism, and culture all play a part in helping us come to grips with what it is and what we need to be doing.

This week, as we prepare for Holy Week and Easter, AJ and Brandon talk about the tendency to view Christ's work as restoring us to Eden and just how short that sells what Jesus accomplished.

Continuing their look at CS Lewis' Reflections on the Psalms, AJ and Brandon discuss the Psalmist sense of the after life and God's ongoing revelation through the Bible about what Heaven and Hell really are.

This week, Brandon starts us off talking about a hard conversation with an anxious 8 year old. It's all well and good talking about the faith, but how do you explain death, heaven, and hell to a kid without causing trauma or losing the reality?

This week, AJ and Brandon continue looking at CS Lewis' Reflections on the Psalms. This time, the focus is on the way the psalmist not only welcomes, but actively calls on God as his judge. Where does this confidence come from and where has it gone?

Brandon is back! This week, he and AJ talk about CS Lewis' observation that the most heated and difficult faith conversations tend to come not from faithful believers nor staunch atheists, but semi-believers. What is a semi-believer and why would those conversations be so much more difficult?

This week AJ and Bran...Wait, that's not Brandon! Instead, AJ is joined by Walther Cantu from Barbatus podcast and his Peregrino Newsletter/Blog. Walther and AJ talk about his journey in life and faith to this point. Make sure to find Walther on some future pods with us and by signing up for Peregrino at:

Wrapping up their discussion of the Silmarillion, AJ and Brandon talk about our roles as subcreators and the lessons and parallels for us found in the works of Tolkien.

As they continue looking at the Silmarilion, AJ and Brandon look at the relationship between good things and jealousy and greed that they seem to bring with them. Are the good things to blame? How do we appreciate what's good without being consumed by them?
