In this episode, Matt and JP reflect on the tragedies that occurred over the weekend. The Club Pulse shooting in Orlando is already being identified as the largest mass shooting in American history, and the guys take time to acknowledge the importance of grace, mercy and lament in a time such as this. Since the podcast is essentially based out of Florida -- JP and Chuck also grew up in Orlando -- this tragedy hits very close to home for us, and we dedicate this episode to the victims and to the family of the victims of this horrible incident.

In this episode we discuss The Apocalypse, The Book of Revelation, and a lot of Buffy and Angel references are dropped. The end of the world is a sensitive, sacred subject for a lot of Christians, mainly because the rapture was probably used to convert them. But Father Chuck drops a bomb on the idea of the rapture, and everything presented by Left Behind-ism. Ultimately though? This episode is about more than just the end of the world and riffing on apocalypse fiction. We go deep into what it means when everything is written, when fate is sealed, when all is said and done, how does it inform who we are and how we act? Also Harley's and Uzi's.

It seems like these days everything we love is problematic. But did you know that there was a time when everything you loved was Satanic? I mean it probably still is, but used to be, too. Welcome to the Satanic Panic! It was an era in American religious paranoia where every parent feared that their children would be tormented by Satan and his minions through their toys, cartoons, movies, music, videogames and table top RPG's. Abandon all hope ye who rolls a D20! The panic was so widespread and impacted so many homes that its effects are still felt today - just look at the exploitation of fear and outrage from modern media.

In this episode we're joined by another Guest Co-Host, our good friend Keelan. Keelan is a musician who works for a non-profit, and has known Father Chuck since they were children. Unfortunately Matt couldn't make it because of a bout with a cheese grater (the cheese grater won), but he is certainly with us in spirit as we take on THE SATANIC PANIC!

ROB BELL joins JP, Matt and Father Chuck as we conclude the spiritual trilogy that started with nostalgia, continued with hype and now comes full circle with being fully present. Rob and the guys then proceed to touch on the spirituality found in surfing, and how to discover your voice. There also might be some talk about Dukes of Hazzard and CHiPS. Of course this all happens after the guys have to seek composure because, holy crap you guys, it's Rob Bell -- New York Times Best-Selling author of books such as Velvet Elvis, Love Wins, and How to Be Here! -- AND HE IS ON OUR PODCAST. You do not want to miss our best episode yet! You will not be disappointed!

JP, Father Chuck and Matt are joined by Official Friend of The MoDCast Father Fun! You may remember him as our first guest way back on Episode 7 where we talked about video games. In this episode, he brings up the issue of hype, and how we've all succumbed to it. The guys also talk about how the Marvel Cinematic Universe is absolutely killing it, and go into detail on how much they all loved Captain America: Civil War (Careful, spoilers abound if you haven't seen it!). In usual Masters of Divinity fashion, however, we also talk about the theological and real-life consequences of hype, and how it relates to the narrative of our lives. It's a keeper folks! Enjoy!

And just how does one stay present in a world obsessed with the past? Find out today in episode 10!
