...I mean, probably not. But there’s an awful lot of similarities between Kanye’s Sunday Service and the Rajneesh Movement. Our failed attempt at uploading an episode last week led to us doing more research on Kanye West’s new endeavors and honestly, we’re glad we did. Hear about what we discovered, find out about Justin Bieber’s possible new Christian album, and Blake’s rant about lazy church folk who don’t wanna work on Sundays. **we do not own any of the music used in this episode and no copyright infringement is intended**

Look, we’re all guilty of being extra nice sometimes. Maybe you’re in customer service. Maybe you’re at a family reunion and Aunt Shirley is asking when you’re gonna finally settle down and have some babies. Or even worse, you’re at church and you’re just trying to do your Christian duty by talking to your brethren. But let’s face it; you hate every second of it. By definition, you are LYING. So if lying is a sin, do you think God lets it slide due to the circumstances? We’ll get into how both of us approach being nice to people, how much we’re lying, and how detrimental it is to our health.

So we watched “The Family” on Netflix and honestly, we’re shook. Being suckers for conspiracies and secret organizations, a documentary series about a Christian group living in the shadows with multiple political figures thrown in the mix just tickles our fancy. We’ll discuss the history of The Fellowship, who was involved, how controversies were handled, and exactly what they mean by “Jesus plus nothing.”
