  • Who is God? What is God? Do different theories on evolution disprove Him?
    In this episode Keith and Nate talk about different theories as to how human life got here, Why we are here, and the implications those have on the existence of a god, or gods. Could evolution have been the most viable answer to how we came to be here? Was it really all a divine plan from the beginning of time? Or could the anthropologists be correct in their assumptions that we simply evolved into the current state of being that we are currently in? And if so, what does that mean for our future? Join us as we discuss these thoughts and more on this weeks episode of Pilgrims and Prodigals!

  • Favorite Heresies, Games, and Scriptures
    In this episode Keith and Ben sit down and kick it old school with a simple Q&A type episode. We discuss Our favorite Heresy, as in the thing that we believe that would get us marked by the modern day evangelical church. We also talk about our favorite bible passages, yes you heard us correctly. Even though we may look at the bible a little differently now I firmly believe that there is still intrinsic value in it. So sit back and relax and enjoy our latest installment of Pilgrims and Prodigals.

  • Judgement from the evangelical camp
    This is more of a raw and uncensored episode where Keith and Nate sit down and address some of the negative criticism they have received since starting the podcast and beginning this journey of faith and pursuit of truth. Beware though, this is not your typical episode, we get uncensored on this one. We address some of the issues like are we really making a positive impact on culture with this? Are we really helping people find truth? Are we actually trying to unite the body of christ or are we trying to dismantle it? I guess thats up to you to decide. Enjoy this latest installment of Pilgrims and Prodigals.
