Prophets vs. Priests: Holy Turf Wars, Clapbacks, and Clerical Catfights


šŸ“ Episode Summary:

What happens when self-proclaimed messengers of God go head-to-head with institutional gatekeepers in robes? Absolute biblical chaos—and we’re here for it. In this delightfully blasphemous bonus episode, our favorite husband-and-wife heretics dive into the messy theological distinction between prophets and priests. Spoiler: one screams in the wilderness, the other collects tithes in a temple. But can you be both? Turns out, yeah... sometimes. And it gets petty fast.


We unpack the biblical beefs—Jeremiah calling a priest ā€œTerror on Every Sideā€ (ouch), Amos clapping back with a ā€œyour wife’s a whoreā€ prophecy, and Micah straight-up nuking the entire clergy class for accepting bribes and screwing up justice. The line between divine inspiration and delusional ego has never been blurrier, especially when the institution’s corrupt and the watchdogs might be tripping literal balls.


Expect hilarious rants, woodsy prophet cosplay ideas, and a total theological roast of anyone claiming to hear God’s voice… especially if they’re asking for your money. If you’ve ever wondered who’s more full of it—Old Testament priests or their rival prophets—this episode’s for you.

"They often quote, unquote, receive visions, dreams, or divine encounters… Depends who you ask. Like, I could say that."
