Alicia and Christine crash into 2026 with “Biblical Marriage” and it is not what your youth pastor warned you about. Property trades. “Taking” wives. Being a spinster at age 24. You are not ready for biblical marriage. Or are you?

Join us as we bring together all four parts of our Advent series, The Birth According To…?, The Gospels According To…?, Jesus Of…?, and What About Us?, into one seamless, extended episode. Experience the full Advent journey as we explore the story of Jesus and the meaning of Christmas in a fresh, thoughtful, and honest way.

Sleeping in. Lutefisk. Family traditions that stuck — and the ones that didn’t. In Advent Part 4, the hosts share Christmas memories, questionable food choices, and why sometimes the best tradition is staying in bed.

Silent Night Was Not Silent. A lot of people think Jesus was born in Bethlehem because that’s where the story says it happened. But actually there was Roman violence near Nazareth at the time, which was very loud and very upsetting, so later they moved the story to Bethlehem because prophecy is important and also vibes. This teaches us that sometimes the lesson comes after the cover-up. Because honesty makes people uncomfortable.

Artist Arionna Goffinet crashes the studio to talk power, religion, queerness, astrology, grandmas-as-theology, and why femme-fatale paintings heal better than therapy. Raised between Jehovah’s Witnesses and Catholics, she turned it all into art, rebellion, and boss-lady energy. We get into spirituality, identity, Medusa, tarot, creativity, and why women in power suits belong everywhere.

Discover the wildest birth stories NOT found in your Bible! Joseph selected like he’s on an ancient dating show? A midwife burns her hand on what?? Toddler Jesus makes the news casually smiting kids and resurrecting them before snack time??? And don’t forget the dragons! Welcome to Christian Fan Fiction on Ep. 19, Part 2.

Christmas as a group project: Mark didn’t help, John changed genres, Matthew overachieved, and Luke brought props. Support our work on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ReligiousRejects

The real story. The uninvited guests. The part we never learned. Also starring: Christine vs. the Lions and Alycia pretending we’re still on topic. Happy(?) Thanksgiving!

Purity culture lied. Your youth pastor lied. Your pledge ring? A lie.

The Song of Solomon is basically Bible-era Bridgerton and Ruth is out here uncovering Boaz’s “feet.”

In this episode, we go there. Hard. Christine and Alycia talk shame, sex, courtship cults, weaponized modesty and why Joshua Harris basically started a movement he later apologized for TWICE.

If you were ever told your hormones were a demon, this one’s for you.

Focus on the Family says Halloween opens portals. Alycia and Christine say it mostly opens candy bags. This episode goes from satanic panic to queer liberation. It's a tour through hell houses, holy fear, and why some Christians still think a costume invites Satan (or why the church trips over a wig and a cape). It’s spooky season for the saints and the sinners.
