That Jesus Podcast

Yup, we are actually going to try to revive this thing.

This time we pulled in Chris Witmer as a regular co-host to provide that extra kick we need to pull it off...

In this episode we discussed Chris' squeamishness around getting excited about a drug bust, whether staying "local" is a virtue, and more.

Let's hope it isn't another year before our next episode (fingers crossed).

Dru and Francis are back to kick off 2025 with a review of the news, a bit of a Bible study, and the lofi banter you didn't know you missed in 2024.

Despite the snark, we really care about this project, and are excited to get back on air! Let us know what you think, and share ideas for topics, guests, and musical cues.

What are the evangelical messages around sex, desire, spirituality, and beauty actually doing to us and our children? Sheila Wray Gregoire shares research on this question, and offers healthy, Jesus-centered alternatives. We also hash out social media conversations, celebrity, and much more.

Once again, we dive into Judges, and think about how the mighty Gideon fell from faith to cowardly idolatry. But first: a recap of what we’ve been reading lately, and corny poems for spring.

This week, I drag @WalterRothbard off Twitter and into a wide-ranging conversation on political theory, marriage, and anger. David (real last name not disclosed) has an amazing testimony of the transforming power of Christ's peace over anger. We get into some turbulent waters as we consider critiques against an author that David has benefited from and conclude with some practical advice about overcoming anger.

What is liturgy? Are written prayers a form of “vain repetition” or a tool to avoid that rut? An Anglican pastor joins Dru to discuss this and more, along with friend-of-the-pod Kimberly Witmer!
