The Blue Episode - Trappist Taps & Divine Imprints: Calvin vs. the Skeptics (Pt. 1)


Listen Later

In this episode, we pour into the St. Bernardus Belgian Tripel and explore the rich legacy of Trappist brewing—monks, monasteries, and malt. Then we open the first half of Book 1, Chapter 5 of Calvin’s Institutes, where he argues that God’s fingerprints are unmistakably etched into creation, though skeptics try to scrub them out. Foam, ferment, and foundational theology await.

Also: we’ve got a brand-new studio setup courtesy of Seth’s lovely (and stylishly blue-inclined) wife!
