Sorry for the lack of episodes last year. Still working on next full one. In the meantime here is a sermon I gave on how we can be both a slave to Christ and free in Christ.

Reading is from Romans 6:16-23

Two of the most common explanations for why Friday 13th is unlucky both relate to Christianity. We’ll look at both of them. It involves fun Christian history to include the Crusades, The Knights Templar, charges of heresy, holy relics, and banking. The other explanation involves the twelve disciples plus Jesus (13) and Good Friday.

Part 2 of 2 on Raiders of the Lost Ark, the first Indiana Jones movie. I will compare the movie’s and the bible’s representation of how the ark of the covenant looked and what it was for. Examining a biblical instance of the ark being captured by a evil foreign power, and scriptural instances of people actually dying from their interaction with the ark. A Jewish ritual from the movie, and looking at some imagery in the movie when they open the ark including its use of smoke, fire and lighting. I recommend listening to part 1 (episode 2) first but it is not necessary to follow along.

Manifest is chock-full of bible references but I’ll be focusing in on the show's use of Romans 8:28, Noah’s ark, as well as miracles and visions (callings as the show calls them). I will also briefly discuss Arthur C. Clarke and the Vatican’s Secret Archives.

First in a multi-part series about Indiana Jones. I'll talk about searching for holy relics in general, the contents of the ark and examine numerous theories about the whereabouts of the ark of the covenant; including the one found in Raiders of the Lost Ark which is actually based on 1 Kings 14.

This first episode is a bit of a creature feature. I'll be taking a look at the lore of the popular tabletop game D&D. We'll find out how accurate is their version of a wide variety of creatures that are also found in the bible including angels, demons, dragons and giants. I will also briefly look at some spells and the beliefs of Gary Gygax.
