The Power of God and Anime Podcast, Episode 29: BtT’s Birthday, the Straw Hat Pirates, and Christian Unity

27 minutes

As always, we start this episode of the podcast with football. Wait…what? Yes, college football is on Mike’s brain as he talks about what’s going on in his life before giving this week’s anime recommendation and diving into the 15th anniversary for Beneath the Tangles and what it has to do with One Piece and unity as Christians. Check all that out and more on this episode of The Power of God and Anime podcast!

Beneath the Tangles Trivia!

What episode of the Tangle x Cast did Mike coin the moniker, “the lead fish,” for Twwk? (Note: Mike accidentally calls Twwk the “big” fish throughout this episode…or is that the right title after all?!)

Podcast Notes

Ohio State had a pretty good week—not least of all because Mike and his dad attended the game! Here’s a photo of Mike supporting the Buckeyes!

Mike’s anime recommendation today is Midori Days! Check out Mike’s discussion on this episode in reference to singleness on an episode of The Tangle x Cast.

This isn’t Mike’s first expedition with the Straw Hat Pirates: Check out his episode on One Piece and Thanksgiving, and one on Hachi, Nami, and forgiveness.

Bible passages Mike mentioned or referenced in this episode include Ephesians 4:3-6, Romans 1:16, and Galatians 2:11-14.

For today’s Songs That Tell the Story, Mike sings the hymn, “The Family of God.” Here’s a version by the Gaither Vocal Band.
