You Never Studied

Hans and Evan say farewell to all the wonderful listeners of You Never Studied on this ultimate (final) episode of the show. 

People like NFTs. People also think they are dumb because cryptocurrency is ephemeral and not real. Hans and Evan discuss fandom around digital currency (among other things) and what that teaches us about ourselves and God. Then Evan reviews a book geared at Christian students that enroll in religion classes at secular universities and the challenges that come with them.  Then Evan discusses "The Outer Banks" on Netflix.

Finally, an announcement for the YNS faithful. 

Hans and Evan attempt to understand the continual tumult in celebrity pastor culture, Hans reviews a book on creating powerful moments, and it's time for another MCU roundup, giving their reviews on both Black Widow & Loki (spoilers!).

With Evan out, Hans and Dale get together to talk about eldering. Dale is in an elder process at his church and Hans tries and talk him out of it (not really). Then Dale shares a story about a time that he was walking around with friends and broke a bone.

Why are videogamers better at finding cheaters than physicians? What is the world coming to and how do Christians respond? What is this show about that Evan's watching (Hans doesn't know)? Thanks for joining us for this episode!

Welcome to the first of two episodes about stealing (or cheating, or stretching truth). Pastor plagiarism has made its way into the limelight. The world tries to tell better stories, but Jesus has the best. Finally, The Tomorrow War basically every sci-fi movie in a blender.

Note: this podcast mentioned Lecrae suing Katy Perry. This statement gets at least one pinocchio. Lecrae was named on a lawsuit against her for a song he was featured on with Flame. However, Lecrae dropped his name from the suit. Source: https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2019/july/katy-perry-dark-horse-lawsuit-beat-stealing-chh-flame.html

What happens when you try to do things the right way and it doesn't work out? A lot happens—and it isn't all good.  Evan is working through a great book on election—and he's also serving as a post-apocalyptic mail courier. We aren't joking.

Indiana Jones just turned 40! Hans and Evan discuss a criticism lobbed at Raiders of the Lost Ark--namely, that the plot doesn't matter, and we discuss criticism in general and when and how to respond. Then Hans reviews a book by J.C. Ryle. And finally, Evan talks about watching The Chosen.

Hans and Evan have a spoiler-filled discussion about the first two episodes of the new MCU Disney Plus Series LOKI.
