Greetings emogelicals! This week, for the 11th episode of our patreon bonus show, we decided to do something special. Josh brought on a special guest, none other than podcaster, theologian, and LOTR-nerd Tripp Fuller! Josh had Tripp listen to some Lorna Shore (Tripp hates screamy music) and then we discuss the decidedly emo lyrics and what they mean to him. Plus a long, long rant about Lord of the Rings. A great time was had by all...

Greetings, congregation! Or I guess i should start with asking if you have received the gospel? Oh, you have? Well...I don't believe you. Ok, I'm being cheeky but the boys talk about whether or not street preaching, tiktok christian influencing, and recording yourself spreading the gospel are good things or not. Jed definitely has...opinions. Andrew also tells a hilarious story that he most definitely was not supposed to tell, so ,...

Greetings, Congregation! This week, as per Andrew's request, we do a drug q & a! Therefore, this is your trigger/content warning. There is some gnarly talk ahead. Andrew, Ben and Kenon ask everything theyve wanted to know about drugs and Jed's history, and it's a doozy. We barely scratched the surface, so be on the lookout for more like this!

Greetings, Emogelicals and Congregation! This week, we decided to release our TENTH episode of the patreon-exclusive show, The Emogelicals! Every month, Josh Patterson of rethinking faith get together and talk about emo music, Christianity, philosophy, and whatever deep, dark thoughts they get in to. So, that being said, this episode is more raw, opinionated, and late-night that typical, so consider that a content warning? Also, th...

Greetings, Congregation! This week, the Elders rejoin, this time with Ben, and do their best NOT to argue about Elon. (It only happens briefly). Jed had his own Gods not Dead moment in his philosophy class, and spoiler alert, the whole class is saved now. Andrew and Ben bring some white hot wisdom in regards to spiritual practice, and Andrew explains the Orthodox idea of "the Silence"

Greetings, Congregation! This week, the Elders, sans Ben, have some lively and friendly conversation....just kidding. Andrew and Jed end up having another verbal brawl, this time about whether or not billionaires like Elon Musk are ethical. At least, that's what Jed is trying to say. Andrew is just wrong. Enjoy!

Greetings, congregation! This week, Jed was part of the Pastor With No Answers: The Mixtape era crew and Hayne, Joey, Amy and Jed talked about an oft-discussed topic: does God directly intervene because of prayer? Does God intervene at all? Is that something He does, or something we just ascribe meaning to? Hayne has some definite views of his own, especially following the Asheville floods. Enjoy!

Greetings, Congregation! This week, Jed talks some about his days living with a youth pastor, and then the boys somehow venture into political territory. Andrew and Jed in particular start to duke it out, in an unexpected twist. Andrew had some views that Jed was not privy too, and boy, did he let it be known! It's all in good fun, and you guys reap the benefits.

Greetings, Congregation! This week, Jed, Joey and Robbie from Pastor With No Answers had a snow day conversation! Robbie and Jed both got historic amounts of snow here in the south, and Joey...did not. Anyway, Joey wanted to talk about an unexplainable sighting he had (aliens?) and the conversation moves to Jed still struggling with legalism and the age old question, "is God mad at me?". Plus, Joey reads Jed a letter from a listene...

Greetings, Congregation! This week, for the first time ever, Heath and Kenon together on the same show! We're gonna call it The Elder Raccoons. So, the first 20 minutes turned out to be "too hot for TV", so you'll have to head over to patreon.com/churchandotherdrugs if you want to hear it. Otherwise, the boys get into some interesting stuff- how far would you go for self-defense? Is evolution real? And then the boys' play "the Wiki...

Greetings, Congregation! This week, Kenon couldn't make it so it's just Andrew, Jed and the newly monikered Ben-adryl! (why did I never think of that?) Jed is hot and bothered about the New Jersey drones, the Government response, the UAPs...all of that. And does the Tesla Cyber Truck explosion have anything to do with it?? Let's find out.
