Jesus That's Weird
Jesus That's Weird is a NSFW comedy podcast about our relationship with religion and just how frickin' weird it is sometimes. Former evangelical Christian MK explains his upbringing for his heathen husband Ian and their religiously disinclined friend Kathy, in the spirit of learning, laughs, and releasing trauma with a great deal of obscenity. Amen.

What does the end of the world look like to you? Does it involve blood cloaks, multi-headed dragons, and Bill Clinton? More importantly, is it insanely metal? In Episode 6, the gang finds out that for Evangelicals, the end is both very long and oddly specific. MK takes us through how he learned some totally sick passages from the Book of Revelation as a kid in the 1990s, Ian expresses surprise at the “zombie-ness” of it all, and Ka...
Did you have a favorite band when you were growing up? One that gave you a sense of identity and purpose? What if that purpose was saving your friends from eternal damnation by being super cool?
MK takes the gang on a deep dive into one of his favorite bands in the late 80s / early 90s, Degarmo and Key. Their 1989 album, The Pledge, represented a turning point in both Christian rock music and MK's feelings about his faith. Ian ...
He’s the (Christian) reason for the season: the man, the (not actually a) myth, the legend—Jesus Christ. Who was he? What does the bible actually say about him? Is he "super serious", or kind of a cool dude?
MK does a quasi-devotional about the opening of the Book of John, Kathy explains the flex of blue pigment in the ancient art world, and Ian talks about the ups and downs of his contextless childhood encounters with JC.

Get out your marshmallows, graham crackers, and repressed feelings of queerness, ‘cause it’s time for summer camp—Christian style. Kathy and Ian listen with glee as MK recounts his stories of several different church related camps he attended while “selling out for Jesus.” From witnessing, to being flung off a balloon into a lake, it’s all fun and games until the preaching competition goes sideways—oops! At least he'll always ...
Get ready throw up the horns (AKA "el cronado") for our very first Bonus Episode! Listener Elizabeth suggested the gang should watch the 1989 Christian documentary "Hell's Bells: The Dangers of Rock and Roll" and OH BOY DID WE EVER. MK is alternately reminded of his childhood and blown away, Kathy is inspired by Prince concert footage when she's not terrified of plant prophecies, and Ian has some sympa...
The Satanic Panic: the collective fear of Satanism sweeping North America in the 1980s. What really happened? Does playing D&D actually invoke Satan? How many times can the gang say the word “debunked”? MK tells us about his favorite ex-Satanist comedian/minister growing up, Ian breaks down the cultural timeline of events, and Kathy shares her skepticism about coordinating blood letting rituals when she can’t even schedule her ...
In which we introduce ourselves and explain a little about what it is we think we're doing here—practically, spiritually, and otherwise. MK relives getting in trouble for crossing himself, Kathy likens Catholics to a cool biker gang, and Tech Cherub Ian gets nostalgic about Narnia.
