The Disorganized Religion Podcast

In this week’s episode, the crew reacted to the first round of voting in the College Mascot Bracketeering Challenge (The Tree Lives!), and then things took a turn for the Biblical.  What was meant to be a brief sample of what the lunchtime Gen Z College and Early Career group would be like on Sundays became a deep theological dive for the rest of the podcast.  Come on in and dive along with us! 

This week the host crew takes a guess at which fake part of the fake Titanic was recently purchased for more money than any real part of the real Titanic ever was, Lilly makes sandwiches, Troy and Chu prove that they know very, very little about women, the crew reflects on how "newsworthy" Kate Middleton's photoshop skills should be, and Pastor Matt saves Handel's Messiah. 

This week the DeRP crew debates the pros and cons of pushing a man off a bridge, identifies the behaviors of the chivalrous gentleman, and just generally enjoys a heaping dollop of discussion by four of our usual rawgabbit blatherskite hosts while Troy was off wankling his guitar somewhere.

The DeRP discusses discrimination, the ethics of making a fortune off of a $3.99 Goodwill purchase, which of the hosts should make Shohei Othani money, and more--including an epic existential, extraterrestrial, theological rabbit hole that Pastor Matt hopes none of his seminary professors will hear. 

The Grinch takes on Buddy the Elf, the hosts give their thoughts on some creative shenanigans pulled by some elves on the shelves, and it turns out that none of us have been hit by enough meteors yet to have a shot at winning the Powerball lottery.

The DeRP crew overcomes a dramatic Christmas Movie Bracketeering first-round shocker to cover such diverse topics as life in the little town of Bethlehem in the Heritage parking lot, Buddy the Elf, college rejections, God's will, songs that we can't leave unfinished, Christmas music rules, the height of Matt's new Darth Vader, and their thoughts on the best smells in the world.

The DeRP crew ponders the Disney Princess Bracketeering challenge as the field is narrowed down to two, the dramatic story of trying to replace Quasimodo, a villainous new Mount Rushmore, how big is a billion, the need for subtitles, a sneak preview of the next Bracketeering challenge subject, and some training on how to be saved by the bell when you find yourself in a tight spot. 

The DeRP gang will only go so far to rescue a dropped phone, turns out the hosts actually listen to Matt's sermons, the Bracketeering Final Four has only one Mount Rushmore Disney Princess, Snapchat is the 12th most popular social media app--thus justifying Matt's Snap Score of 8, and it's not Thanksgiving cranberry sauce without a good opening "shlurp."

Disney Princesses battle it out to get through to round two, the Magic Kingdom has a new app that creates a different kind of magic, secret service agents are bitten by the First Dog, DRP hosts are outraged at Halloween candies left out of the top ten, and when Lilly heads to the ER on Sunday morning and can't sing in church, it's a DeRP mom who swoops in to save the day, because DeRP moms are legends.

The DRP gang discusses sermon head fakes, NFL MVP Taylor Swift, career opportunities as a guard of expensive cave cheese, the world's first (and last) payphone app, and being defeated by a Capri Sun. 

The DeRP gang is back to help Pastor Matt learn Snapchat, recap Ioanna's day ruling the world, debate a big induction into the Toy Hall of Fame, decide on what is "tipworthy," and to admire someone who was "named" a new Guinness World Record holder.

The host gang welcomes new hosts Troy and Josie to the mix, and we cover all the topics you care about: hurricane pythons,  far flung flamingoes, an unusual number of vomiting stories, things that are and are not in the Bible, Ioanna's first time being in charge on a Sunday at Heritage UMC this coming weekend, and Chu's feet.

New host Lilly Barr joins the crew as we cover a new take on the WWJD bracelet, roommate dealbreakers, and which host would be the last one to be reported missing by friends or family if abducted by space aliens.
