Bear with us, we're trying here! As Joel adjusts to his new role as Managing Editor of The Babylon Bee, we're working to get back into a rhythm with this podcast. Never fear! We aren't going anywhere!

No man hug this week! (sad face.) Here's a quick update though. Love y'all!

- Is "defunding the police" an issue the church needs to speak into?
Joel
- How do we fix the horrific state of our education system?
- Homeschooling
- Joel's libertarian dictatorship laws
- Youth pastors and can...
In this episode, I share some thoughts about mainstream American Evangelicalism. I think we are all headed towards a reckoning where we will all be asked to die on the hill of Biblical Christianity or follow the culture in its downward spiral. How will it end?
It's the weekly Man-Hug! As our culture, our government, and our leaders crumble all around us, we find reasons to laugh and reasons to hope.
- It's a girl!!! We give Sam more fatherhood advice
- The now-famous couple who defended their home with guns

- Where is the church in all this?
- Should pastors vocally and clearly condemn the BLM movement?
- Disappointment in Trump
- The latest Supreme Court decision
- The upco...
All around the country we are seeing statues and symbols torn down. We are seeing people canceled, their lives destroyed. This is nothing new. It can be traced back to an ancient guilt ritual over 5,000 years old.
Christ was the fulfillment of that ritual and the sacrifice for that guilt, and our country has forgotten Him.
This week, video games! Why? Because we love them, that's why!
- Our first 1-star troll review

- Our top three games of all time
- Why the 'Despicable Me' franchise is trash
- Aaron's spiritual edification corner
When the "woke left" fights racism, they always become what they are fighting against. In this episode, I make a case for the much-derided, highly unpopular phrase "all lives matter." Why would I do something so insensitive and tone-deaf? Hear me out.
The Man Hug is back at it and we have a lot to talk about!

Why did racism and segregation against black Americans persist so long after the end of slavery? The answer is pretty shocking and disturbing, at least to me. Let's talk about it.
In this episode:
- Why has racism persisted?
- Why I'm skeptical of "settled science"
- Polygenism v Monogenism
- Darwin enters the scene
- The Eugenics movement is born
- Human Zoos in America and the story of Ota Benga

Racism. Police Brutality. Rioting. Looting. Media Lies. (sigh...) Here's my obligatory response.
The Weekly Man-Hug is here! In this episode, let's talk about a most unpleasant yet essential subject: Hell.
- What is the orthodox view of hell?
- Is that view being abandoned?
- Why is this doctrine important?
- What does it teach us?
Atheists look at the universe and see vast, arbitrary, cold emptiness. I see something different. Here's why.
It's the weekly Man Hug! This week the Berry brothers talk about different types of meditation as a means for focusing on God and His word. This includes things like centering prayer and contemplative prayer. Is this stuff legit? Is it useful to the Christian?
