Episodes

An All Powerful Genie! 07.07.2026

Note to the listener: If it sounds like the recording abruptly stops at the 26 min mark, that's because it did. We had a recording glitch that cut short Dr. Nathan Vanhorn's examination of Roman's 9 as a hope for the reversal of a hard heart. Apologies. - Gandalf

Crash Out 28.04.2026

The Rabbit was a Rabbi! 21.04.2026

My Moves Are Weak 20.01.2026

(Exodus 4:10-17) The excuses keep on coming out of Moses's mouth, and the accommodation keep coming out of God's

You Won’t Like Me When I’m Angry 13.01.2026
