The Disorganized Religion Podcast

Send us Fan Mail This week on the DeRP, it is well with the host crew's souls because Pastor Matt is back from Alaska.  The crew discusses the snack needs of the average baboon, we see how well they know national anthems of teams in the world cup as well as the rules of soccer, they give a review of "Instagram Plus" and how it'll chase stalkers back to Facebook, and then they s...

Send us Fan Mail This week on the DeRP, the host crew gets to the bottom of the pickling; after using AI, Pastor Matt's not worried about a Terminator situation occurring; we fail to name the Morgan and Morgan political party; the host crew can't think of any reasons why someone would not want to go to church (at Heritage); and the DeRP would be a delicious smoothie.

Send us Fan Mail This week on the DeRP, Gianna puts cheese on foods where Lilly and Matt think it should not go.  They were about to draw the line at "cheese in hot chocolate" when Kendall UMC's Rev. Ruben Velasco swept in by phone and backed her up.  The gang also tested out the new gameshow buzzer system, which worked better than the answers the hosts gave; Matt fooled everyone wi...

Send us Fan Mail This week the podcast follows a tough day for the host crew as Taylar, Gianna, and Lilly recap their experience of leading during the difficult funeral of one of our preschool students who was taught music by Lilly and chapel by Pastor Matt.   Today's episode recapped a busy two weeks at Heritage--church and a DeRP lunch with the bishop, skate night, and this year, the UMC&ap...

Send us Fan Mail This episode of the DeRP was a clandestine operation by Pastor Matt to smuggle in a guest host crew consisting of DeRP boyfriends Ben Jimenez (Aubrey), Ryan Ullery (Lilly), and fiancée Jacob Bertke (Taylar) to give the podcast a rare infusion of conversation about cars, food, sports, and history.  The guest hosts identified candies moonlighting as jelly beans during easter Easter...

Send us Fan Mail This week on the DeRP, our singers SANG, the host crew was disturbed to learn of a new ABC song to combat the epidemic of LMNOP combining, everybody shares their Roman Empires, Pastor Matt is educated on GenZ vocabulary, and it turns out we've all given more thought than you'd expect to what we'd do if zombies attack--that is, except for Lilly and Aubrey, because th...

Send us Fan Mail In this week's episode, Matt admits to being a little behind on a certain project, then kills the vibe a bit by talking about the theology of war and peace in light of the war with Iran, but things rebound when an eagle drops a cat through a sunroof, AI translates English into English with a French accent, a llama makes a Taco Bell run, and Lilly makes a convincing case that...

Send us Fan Mail This week on the DERP, 5 minutes takes 20 minutes, the host crew reviews the whole Bible, the earth's core slows down, Gianna considers a new option for replacing the divot in her brain and improving her score in Pong, and no one really feels like applying for the role of "Rat Czar." Support the show

Send us Fan Mail This week on the DeRP your hosts tried out one of Matt's ideas, and it was good, unlike his avalanche joke in the sermon this morning.  We also covered the sovereignty of God, which sugary treats can successfully be turned into candy canes, and shared their thoughts on Extreme Ironing, Chess Boxing, and the Catditarod.   Support the show

Send us Fan Mail This week the crew recaps Christmas music Sunday, has all kinds of skin and scalpcare tips for Pastor Matt, shares their honking wishlists, discovers a lack of Gospel overlap in the Christmas story, and covers a good bit of Bible studying too. Support the show

Send us Fan Mail      Today's episode follows a rockin' day at Heritage UMC as Lilly, Aubrey, and Gianna were the singers at the 9am service and crushed it.  Then, Gianna and Jason Langdon performed a great Popular/For Good/Defying Gravity mashup as the sermon bumper at both services so that following it would surely make Pastor Matt's sermon a total letdown.  Way to go, Gianna...  ...

Send us Fan Mail      Today's episode was all about girl power, sans Troy and Chu.  (Between his wife, daughters, and even their girl dog; Pastor Matt's had nothing but girls in his life for the last 25 years, so it seemed pretty status quo for him.)  TBH, the power was abundant.  The gang of girls covered Pastor Matt's missteps--or maybe we should call them "long jogs"--i...

Send us Fan Mail           This week on the DeRP, the hosts debate which is worse--Chihuahuas or paradigms, recap the results for round 1 of Bracketeering: Top Dogs , can't decide if Lilly is old enough to have ever had a phonebook, discuss the Beatitudes and how to construct a durable soul, design the best possible TV newscast lineup but still wouldn't watch it, learn that Gianna knows...

Send us Fan Mail Today the crew is plagued by animal phobias, confuses Magellan and Marco Polo, suggests some possible fallback jobs for Pastor Matt if preaching doesn't work out, talks about who they voted for in 2nd grade, predicts the outcome on the latest season of "Bracketeering," (Top Dogs Edition!) and is reminded by Pastor Matt about what comes after "I don't know,...

Send us Fan Mail This week Taylar joins the crew and talks gross nursing experiences, rock band life, and wedding food variety; Pastor Matt invites everybody to reflect on the difference between activity vs. identity when it comes to following Jesus; and it turns out there are a few Guinness World Records that are just asking to be set except for the fastest 100 meter barefoot run on Legos, which...

Send us Fan Mail This week the host gang tackled both religion and politics in light of the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk, but also had fun like they always do being the best church ever, including some quick takes on the King of Swans and finding the point where shoes are just too uncomfortable regardless of how good they look.  Support the show

Send us Fan Mail In today's episode no one wants to live in an abandoned Nazi bunker, that Denmark zoo makes another appearance, everybody is going to be more careful around their cats, everybody agrees they want their hair and toothpaste to remain separate, and nobody is paying $1,000 to go to a wedding, then they changed their minds, and then they weren't sure.  Support the show

Send us Fan Mail In this week's episode, wiener dogs get even more impressive.  On top of that, the host crew has no enthusiasm for going to the zoo in Denmark, interprets Gianna and Taylar's mid-song facial expressions, wonders what vegans "come out of" when revealing their vegan-ness, and find Matt's sermons way more interesting when he preaches them sitting down. Suppor...
