Religion EN ↓ 283 episodes

Welcome to the We Should Know Better Podcast (fka Bros, Bibles & Beer)!We believe that exploring the depths of faith, theology, and culture shouldn't feel like sitting through a dry lecture. Whether we're dissecting complex scripture or discussing how faith intersects with modern life, we do it with honesty, humor, and the realization that—honestly—we should probably know better by now. Join us for unfiltered conversations that challenge the mind without losing the heart (or the sense of humor).

The Saint Who Would Be Santa Claus w/ Adam English (re-release) 18.12.2020

It's a classic re-release! Merry Christmas! Adam C. English joins us to talk about the real St. Nick! "The history of Nicholas presents a tantalizing riddle. At first, there is nothing―no writings, disciples, or major acts. Then, curiously, story fragments and rumors begin to surface like driftwood in the water. A church is built in his honor at Constantinople and the next thing you know, he'...

152. On Fire and Burned Out 01.12.2020

This week we get into the topic of ministry burnout - do churches tend to take advantage of and overwork people, or do people do it to themselves?

Oh, and Andy made a mistake and got the ratios all wrong for the gin & tonics consumed during the recording of this episode and for the subsequ...

150. Politics-Shmolitics 10.11.2020

I don't know about you, but we're sure ready for things to go back to (not new) normal. In this week's episode we chat about some of the latest election drama, Kenneth Copeland's reaction gigglefest, Benny Hinn's crusades and comedian Jimmy Dore calling it straight down the middle. Oh and somehow Scott lost track of time in a bar and wasn't able to make it. - Leave us a voicemail at anchor.fm/bbbp...

149. The Most Important Episode Ever 03.11.2020

In this episode we're on the eve of election night - what some have called "The Most Important Election Ever." Is America just following in the footsteps of Israel when they asked God for a king?

Also...Scott's points are THE MOST IMPORTANT EVER (*said as Donald Tru...

146. Demons, Donald & D-baggery 09.10.2020

From debate reactions to mourning pets that die right before recording to conversing about whether demons/satan are literally, figuratively or metaphorically real...we're not saying this episode has it all. We wouldn't say that. But some would. Also, actual bible is referenced and read on this episode which is shockingly rare for a podcast with "bible" in the title. Please enjoy. - Leave us a voic...
