On today’s episode, we’re out in Charlie’s backyard to shoot the shit, talk about how the church responds to natural disasters, and play a rousing game of “Politician or Pastor?”.

Part two of the “podcast lock-in” mini-episodes, featuring another round of evangelical “Would You Rather?” questions and Dillon’s first villainous youth pastor.

In the first “podcast lock-in” episode, Bekah, Dillon, and Charlie catch up on stories from quarantine times and play a round of Evangelical “Would You Rather?”.

Happy Christian Holidays from YGSSG! Join the mandatory Christmas Eve candlelight service for a discussion about Santa, Christmas media (both good and bad), holiday traditions, and Patty Labelle. Try not to burn your fingers or get too existential.

Buckle up, baby. This week is going in DEEP to talk about the mess that is porn, sex, and sexuality in the church, how your hosts dealt with it growing up, and how they came out on the other side. Heh. Came.

Do you like it when the lyrics of Christian songs are read in dour tones? You’re in luck!
