Is Christianity opposed to feminism? If you listen to many, the answer is a definitive yes. The church, they say, has suppressed women and women's rights for centuries, and it continues to be a force for misogyny in the world today. Women's rights and Christianity simply have not been allies.

Yet here to give us a fresh perspective on the true relationship of feminism and the faith is Dr. Sarah Williams.

Every Sunday, churches perform the same ritual. There's singing, some announcements, and a word from the preacher. And, undoubtedly, the same complaints reemerge. The sermon was too long, too boring, too unrelatable, etc.

With declining church attendance across the Western world, one has to wonder what the church can do. Are our sermons no longer touching the lives of the congregants? Is there something we can do to reshape how we see preaching and the spoken word? Here to guide us on his own journey into a new way of preaching is Dr. Mark Glanville: Old Testament scholar, preacher, podcaster, and jazz musician.

The book of Revelation has sparked no shortage of debate and intrigue. Who is the Beast/antichrist? What is the Mark of the Beast? Is the book an outline of events that are soon to take place?

But is it possible that we have gotten the book wrong entirely? Is the book not a roadmap of the future but something far more relevant to the here and now?

Here to help us decode this mysterious piece of literature is Dr. Shane J. Wood, whose new book, Thinning the Veil, attempts to pierce the interpretive haze that has surrounded Revelation for millennia.

According to Christian teaching, God is three persons... but there is only one God. How does that make any sense? It is easily one of the great mysteries of the faith, yet it is one Christians have still ceaselessly tried to solve. Is there a way to make sense of it? Or are we fated to never understand this central point of Christian teaching?

Here to give his radical take is our host Jonathan, whose book MonoThreeism attempts to, once and for all, end the conversation and say, yes, the Trinity is nonsense, but it is also... true? If you're as confused as I am, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

The world of quantum physics is a strange one, but it is becoming increasingly popular with the recent Marvel movies. In this episode, we explore the possible implications of quantum physics on spirituality. Specifically, we decided to shake things up a bit and have Allan Furic, a PhD candidate at the University of Edinburgh, speak to the strange alignment between the thought of quantum physicist David Bohm and certain aspects of Buddhism. It's as weird and wacky of an episode as you'll see from us!

In the first of its kind on our show, we have a (friendly) debate with Paul Williams, the host of Blogging Theology and prominent Muslim apologist. We argue whether the New Testament (particularly the earlier documents) can tell us whether or not Jesus saw Himself as divine.

Another US election, and everyone is back to arguing! But mixed in with these discussions are questions about Christianity and the role of the church in politics. Bishop Budde just made the news over her comments to President Trump. Vice President Vance has appealed to theordo amoris in his politics. It seems the question of church-state relations is more relevant than ever, but what is the right approach? How should Christians react to politics? Is it right to try and push Christian agendas? Or should we leave our faith out of the ballot box?

A lot has been going on in the news, but plenty of stories may have gone under your radar. On this second episode of In The News, we cover everything from the future of robotics, the TikTok ban, and whether or not alcohol is actually healthy for you (!).

All that and much more as we plow our way through the lesser-known headlines!
