The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A VeggieTales Movie
Pada abad ke-17, seorang bajak laut kejam bernama Robert the Terrible menyerang kapal milik Kerajaan Monterria dan menculik keponakannya sendiri, Pangeran Alexander yang masih remaja.

We All Need Someone to Hate
By Phil Vischer One group hates those who promote evil. The other hates those who promote hate. We all arrive at the same place – giving ourselves permission to hate those whom God loves. Jake and Elwood Blues, aka The Blues Brothers, sang about it. Freddie Mercury sang about it. Our need for "someone to love." A longing for connection. But it seems there is another human impulse: the impulse to hate. Our Christian heritage makes us uncomfortable admitting this out loud.
667: The Future of Faith in America with John Kasich
A slate of new articles analyzes Pope Francis through America’s progressive-conservative polarization, but are they confusing political categories with theological ones? Surprising data show that Gen Z is returning to religion, and belief in an afterlife is on the rise, but what's the explanation? Are young people returning to the church to rebel against their secular parents?
662: Why Nazi Comparisons Don't Help & Hosting Cultural Conversations and Lee C. Camp
It’s become popular to compare our current political moment with the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany in the 1930s, but what if the better comparison is Germany in the 1920s?
I've Read Basham's Book and I Have Some Thoughts
Christian “TwiXter” (I will not call it “X”) is abuzz lately with talk of a hot new book that just debuted on the New York Times bestseller list. It's Daily Wire reporter Megan Basham's book Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda. Why am I talking about this book? Well, for one, I’m in it.
Childless Sociopaths & Evangelical Outrage on Apple Podcasts
David French joins to discuss J.D. Vance's comments about "childless sociopaths," pro-natalist government policy, the Olympics's Last Supper-esque display, and Robert Downey Jr. returning to the MCU. Are anti-immigration policies actually even "preserving our culture?" And why are fundamentalists so eager to consider themselves persecuted? 0:00 - Theme Song 0:17 - Episode Starts 2:36 - J. D.
Heritage Americans & Palestinian Christians with Munther Isaac on Apple Podcasts
Following the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, some are saying that God saved his life for a divine purpose. Phil, Kaitlyn, and Skye discuss the selective use of Christian rhetoric surrounding the former President. Then, multiple speakers at the Republican convention used anti-immigrant language associated with the “heritage Americans” movement. We examine the movement and its link to the isolationist and racist policies of the 1920s. And Skye welcome Rev.
Ep. 72: Christian Nationalism from All Sides of the (Produce) Aisle
PODCAST February 16, 2024 52 min Joseph BackholmPhil Vischer There's never ever ever ever ever been a show like...this episode of Outstanding. On this podcast, most of our conversations and guests fall squarely on the conservative end of the Christian spectrum. But sometimes it's good to talk to tomatoes. While he's not quite a tomato himself, Phil Vischer has played one on TV.
Episode 168: Poor Things
Heritage Baptist Church exists by the grace of God and for the glory of God, which is the ultimate purpose of all our activities.

Iowa’s Satanic Panic & Finding Faith Amid Bad Religion with Todd Hunter on Apple Podcasts
The Satanic Temple has been allowed to erect a temporary display in the Iowa State Capitol, provoking some conservative evangelicals to double-down on their commitment to Christian Nationalism, and others to rethink the scope of religious liberty. Kaitlyn responds to an article accusing her, and other authors, of promoting a “loser mindset” among Christians. And are Phil and Skye conspiring with a God-hating Hollywood producer to destroy the church?
Understanding the Teen Mental Health Crisis with Lisa Damour on Apple Podcasts
Whether you're a parent, a youth pastor, a teacher or a young person yourself, you've probably seen all of the headlines concerning Gen Z. Rates of depression and loneliness are surging, their relationship with technology is kind of troubling, and they are leaving the church in droves. We've talked about these trends a lot on the Holy Post, but we're not alone. Tenx10 is a new collaborative discipleship initiative whose mission is to make faith matter more for this younger generation.
Almost Everything) with Skye Jethani on Apple Podcasts
Skye’s new book “What If Jesus Was Serious About Heaven?” Is here! Kaitlyn interviews him about the book, why popular Christian beliefs about heaven are so often unbiblical, and how heaven can become an idol that replaces Jesus as the center of our faith. Also this week: Reactions to the war that’s erupted in Israel. How will the End Times industry spin this unprecedented attack? Phil returns from Nashville with insights about why evangelicals are bad at comedy but good at anger.
The Overlooked Heroes of American Christianity with Jasmine Holmes on Apple Podcasts
For decades most Americans have said other people cannot be trusted. The exception was regular churchgoers who reported more faith in their neighbors, but new data says attending church no longer boosts social trust. What’s changed? Why are political conservatives suddenly talking much less about abortion and much more about transgender issues? Young earth creationists and Christian nationalists are flirting. What’s the attraction?
The Vegan Bible, Loveless Christianity, & Spiritual Narcissism with Rainn Wilson on Apple Podcasts
Ethicist, David Gushee, says we are seeing the emergence of a new kind of loveless Christianity. But those who practice it say their anger, culture warring, and pursuit of power are actually how they’re loving their neighbors. Then, Skye talks to actor Rainn Wilson, best known as Dwight Schrute from “The Office,” about religious pluralism, spiritual narcissism, why Hollywood misrepresents Christians, and how he became a follower of the Baha’i faith.
549 MLK, Black Voices & A New Book on Lent w/Esau McCaulley on Apple Podcasts
Phil catches up with friend-of-the-show Esau McCaulley (New Testament Professor, NYT columnist, author of CT Book of the Year Reading While Black) for a wide-ranging conversation. Why do we keep getting MLK wrong? What do Black voices give up in order to be invited into white spaces, and is there a better way? What does McCaulley do to refocus on Jesus? And why did he decide his new book should be about, of all things, Lent?? McCaulley is a deep thinker AND a little bit of a goofball.
The Mission of God on Apple Podcasts
For more than a century, the American church has been arguing about the exact scope and boundaries of God’s mission. Is the gospel narrowly about the redemption of people’s souls, or does it also care about redeeming the world, society, and broken systems? In other words, is justice part of God’s gospel mission? The way we answer that question has massive implications for what work we believe ultimately matters.
The War Over Christmas Movies & Gen Z’s Mental Health with Josh Packard on Apple Podcasts
The Hallmark Channel is now producing Christmas movies with LGBTQ characters and relationships leading the network’s former CEO to launch a new holiday movie channel with straight relationships only. The Holy Post crew discusses the role of representation in entertainment, and why a number of recent LGBTQ-centric movies have bombed at the box office.
Can We Still Trust the News? with Bonnie Kristian on Apple Podcasts
Research now shows that people who constantly consume the news are three times more likely to hold incorrect perspectives than those who only consume news occasionally. How did the news business shift from reporting to distorting? Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn discuss a new article that blames comedian Jon Stewart and The Daily Show for unintentionally transforming the media into a “subscription-based narrative production” business.
The Word of God on Apple Podcasts
The Bible is one of God’s most important gifts to his people. Through it we discover who he is and become equipped to follow him in the world. But rather than a source of unity, for many Christians the Bible is a point of conflict and division—especially when we fail to recognize the difference between the Bible and our cultural interpretation of the Bible.
The New Secular South & Celebrities for Jesus with Katelyn Beaty on Apple Podcasts
Evangelicals are no longer the largest religious group in the South. Russell Moore says they’ve been replaced by a dangerous new kind of southern secularism. These MAGA-vangelicals don’t attend church, don’t follow the moral teachings of the Bible, and are fixated on politics and conspiracy theories but still call themselves “Christians.” What role does the church have in mitigating the danger of this new sect?
Phil & Skye Answer Listener Voicemails on Apple Podcasts
What’s the correct definition of “woke”? What do Christians in the global south think about sexuality and gender? Biblically, when does life begin? When was America a Christian nation? In this special episode, Phil and Skye respond to voicemails left by Holy Post listeners. Some are serious and others are silly. Plus, additional thoughts about the conservative movement from Episode 519. And, Phil explains why he feels like a celebrity Norwegian walrus named Freya.
No More Roe? & the New Scandal of the Evangelical Mind with Mark Noll on Apple Podcasts
The leak of a draft ruling by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v Wade has the entire country talking.

Secular Sexual Ethics, Faith, & Autism with Daniel Bowman Jr. on Apple Podcasts
The conservative (and maybe Christian?) satire site Babylon Bee has had their Twitter account suspended for giving a trans woman their “Man of the Year” award. Babylon Bee says they’re being punished for speaking the truth, but are they just being mean? And an essay in the Washington Post by Christine Emba says our sexual ethic of consent alone isn’t working. Has she uncovered evidence that our secular culture is more receptive to Christian sexual ethics than we thought?
The End of Racial Reconciliation & Rescuing Evangelicalism with David Brooks on Apple Podcasts
Some Southern Baptists say if Voddie Baucham becomes the next president of the SBC it will be a step toward racial reconciliation. When Phil disagreed in a tweet last weekend, it triggered a social media tsunami. He responds to the controversy. Then, the Holy Post crew discusses Jemar Tisby’s recent article about how the murder of Trayvon Martin ten years ago ended white evangelicalism’s efforts at racial reconciliation. But was the movement flawed from its beginning in the 1990s?
The Embrace of Tyrants & the Despair of Pastors on Apple Podcasts
1 hr 33 min A scary number of Americans now say violence may be necessary to fix the country. A new report looks at what combination of beliefs cause a person to endorse political violence, and why it’s more common on the right. Then, in response to last week’s interview, Phil unpacks how our modern belief in human goodness explains the rise in authoritarianism and populism. And, why are U.S. Christians supporting the “Freedom Convoy” in Canada?
Fundy Fashion & Native American Christianity with Matthew Milliner on Apple Podcasts
1 hr 31 min A new study finds evangelicals see most thing in society in categories of good and evil while nonbelievers see more nuance. Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn discuss the implications. Bob Jones University has a fashion design department. What could possibly go wrong? Pretty much everything when a student discovered his androgynous Jesus coat was a fundamentalist fashion faux pas.
How Trump Stole Christmas & Paul and Gender with Cynthia Long Westfall on Apple Podcasts
1 hr 25 min Last Sunday, the former president attended an advent service at First Baptist Church in Dallas. Some have called what unfolded an example of evangelicalism’s syncretism with conservative politics. Why aren’t more people bothered by it? Then, Don Jr. said if Christians want to take back America they need to ignore Jesus’ commands like “Turn the other cheek.” Kaitlyn says he’s right.
The Gospel and Fake News with Love Thy Neighborhood on Apple Podcasts
46 min A recent survey found that 49 percent of pastors reported conspiracy theories were spreading within their congregations. This is especially prevalent within evangelical communities.
The Holy Post: French Friday
52 min French Friday leaves the world of politics and theology behind to join David French and fellow nerd Skye Jethani for a journey through the pop-culture countryside of geekdom in a special episode. They begin with a breakdown of Dune, the film adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic sci-fi novel. Was it too faithful to the book? The dorky duo then debate why the Disney-era Star Wars sequel trilogy was a failure, but The Mandalorian series works brilliantly.
Truth, Lies, and Spiritual Imagination with John Mark Comer on Apple Podcasts
1 hr 30 min Why do we expect the Christian life to be easy when the Bible clearly says it will be a struggle? Starting with the wrong expectation, says John Mark Comer, makes us spiritually neurotic and causes more suffering than necessary. He talks with Skye about his new book, “Live No Lies,” why spiritual warfare isn’t what you’ve been taught, why information alone doesn’t change us, and what it means to really be people committed to the truth.
Rethinking the Lord's Prayer with Derwin Gray on Apple Podcasts
1 hr 22 min Friend of the show Derwin Gray has a new book! When did he have time to write it? We don’t know! But he also found time to sit down with Skye and talk about it. Derwin says the Lord’s Prayer isn’t just a prayer, but an entire catechism of faith, a lesson in communing with God, and a call for the people of God to engage in issues of justice. He unpacks it all with Skye. And did scientists find the biblical city of Sodom? Have psychologists found the number one predictor of atheism?
Suffering & Grace with Philip Yancey on Apple Podcasts
1 hr 32 min Philip Yancey is one of the best-selling contemporary Christian authors, and his books helped millions find a more authentic faith long before “deconstruction” was a hashtag. His new memoir, “Where the Light Fell,” tells how he escaped the racist, fundamentalist Christianity of his youth, and his lifelong quest to find God’s grace in a world of suffering. Yancey also sympathizes with the ex-vangelical movement, and shares his concerns for the direction of the faith in America.

“Reparations,” the Review & the Response with Gregory Thompson on Apple Podcasts
1 hr 31 min Earlier this year, Gregory Thompson and Duke Kwon released their book “Reparations: A Christian Call for Repentance and Repair,” in which they make a biblical argument for the American church’s responsibility to repay the debts inflicted upon black communities by systemic racism and white supremacy. In this moment of political division and evangelical panic over Critical Race Theory, it’s not surprising that responses to the book have been polarized.

Remembering Tulsa and Rethinking Prayer on Apple Podcasts
1 hr 33 min It’s been 100 years since the Tulsa Massacre—a dark moment in American history most Americans know nothing about. Which makes Phil, Skye, and Christian wonder, what else don’t we know?

Episode 455: Is Your Church Toxic or Tov? with Scot McKnight Rene Padilla died last week at 88, and you’re probably thinking “Who’s Rene Padilla?” Phil, Skye, and Christian discuss the huge influence he had on the global church and its mission, and why so many American Christians still feel a divide between saving souls and reforming society.
Why We’re Divided & Positive Pluralism with Bob Roberts on Apple Podcasts
1 hr 22 min It’s increasingly difficult to have conversations with other Christians. Our families and congregations can’t seem to agree even about basic facts, let alone the news or how we ought to respond to what’s happening. So, we avoid talking about anything that might be controversial—which is pretty much everything today. What happened? How did we become so divided?
Critical Theory & the Christian with David Fitch on Apple Podcasts
1 hr 20 min Conservatives have recently found a new boogeyman—Critical Theory. Even Mr. Trump has issued an executive order declaring Critical Theory to be “anti-American,” and last week the presidents of six Southern Baptist seminaries said critical theory is incompatible with Christianity. Their statement, however, never defined what Critical Theory is nor what makes it unchristian.
Halftime Hullabaloo & Drew Dyck’s Picks on Apple Podcasts
1 hr 12 min The Super Bowl halftime show featuring Jennifer Lopez and Shakira has some Christians upset.

He offers his take about the Trinity, secularism, and a controversial Netflix series about a modern-day messiah. 1 hr 12 min Top Podcasts In Christianity See All
The Christian Post & Team Trump w/ Napp Nazworth on Apple Podcasts
1 hr 10 min On December 23, the politics editor at The Christian Post, Napp Nazworth, abruptly announced his resignation after 8 years with CP. The online news site decided to publish an editorial throwing its full support behind Donald Trump, and Nazworth wasn’t on board. He shares about the transformation he observed as evangelical leaders went from opposing Trump, to reluctantly supporting him, to absolute loyalty, and what it means for the future of Christian journalism.
What Happened to Big Idea? (Part 1)
Many people think Big Idea Productions died because of the lawsuit brought against it by Lyrick Studios over general market distribution rights to VeggieTales home videos. While it is fair to say that it was the loss of that lawsuit that forced Big Idea into bankruptcy, it certainly wasn’t the only factor causing Big Idea’s downfall. Others believe the money spent producing and marketing our first movie, Jonah, brought the company down.
How Race Became Religion with Willie James Jennings on Apple Podcasts
1 hr 6 min Did God create the different races and intend them to be separate, or is race a social and cultural invention? Theologian Willie James Jennings joins Skye for a mind-stretching conversation about the role of race in our faith, how “whiteness” has influenced Christianity, why a proper vision of Jesus’ incarnation challenges many of our assumptions, and the racial Cold War occurring in our country.
The Case for Apologetics with Lee Strobel on Apple Podcasts
It’s been over 20 years since Lee Strobel wrote his best-selling book “The Case for Christ.” He talks with Skye about the changing role of apologetics in our post-Christian culture. It’s no longer just intellectual barriers that keep people from faith, says Strobel, but emotional barriers. Today, Christian credibility depends more on our love than our arguments. Also this week: Scientists discover squirrels eavesdrop on birds.
