This week we’re discussing the strange, unsettling influx of internet prophets. They seem to be everywhere, right now, and it’s hard to imagine anyone taking these people seriously. They certainly do, though! Plus, we talk about goat-eyed Ed Sheeran caving to Robert “Rub’n’Tug” Kraft and his clown car of billionaire douchebags over Macklemore’s pro-Palestinian/anti-child murder statement. We went a little long, but we hope you enjoy it!

Ep. 287 – The Grift of Prophecy: From the Mundane to the Insane

This week we’re joined by Josh Carley, writer and director of the upcoming indy horror/pulp crime film, Sin On A Sunday! Here’s the synopsis:

“Louisiana pastor Ron Hill has the God-given ability to heal the sick and the lame - or does he? When a woman shows up at Ron's church looking for guidance, he's forced to face the reality of who he really is.”

Josh and his team are in the process of crowdfunding this movie, and they could use your help bringing it to life. Go to www.sinonasunday.com [http://www.sinonasunday.com/] for more information and a link to their Kickstarter campaign!

Ep. 286 – Sin On A Sunday w/ Filmmaker Josh Carley

This week we’re checking in on a few of the old school Christian bands from our youth! It seems like the Christian rock industry is in turmoil, and there are a few lawsuits in process right now as they feud with fans, tour partners, and management. Then we’re taking a look at an unusual youtube ministry I stumbled across called The Webbed Witnesser. It sure is refreshing to finally see someone making “logical” arguments on behalf of the Church… Enjoy the show!

Ep. 285 – Skillet, Demon Hunter, and MerceMe: The Contentious Settlement Tour

This week we’re examining Whitehouse wetnurse Natalie Harp’s “dear Don” letters, which may be the last vestiges of New World romantic literature. Then we’re sliding over to r/christiandating, where a young 20-something man has managed to crack the code on Christian dating, and let me tell you, he’s not interested in your worldly opinions on it.

Ep. 284 – 238lbs (245lbs w/ a Full Diaper) & Evangelical Elliot Roger

This week we’re joined by our buddy Jesse to discuss the accusations surrounding Psuedo-Messiah Geordavie, “Apostle” Katherine Krick, and hype house-disguised-as-a-church, 5F! Shockingly, a guy who rolls into church in a limousine wearing a crown with followers who drop to the floor when he touches them seems to have used his influence to sexually harass women. Crazy! Anyways, we hope you enjoy the show!

Ep. 283 – Apostle GeorDavie Can Sense That You Are Hard in the Spirit

This week we’re joined once again by our friend, comedian and actor Mike Valdes! Topics of discussion include a freaky couple kicked off a flight for sharing a drink, a wife from Reddit that’s laying down the law on barbaric practice of “spousal discipline,” and the worst pastor in America, Steven Anderson, who is under fire (and hopefully soon to die in prison) for he and his wife’s despicable treatment of their children. Mike has sooo many cool things happening right now, a lot of which he’ll be announcing soon. Follow him on Instagram(@mikevaldes) to stay up to date on his appearances and shows!

Ep. 282 – Garlic Knot Ouroboros & the Crimes of Steve Anderson w/ Mike Valdes

This week we discuss the series of unfortunate events that has befallen tent revivalist and modern day Van Helsing Greg Locke, a woman led by the Spirit to preach her way onto the No Fly List, and we weigh in on a Reddit debate for the ages: are adult toys the equivalent of the puzzle box from Hellraiser? Enjoy the show!

Ep. 281 – The Raid: Greg Locke’d and Loaded

This week we’re hanging out with our buddy, comedian Spencer Bland! We discuss Spencer’s recent travels across the fruited plains of God’s favorite country, a husband’s bizarre use of modern technology, and how Taylor Sheridan is boomers’ favorite set of jingling keys. We had a blast hanging out with Spencer, and you can too at one of his upcoming comedy shows:

July 24 – Santa Monica, CA

July 25 – Mission Viejo, CA

July 31 – Yorba Linda, CA

Go to www.godsfavoritecomedian.com [http://www.godsfavoritecomedian.com/] for tickets and additional info, and follow Spencer on Instagram and TikTok (@spencerspicy)!

Ep. 280 – STRAIGHT PRIDE MONTH w/ Spencer Bland

This week we’re discussing the disappointing downfall of the Graham Platner, the death of a real life nephew of Uncle Sam, Lindsey Graham, a controversial cleft between prospective parents and a surrogate mother in Canada, and finally, some r/christianmarriage drama revolving around their lust management systems. Hope you enjoy the show!

Ep. 279 – An Unpalatable Case of Prenatal Buyer’s Remorse

This week we’re welcoming back our good friend and artist Jillian! We get some Reddit takes as to why 40-something Christian men so often list that they are in search of women 20-35 years old (big brain stuff), the toughest parts of getting older and attempting to control your negative impulses, making friends as an adult, and finally, longtime internet laughing stock and recent Christian bandwagoner, Andy Elliott. Andy has a passion for sales training, a disdain for fat people, and a propensity to break the law when it suits him. He really missed his calling to be a megachurch pastor! Jillian is the best, and you should follow her art page on Instagram @art_x_witch!

Ep. 278 – Andy Elliott: I Am a Sales Warrior for Christ! w/ Jillian
