    Musk. Ox. The internet is kind of a big deal. Ideas, concepts, beliefs, and civil (and uncivil) discourse is exchanged every day on it. It's hard to get through the day without being forced to use it. As luck would have it, in the past decade, memes have usurped most forms of internet-based communication; and, since arguing with people on the 'net is a profession as old as computers, Christians and athiests have been trading electronic blows all the while. This week, we take a look at some "Athiest Memes" and discuss the theology (or lack thereof) behind them. Join us as we discuss Freddy Krueger, the need for internet regulation, and more!

    This week, we discuss the back half of John 3, focusing in on the John with the least Biblical screen time: John the Baptist. Portrayed mainly as some religious psycho with odd dietary preferences, John 3 gives some much appreciated insight into the character of Christ's herald.

    Welcome to Cross Training! Apologies for the dip in audio quality in this episode. This week's (and next week's) episode was recorded on a single microphone in a dining hall at a Fall Creek Falls camp. Lots of ambient noise that, unfortunately, can't be edited out. We're back from church camp, and we have a couple of recorded-at-camp episodes to present! In this recording, we discuss a sermon that Adam Holloway preached early in the week. Adam Clagg joins the discussion as well to provide some insight.
