Note: Simon is recording from a large, empty room with little furniture and a hardwood floor. Hence, the Voice of God effect.

This is a bonus episode created to use up our remaining time on Buzzsprout this month, so we don't waste any of our precious, precious dollars. We start by reviewing the podcast up to this point, and then we go further off the rails from there, ending with a discussion of the irredeemable nature of capitalism. Additionally, we read the Fox News comment section for far too long.

In this episode we discuss a movie that will make you wish that you were in hell - The Trump Prophecy (2018) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8235296/This leads us into a larger discussion of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), dominionism, and Christian nationalism in the USA. It is not a bucket of laughs.

The guys discuss Ken Ham (and Ken Bone), Young-Earth Creationism, the Creation Museum, and a rather large boat you might know in the middle of the Bluegrass State. **The Capitol protestor definitely, most assuredly did in fact tase his balls until he died.**https://creationmuseum.org/about/

Simon takes the wheel to discuss the topic that is at the forefront of everyone's mind, the election of Joe Biden. Hint, the Evangelicals aren't taking it well.

In this episode, Thomas gets a Pureflix subscription and the guys talk about the 2014 Christian blockbuster "God's Not Dead" ***We are still improving our audio situation. We have fixed part of the echo problem, but this will be completely taken care of by Episode 4

Thomas experiments with using a real microphone for recording the pod, while giving a general overview of the how the show will be structured in the future and reviewing what we have done so far. Listening to the mini-episodes will get you no closer to Heaven, but it will get you closer to our hearts.

In our second episode, we discuss Sean Feucht and the worship protest movement. We also talk about an impish pastor who soaked another passenger on his flight, and not with Holy Water. Additionally, The Bible Network receives an accolade for giving a more legitimate interview than Fox News.*For those unfamiliar with the Disney Channel Original Movie Brink! that is referred to in the episode - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0162212/ **We had an audio issue with an echo through the recording feed. We're updating our podcasting hardware to be better set up for Episode 3 and all future episodes.

Hello! Welcome to the Entertaining Angels podcast. We are going to be upfront and honest about the fact that we absolutely do not know what we are doing. However, after a few drinks a couple months ago we came up with an idea for this podcast (cliché I know). We hope that we can share our experience with Evangelical Christianity with you and have a few laughs along the way.This week we will be diving into one of the most prolific and well known Contemporary Christian music acts, Newsboys. If you have been involved with youth groups or other forms of Christian youth outreach then rest assured you have heard their work. Join us as we explore some of their most well known songs and offer some commentary about how it all fits into our current society.
