Join Kevin, Jared, and Scott as we explore theology through the lens of a galaxy far far away. Hopefully this can be of help to you in your journey of faith or at the very least can enhance your appreciation for the galaxy we all know and love. This podcast is explicitly Christian, however George Lucas was influenced by eastern religion and we’re going to explore some of those themes as well. We want to be able to discuss other religions without being pejorative or diminutive. We hope they all can find value in our podcast even if you don’t claim the Christian faith.
Jared Mayes, Kevin Burr, and Scott Howland

"Luke, you will find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view." Join us as we dissect Obi-Wan's infamous line delivered while seated on a log (he's a ghost, mind you), debating the nature of truth itself.
