This week Kaitlyn is joined by pastor Clayton Keenon to answer a mind-bending question: was God bored before he made us? What was he doing before creation, and why did he create anything at all? Plus, Clayton shows us how understanding God's character and nature allows us to more freely respond to his freely given love.   0:00 - Theme Song   3:00 - Was God Bored Before Creation?   8:30 - Why Did God Make anything?   11:27 - Sponsor - Hiya Health - Go to https://www.hiyahealth.com/CURIOUSLY to receive 50% off your first order   13:15 - Sponsor - Brooklyn Bedding - Sleep better now with Brooklyn Bedding's Aurora Luxe Cooling Bed.

This week on End Credits things get freaky... er. Not really. Things are plenty freaky without this week's new movie, which just so happens to be called Freaky Tales. This one features an actor so big that he now has a whole summer of movies dedicated to him, but like many actors he had humble beginnings on a massive HBO show about dragons. Let's dig in! This Wednesday, May 14, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Game of Roles. This week's movie stars Pedro Pascal, and it officially kicks off what we're called "Pedro Summer"! Pascal's been a working actor for years, but he got his big break o Game of Thrones, and like a lot of members of that massive cast he was able to parlay that success into bigger roles in bigger projects. To kick off this week's show, we will talk about some of the actors that won the Game for Hollywood success! REVIEW: Freaky Tales (2025). May 10, 1987. The Golden State Warriors are in a playoff game against the L.A. Lakers, and all-star "Sleepy" Floyd has the best game any NBA player has ever had. These are things that actually happened, and they are among the many events that unfold in Freaky Tales, an action comedy anthology set in Oakland, from Oakland-born filmmakers Anne Boden and Ryan Fleck. The movie blends fact and fiction, fantasy and reality, but this week we'll answer the question: Is Freaky Tales good or is it bad? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

We have a pope and he's American! Cardinal Robert Prevost from Chicago is now Pope Leo XIV, and his connection to The Holy Post is closer than anyone imagined. Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn discuss reactions to the new Pope and the significance of his name. Katelyn Beaty is back to discuss the evolution of the Q Conference, led by Gabe and Rebekah Lyons. Why has an event that started almost 20 years ago with a positive vision of Christian cultural engagement for the common good now shifted to embrace the culture war? And what does it reveal about larger changes within American evangelicalism? Also this week—The Trump administration is accepting refugees into the U.S. again (as long as they are white), the Quakers are on the move, caterpillar flair, and baby girl Bible names.

We have a weird situation: We've elected two new governments at both upper levels in the last four months and the hope is that they can turn things around, and yet, these are also, essentially, the old governments. How can we possibly expect better results from the new old people in charge, and are we even more alone than ever here on the local level? We'll put this to one of the people whose job it is to advocate. This week, the Ontario government announced something novel: changing municipal planning rules and fees to make the construction of housing faster. Despite the numerous regulations rolled back and the growing amount of money deferred from municipal coffers, Ontario is at the bottom in Canada in terms of housing starts. As for the federal government, well, it remains to be seen what exactly Mark Carney can deliver over and above his predecessor. One of the groups designed to help co-ordinate the needs of fighting poverty locally is the Guelph & Wellington Task Force for Poverty Elimination, whose goal is to work collaboratively, and informed by diverse voices of experience, to take local action and advocate for system and policy change to address the root causes of poverty. It's a worthy mission, but one that's getting harder to accomplish as community frustrations about higher costs and limited options. So, can we still fulfill the project of eliminating poverty? Dominica McPherson, who is the director of the Task Force for will talk about the current state of advocacy with all three levels of government and whether or not things have gotten better or worse on the poverty file in the last few years. She will also talk about why the focus needs to be on permanent housing solutions, how Guelph and Wellington have actually done well on developing those options and how we can keep that momentum going forward. Also, what are the efforts the task force is undertaking right now? So let's stay on mission with this week's edition of the Guelph Politicast! You can learn more about the Guelph & Wellington Task Force for Poverty Elimination and get involved at their website. After recording this interview I did get an update that the Wellington-Guelph Health and Housing Community Planning Table will be releasing a report about the work that's been done since the Health and Housing Symposium next month, so stay tuned for more information sometime mid-June The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean.

This week on End Credits, we finally embrace summer!.. movie season. We're struggling to get summer-like weather outdoors, but conditions are hot in the movie theatre now that Summer Movie Season is officially here and it starts with the movie we're reviewing this week, Thunderbolts*. What else is coming? We're going to talk about that too! This Wednesday, May 7, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Summer Movie Preview Part 2. Obviously, we did a sequel. There were so many unanswered questions from last week's first part of the Summer Movie Preview like what's coming out in July and August? So this week, we will pick up where we left off by talking about the rest of the summer movie slate including more superheroes, some romance, some dinosaurs, and at least one instance where a serious actor tries slapstick! REVIEW: Thunderbolts* (2025). The Marvel Cinematic Universe. Have you heard of it? It's seen better days, and you can call it over saturation or call it a creative lull, but what the MCU really needs right now is a winner. So here come the losers! Thunderbolts* follows a group of black ops agents - the ones who exist between heroism and villainy - and asks the question, why not us? Led by indie darlings Florence Pugh and Sebastian Stan, can the Thunderbolts stage the superhero comeback the industry needs right now? We'll see. End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

The recent federal election was the formal turning of the page from the premiership of Justin Trudeau to the one led by Mark Carney. For long-time political observers, the difference between the two men in both style and substance is stark, but there's no doubt that the change in leadership in March is at least half the reason the Liberals got a near majority last week. And yet, the question remains: What happened to Trudeau-mania? The date was February 7, 2013. The location was the Brass Taps, the pub on the second floor of the University Centre at the University of Guelph. Packing them in that day was Justin Trudeau, then a candidate for federal Liberal leadership. At this point, the Liberals were in the political wilderness, but there was a new kid on the block who had different ideas. The pundits didn't really take Justin Trudeau seriously, but the young people in the Brass Taps that day did. They really, really did. How did the excitement about Justin Trudeau and his “Sunny Ways” sour so completely that his mere removal from the ballot made the party he revived competitive again? Was it the right-wing smear job? Was it the rise of Trumpism and anti-woke sentiment? Was it the lingering social and economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic? It could be all three and it could be none of it, but it's one of the great questions of this political era, and this episode of the podcast. To answer it, we're joined by Mustafa Zuberi, who was, for a time, the president of the Young Liberals at the U of G and served as the Liberal candidate for Guelph in the recent provincial election. Zuberi was one of the thousands of young people drawn to politics by Trudeau and his idealism, so he will help us understand how he inspired so many young people, why that youthful energy started to move to the right in recent years, and how Trudeau might have been more of a victim of circumstance than ability. So let's talk about the rise and fall of Justin Trudeau on this week's Guelph Politicast! You can follow Mustafa Zuberi on Instagram. You can check out the coverage from Justin Trudeau's stop at the Brass Taps in 2013 on the original Guelph Politico Blogspot. And obviously, we will be keeping up with the latest developments from the new Canadian Prime Minister every Thursday at 5 pm on Open Sources Guelph on CFRU 93.3 fm or cfru.ca The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean.

This week on End Credits, things get spooky! That's a weird thing to say when summer is almost here, but in today's episode we'll confirm that Summer Movie Season is definitely here, and we will talk about what you can expect in some of the weeks to come. After that, we get into the spooky stuff with a ghost story from someone we recently talked about on this show. This Wednesday, April 30, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Summer Movie Preview Part 1. This is the last show for April, on the last day of April, and you know what that means... It's Summer Movie Season! This requires a preview, and in our endless quest for completism, we will keep doing this until we get through all the movies that are coming out this summer starting with what's being released between now and the first week of June including good guys, bad guys and something weird. Presence (2025). We've already done one Steven Soderbergh movie this year, Black Bag, but did you know that two Soderbergh movies have been released - so far - this year? The other one is now available on VOD, and it's called Presence. It's a ghost story, but it's from the ghost's point of view, watching the strange dynamics of this family that moved into a new house and struggle with all their internal drama including Chloe, the one member who senses... The Presence. We will talk about why you shouldn't ghost on Presence. End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

By the time you're listening to this you know how it all turned out: Carney's the PM, a plurality of voters went Conservative though not enough in Carleton to send the leader back to the House. The NDP are decimated, the Greens are down to one seat again, and the Bloc have called a truce in the name of "national unity"(?). What an election! Let's live through it all again!! From 8 pm to midnight on Election Night, the tag team of me and Scotty Hertz, plus CFRU programming director (and renowned Wikipedia editor) Christopher Currie, were live to air covering the results as they came into the CFRU newsroom... through the CBC's live vote tracker page. The focus was local, with coverage of the two Guelph ridings, but our view was nation-wide from coast to coast to coast. And there were some special guests as well! Over the course of the night we heard from Emily Blake, the associate editor of Cabin Radio, a Local Journalism Initiative reporting on the Dehcho region and the Northwest Territories' housing crisis that's funded in part by the Government of Canada. We also heard from Kim Siever from The Alberta Worker, an independent media outlet that focuses on labour and politics founded in April 2020. So let's relive the 2025 Canadian Election on this week's Guelph Politicast! Keep tuning in to Open Sources Guelph Thursdays at 5 pm on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca!

This week on End Credits, in keeping with the theme immediately following the Easter weekend, we will talk about people coming back from the dead. Creatures of the night aren't the only ones making beautiful music in Sinners, which features a potent combination of leading man and filmmaker, and that's making us think of other great movie duets, so to speak. This Wednesday, April 23, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Teams. This week's movie features once of the most potent modern film teams of a great actor and a great director: Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler. In film history, there have been all kinds of actor and director teams who did great things together not just once, not just twice, but three times or more. To begin this week, we will talk about some of the greatest who ever did it, and how they did it together! REVIEW: Sinners (2025). Ryan Coogler's fifth movie is his first wholly original work, the story of two bootlegging brothers who come home to Mississippi to go into business for themselves only to find a bigger monster than the KKK. To play his hero, Coogler has relied on the man who's been featured in each of his movies so far, Michael B. Jordon, and he has to bring his considerable charm to this genre bending movie that's equal part horror, musical, thriller, crime drama and racial reckoning. Can a movie this bold possibly live up the hype? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

Pope Francis died on Monday. Will the Catholic Church continue to move in the direction of inclusion and reform, or will it elect a more traditional leader in reaction to the last papacy? Mike Cosper is back to talk about his new podcast from Christianity Today about the Satanic Panic, “Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.” In the 1980s and 90s, the FBI investigated 11,000 reports of satanic ritual abuse, but did not uncover a single credible story. So, why were parents throughout the country worried that heavy metal music, board games, and the Smurfs would lead their kids into devil-worshipping cults? Cosper explains how hucksters leveraged fears over cultural change to create mass hysteria, and why lessons from the Satanic Panic are still relevant today. Also this week, Medieval art reveals the sounds and smells of hell.   Holy Post Plus: Bonus Interview with Mike Cosper: https://www.patreon.com/posts/127227607/   Ad-Free Version of this Episode: https://www.patreon.com/posts/127232165/ 0:00 - Show Starts   3:50 - Theme Song   4:12 - Sponsor - Our Place - Go to https://www.fromourplace.com and use code HOLYPOST to get 10% off site wide on beautiful cookware!   5:22 - Sponsor - Rocket Money - Find and cancel your old subscriptions with Rocket Money at https://www.rocketmoney.com/HOLYPOST   12:12 - News of the Butt, Medieval Art Edition   18:46 - Bosch Painting Translated into Music   24:24 - The Legacy of the Pope   32:35 - America vs. The Pope   41:42 - Sponsor - BetterHelp - This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

If you listen to this show promptly on Wednesday then it's just five more sleeps till Election Day! About a quarter of us have been so excited that we just couldn't wait to vote; 7.3 million Canadians made voting part of their Easter weekend festivities, a new record. What's been driving all this excitement? What about the party platforms? The manoeuvres of the national party leaders? And what the hell happened at those post-debate scrums? Once you might have been right saying that the electorate was eager to replace an old and tired regime under Justin Trudeau for the slick sloganeering of Pierre Poilievre, but as he usually does, Trump changed everything. Not content to make himself the main character of American politics, the U.S. President's large shadow has been cast over the 45th Canadian general election, and that means it could be Mark Carney's game even more than Poilievre. But this is the Guelph Politicast, so let's talk about Guelph, which is a riding, but not the only riding with Guelph in it. Guelph is now carried over two ridings: Guelph and Wellington-Halton Hills North. That means when the election is over, about 20,000 Guelphites will have an entirely different MP from the rest of the city, and if the polls are to be believed, they will each be represented by two different parties. Perhaps the post-election period is going to be even more interesting than this whole election... But that's a conversation for a later day. This conversation is with Open Sources Guelph co-host Scotty Hertz, back by popular demand, to talk all about the election. We'll discuss the added level of difficulty of covering two local races, the impact of splitting Guelph between two ridings, and the considerations being made by local voters. We will also talk about how people seem to be embracing stability, the politics of independent media, and why you shouldn't move your stuff using a Cyber Truck(?).  So let's talk about the Canadian election campaign in 45 minutes or less on this week's Guelph Politicast! You can tune into election night coverage on CFRU 93.3 fm or cfru.ca on Monday starting at 8 pm, and if you're interested in hearing interviews with the candidates running in Guelph and Wellington-Halton Hills North, tune in on Thursdays on CFRU or download OSG on Monday on this feed. You can also watch the interviews on Open Sources new YouTube channel. I will also be appearing at this week's Breezy Breakfast at DeBar to talk more about the election, assuming that you haven't had enough already The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean.

This week on End Credits, we're on our phones. No, we're not being rude and using our phones in the movie theatre - we're not savages! - but this week's movie is about what happens when bad guys spend too much time on *your* phone. Don't meme yourself because we're checking out Drop and in that spirit, we're going to talk about other times tech has gone wrong!  This Wednesday, April 9, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Tech Gone Bad. This week's movie features a premise where a smart phone is used to taunt a woman into doing something sinister. Technology can be used to do great things, but it can also be used to do some very bad things and in honour of the release of Drop we will drop other titles where technology leads to some very bad outcomes for both people and the world at large, and we're not just talking about horror movies or Terminators! REVIEW: Drop (2025). First dates are hard enough, but imagine being a widow on your first date after your husband's untimely (and unnatural) death and your phone starts going off with threats from an anonymous person: Kill your date or your little boy and your sister die! Christopher Landon, the filmmaker behind Happy Death Day and Freaky, puts White Lotus season two star Meghann Fahy through her paces in modern take on a classically Hitchcock affair, but can Drop get the drop on two cynical movie reviewers? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

We're at the end of another school year, and while some students are looking forward to summer, they're also looking forward to next fall. Or perhaps even stressing over it. Housing is a big issue in Guelph, and it's somehow even bigger when it comes to student housing. Last summer, the largest first-year student enrolment ever weighed on students and the greater Guelph community, but relief may be coming if city council doesn't get in the way(?). So what, city council doesn't want student housing in Guelph? Let's just say it's complicated. This is about phase two of the Alma, which is on the site of the former Holiday Inn at Stone and Scottsdale. The renovation of the old hotel was phase one, and phase two will add another nearly 600 beds, but there's a snag and it's whether or not Forum Asset Management has to pay over $15 million in development fees. The Ontario government has made student residences exempt from DCs, but there's some question about how you define “student residences”; does that apply only to student residences owned and operated by a post-secondary institution itself, or can it also apply to a private for-profit development like The Alma that just so happens to be on land owned by a university? This will be a question that council will have to answer on April 29, and this week, we will hear about the stakes. Owen Ellis, who is the president of the Real Estate Students Association at the University of Guelph, is the guest this week to talk about the current state of student housing in the city, and what options that students would like to see when they're looking for a place to live in the Guelph. We also talk about the expectations and responsibilities for the University of Guelph, private developers, and why we all need to organize to do better for student renters. So let's dig into another great housing debate on this week's Guelph Politicast! You can check out the website for the app he's working on here. City council will look at the appeal of the development charges for phase two of the Alma on Tuesday April 29, and that agenda will be published on the City's website this Thursday.

As we approach Good Friday, New Testament scholar Dr. Joshua Jipp joins Kaitlyn to answer a crucial question. Why do we call Good Friday good? Dr. Jipp brings us to a variety of places in the Bible that describe the goodness of the crucifixion, describes how we might approach a Good Friday service with our families, and reminds us of a central truth that should guide all our questions: God is love.   1:35 - Theme Song   2:12 - Why do we call Good Friday good?   8:30 - Why the Resurrection was so surprising   11:15 - Sponsor - Blueland - For 15% off first order of Blueland cleaning products, go to this link: https://www.blueland.com/CURIOUSLY   14:00 - Why celebrate Good Friday?   20:30 - Don't skip right to Easter   24:55 - Because of love   28:55 - End Credits

This week on End Credits, we're on stakeout. We're going to go back in time and ride shotgun with FBI agent Jude Law as he takes down the bad guys in the new movie The Order, which might be classified as a political thriller. Say... That would be an interesting topic to tackle at the beginning of this show, so let's do that!  This Wednesday, April 9, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Things Get Political. What makes a political thriller? Well, it's got to have, at least, some action, there has to be some mystery component, and it was to have a politically-motivated plot or characters. Sometimes there based on actual events, sometimes they're just inspired or are else completely made-up, but they otherwise forego the usual boring lawmaking of politics for something more deadly. We'll talk about some prime examples. REVIEW: The Order (2025). You may have heard about David Koresh or Timothy McVeigh, but what about Bob Matthews? In the 1980s, he started a terrorist group of White Supremacists who had a specific mission in mind: Bring the racist dystopia novel The Turner Diaries to life! The story of Matthews, and the FBI-led effort to stop him, are now dramatised in The Order featuring two British guys - Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult - in a deadly face-off that still has political resonance, but how does the movie itself resonate? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

These are busy days at Politico HQ. There's a federal election on right now, and Guelph has become so big that it's spread over two ridings with so far a dozen candidates vying to be the next Members of Parliament. If one candidate in particular is successful then that means there will be a vacancy on Guelph city council. What happens then? In the rare event that the City of Guelph has to fill a vacant council seat in the middle of a council term, for whatever the reason, the City Council Vacancy Policy goes into effect. It sets out the options for what the mayor and council should do if the there's an empty seat at the council table, or what a council should do if they suddenly find themselves without a mayor. This week's episode of the podcast is dedicated to a reading of the City Council Vacancy Policy. Consider it an educational experience, and what can be more essential as we battle misinformation and look to resolve long-running blind spots in our civic awareness because while we love to complain about government many of us don't really know how it works. With this entry of the pod, we will start to aim to change that.   So let's dig into policy (for a change) on this week's Guelph Politicast! You can read the City Council Vacancy Policy here, and you can check out the list of other City of Guelph policies here. Remember: If you're interested in hearing interviews with the candidates running in Guelph and Wellington-Halton Hills North (which includes parts of Guelph), tune in on Thursdays on CFRU 93.3 fm or cfru.ca, or download OSG on Monday on this feed.

This week on End Credits, we're hitting the high notes! We know that this show is not necessarily high brow, but this week we're going to the opera with the new Atom Egoyan film Seven Veils. Along with that, we're going to look at the film's star, who's enjoyed a successful and varied career, and talk about all the times she's made an impression.  This Wednesday, April 2, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Mandy! This week's movie stars Amanda Seyfried, who is an actress that's been around for nearly 20 years now after her first big screen appearance as one of the titular Mean Girls. Since then she's done drama, she's done action, she's done scary, and she even got an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress, but before digging into her new role in Seven Veils, we're going to talk the best of Amanda Seyfried. Seven Veils (2025). In Atom Egoyan's latest movie, a theatre director is called back to the opera company where she go her start at the request of her former mentor and lover, it was his final wish that she stage a revival of the opera Salome. Egoyan revisits some of his old themes about unhappy families and sexual power, but it's also done through a #MeToo lens and against the background of Egoyan's own production of Salome at the Canadian Opera Company. So there's a lot going on, and we will try and sort it all out! End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

These are some heady political times. We've already made it through one election this year, and we're now in the midst of another. As we're going to air, the consumer carbon tax is gone, the major parties are duelling to see who can be the most moderate, and it appears that things like environmental stewardship and compassion are just not affordable. Maybe it's time to re-calibrate. Let's talk about the last few weeks at city council for a moment. This week's Committee of the Whole meeting tackled the new Private Tree Bylaw and the potential use of the Drill Hall as an art and cultural centre, which the staff report made it clear that these are things we can't fully afford now. And last week, the Public Space Use Bylaw was amended so there's definitely message emanating from inside the halls of city hall: We're now in a time of austerity. It's a dirty word that activists don't like hearing, especially if they're on the progressive side. Not wanting to get lost in the mishegoss of the federal election happening right now, we're going to re-calibrate and focus on city hall stuff, and regular council observer and a semi-regular council delegate Morgan Dandie is going to help us with that. She's often been a fly in the ointment at city council on all kinds of issues, so how is she feeling about the current political moment as a council observer? Morgan Dandie will answer that and other questions as she talks about the state of city council, the state of Mayor Guthrie's perceived relationship with the other members of council, and how “Gotcha moments” are in the eye of the beholder. She will also talk about whether or not she thinks her delegations have an impact, being open to learning new things, her own successful efforts to improve herself as a speaker and a politician, and what keeps her hopeful as an activist.  So let's get into some Guelph Politi-Chat on this week's Guelph Politicast! You can follow Morgan Dandie on Instagram. You can see what she said at Committee of the Whole yesterday and get other information about what's coming up at city council meetings on the City of Guelph's website.

Since WWII, the United States has been actively engaged in foreign aid as part of its strategic foreign policy, and Christians of all theological and political views have broadly supported this effort. In the first month of the Trump administration, however, Christians on the far right have suddenly turned against international aid. What's behind this change and are there parallels on the religious left? And what does it mean when MAGA Catholics are arguing directly with Pope Francis about immigrants, refugees, and the poor? Author and journalist, Katherine Stewart, has investigated the religious nationalist movement for 15 years. She says there's a major disconnect between the super-rich funding the movement (many aren't even Christians), and the average white evangelicals caught up in its conspiracy theories and events. She talks with Skye about her new book, “Money, Lies, and God.” Also this week—Phil looks at larvae and sees the face of God.   World Relief Advocate: https://worldrelief.org/advocate/   Holy Post Plus: Bonus Interview: https://www.patreon.com/posts/122502748/ Ad-Free version of this episode: https://www.patreon.com/posts/122579252/ 0:00 - Show Starts   2:28 - Theme Song   2:50 - Sponsor - AG1 - Heavily researched, thoroughly purity-tested, and filled with stuff you need.

'Captain America/ Brave New World's end-credits scene, explained.

During a recent Fox News interview, Vice President J.D. Vance cited “an old school and very Christian concept” to justify rejecting refugees and ending international aid. Bishops from his own church disagreed. The Holy Post crew explores the concept Vance was citing, how he misunderstands it, and why his interpretation undermines the entire New Testament. Kaitlyn interviews Skye about his new book, “What If Jesus Was Serious About Justice?” They talk about the link between justice and worship, what it means to have a heart “far from God,” and why the doctrine of penal substitutionary atonement is biblical but taught in a proudly unbiblical way in many churches.

David French brings us his thoughts on why the GOP is no longer the party of the Constitution. Have political party allegiances broken the system? What Constitutional guard rails can operate when people are worried about falling out of the President's favor? Then, he talks about Carl Schmitt, a German political thinker who may have the key to understanding the difference between the politics we're used to—and the emerging politics of the New Right.   David French's article on Schmittian politics: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/26/opinion/trump-maga-schmitt.html   0:00 - Theme Song   0:17 - Show Begins   2:11 - Tiktok—banned or not?   8:10 - Does Trump obey the Supreme Court?   15:30 - Resistant Bacteria Analogy   24:26 - Senators Following the People   27:29 - Political Parties as Checks   34:45 - The Gingrich-Clinton Wars   41:28 - Schmitt and MAGA Morality   53:15 - The Moment for Courage   1:04:52 - End Credits

How can we help those impacted by the L.A. wildfires? Because of A.I., climate change, and falling fertility rates, Ezra Klein says we are living “in the age of monsters,” but is he really just upset about Trump? And how is technology fundamentally rewiring our brains to avoid social interaction, and what should we do about it? Phil, Kaitlyn, and Skye offer their suggestions. Then Kaitlyn talks with Wheaton College theology professor Emily McGowin about her new book, “Households of Faith,” and what it means to think of our families formationally rather than formulaically.

Former president and born again Christian, Jimmy Carter, died at the age of 100. As the media reflects on his legacy of public service and humanitarianism, some are contrasting Carter's faith with that of conservative white evangelicals. Esau McCaulley says Carter is being used as a cudgel by progressives to shame their political opponents. Is he right? Skye and Phil unpack two explanations for the country's rejection of President Carter for Ronald Reagan in 1980. Was Carter too liberal or too humble? Then, pastor and Holy Post Pundit, Gabriel Salguero, is back to talk about a second Trump administration's plan to deport millions of undocumented immigrants, and how Christians and church leaders should hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Also this week—Phil wants to do a telethon for turtles.    Holy Post Plus Getting Schooled - Heresy 101: https://www.patreon.com/posts/119252265/   0:00 - Show Starts 3:51 - Theme Song 4:12  - Sponsor - Sundays Dog Food - Get 40% off your first order of Sundays.

Send us a textFilmshake's year of 1999 ends with one of 1999's final releases, The Green Mile. Your hosts were so emotionally devastated by this film 25 years ago that they haven't had the heart to venture back to it...until now. But this isn't just an episode on The Green Mile...it's a culmination of everything Filmshake has done this year...which means it's time for one more cell-rattling argument!

A Catholic bishop, with a social media following second only to the Pope, is proving that dumbing down the faith is the wrong way to reach young adults. But is his celebrity status getting in the way? A new study finds the most generous people are also the most likely to consistently read the Bible. Kaitlyn talks to Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez about telling the truth to the church out of love. Her new book, “Being a Sanctuary,” is honest about the harms many churches are causing, but also shows how the church is the key to healing.

More Americans than ever are single but they're not happy about it. A new article in The Atlantic examines how the sexes are drifting apart, why more men are looking for a partner than women, and the side-effects of using an app rather than community to find a date. Then, political scientist Hahrie Han's new book “Undivided” explores why the racial solidarity program at an evangelical megachurch was more successful than corporate DEI programs, and how that success created unexpected challenges for the predominantly white church. Also this week: the Swiss make an A.I. Jesus, and a Chicago school kid makes a medical breakthrough.   Holy Post Plus Bonus Interview: https://www.patreon.com/posts/117695861/   0:00 - Intro   1:08 - Show Starts   2:47 - Theme Song   3:09 - Sponsor - Sundays Dog Food - Get 40% off your first order of Sundays.

David French has finally watched Rings of Power season two—and he and Skye don't quite have the same feelings about it.

  It's been a week since the election and why Americans voted to send Donald Trump back to the White House is beginning to come into focus. The entire Holy Post team—Phil, Skye, Kaitlyn, and Esau—is here to talk about why Trump won and how Harris lost. Was it the economy? Was it racism and misogyny? Was it identity politics or disinformation in the media? Everyone has a theory. Then New York Times columnist and Holy Post regular, David French, is back to give his take on the election. He explains why Kamala Harris's decision to focus on abortion backfired, and why January 6 did not disqualify Trump for most Americans.   0:00 - Intro   1:21 - Theme Song   1:42 - Sponsor - Glorify - Sign up for the #1 Christian Daily Devotional App to help you stay focused on God.

Being a cultural Christian used to be an insult, but more people are embracing the label with pride. The Holy Post crew unpacks what's behind the growing affection for cultural Christianity, and they explain why it's more important than ever to embrace the weird, supernatural beliefs of the faith. Historian Kristen Kobes Du Mez is back to discuss her new documentary, “For Our Daughters,” about the sexual abuse scandals that have shaken the faith of many in the church. She sees a link between the theology and culture that created and covered-up sexual abuse in the church, and the rise of political idolatry within evangelicalism. Also this week—hurricanes are now political, and a Haitian pastor in New Hampshire with a sense of humor invites pets to his church.   For Our Daughters Full Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkES4X_qb6c   Holy Post Plus: Getting Schooled: Debt and Theology 101 https://www.patreon.com/posts/113616129/   0:00 - Intro   1:18 - Show Starts   3:24 - Theme Song   3:45 - Sponsor - Sundays Dog Food - Get 40% off your first order of Sundays.
