What if the desire for revenge wasn't just emotional—but biological? In this gripping conversation, Yale-trained lawyer and researcher James Kimmel Jr. explains how the brain processes revenge, why it feels so satisfying in the moment, and why it rarely brings the peace we expect. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and his own powerful personal story, James unpacks how revenge fuels everything from schoolyard fights to mass shootings—and how it's often disguised as “justice.” We explore the real reasons people commit violent acts, how our justice system may be reinforcing cycles of harm, and what it actually takes to break free. You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of the human drive to get even—and how to shift that impulse toward healing. If you've ever held a grudge, fantasized about payback, or wondered why letting go is so hard, this episode will change the way you see yourself—and others.

In this episode of Faith for Normal People, Beau Underwood and Brian Kaylor join Pete and Jared to explore the history of how mainline Protestants have contributed to Christian nationalism in the United States.

What is authentic Christianity, and am I an authentic Christian? That might sound like the start of a guilt trip, but it's not. Christianity is meant to be a way of living with Christ (it was literally called "The Way" by early believers!). This way is not just for a "super spiritual" few, it's not an end to fun and freedom, and it's not a theological quiz. In the "After + Math" in Acts 4, we're given three ways normal people live out authentic Christianity. So, if you're normal (or not!), this is for you. First time listening to our podcast?

In this episode of The Bible for Normal People, Dr. Julie Faith Parker joins Pete and Jared to reexamine the story of Eve through a feminist lens, challenging the long-held belief that Eve is the source of original sin.

What's your ethnicity? Who else is included in that group, and why do you draw those boundaries where you do? Well, this week we're bringing in hired-gun Bible expert Dr Aaron Higashi to walk us through the rich and sometimes confusing concept of ethnicity, and some of the surprising ways ethnic heritage plays out in the Bible (the Israelites ARE Canaanites? Whaaaaa???!) . Then, we're going to delve into Biblical law. There's a lot of debate about which laws of the Bible apply to modern believers, and which don't. How should one decide? Well, we're going to look at two different domains: laws about food, and laws about sex. What can we learn about one set of laws by looking at the other? Thanks so much to Aaron Higashi for filling in while McClellan continues to bounce all over the country.

People can be complicated—but wisdom doesn't have to be. In this message, Pastor Lindsay Rangel breaks down how-to "people" well without losing your mind. You'll learn the three types of people the Bible warns about—wise, foolish, and straight-up harmful—and how to recognize those patterns in others and yourself. Spoiler: this message isn't about fixing everyone else. It's about becoming the kind of person others feel safe around. If you've ever struggled with boundaries, fake friends, or feedback you didn't want to hear—this one's for you. One question might change your life:

Ita O'Brien the intimacy co-ordinator behind smash hit shows Normal People and Bad Sisters, talks to Dearbhail about her career and her new book Intimacy which is an in-depth and informative look at how her work for the screen can help enhance our own relationships.

In this reissue episode of The Bible for Normal People, Pete and Jared sit down with the late Walter Brueggemann to reflect on how the Bible can be reclaimed in the mainline church after generations of historical criticism. He challenges both liberal and evangelical tendencies to reduce Scripture to rigid certainties, instead offering a vision of the Bible as a dynamic, imaginative script meant to be performed. With insights on authority, contradiction, justice, and the role of the church, Brueggemann invites us to take the Bible seriously—without taking it literally. This is a reissue of The Bible for Normal People Episode 4 from April 2017 in loving memory of our dear friend Walter (1933-2025).  Show Notes → https://thebiblefornormalpeople.com/episode-301-walter-brueggemann-resurrecting-the-bible-in-the-mainline-church-reissue/  Watch this episode on YouTube → https://youtu.be/nKt3oqEnwwk Learn more about your ad choices.

Charles Manson didn't pull the trigger. He didn't swing the knife. But he convinced others to kill for him — and they did. A Scary Ringmaster who turned hippies into killers. In the summer of 1969, a failed musician and self-proclaimed prophet manipulated a group of young followers and hippies into committing some of the most brutal murders in American history. This is the story of the cult that called him “God,” the Hollywood elite who crossed paths with him, and the nights that changed Los Angeles forever.A mix of mind control, LSD, broken dreams, and twisted ambition — the Manson Family was a cult disguised as a commune. Their crimes weren't just murders — they were messages. Written in blood.This documentary reveals the full truth:

We say God still speaks—but what does that actually sound like? In this message, Pastor Joseph walks through Luke 24, Mark 6, and 1 Kings 19 to show that God still speaks—just not always how we expect. From conversation and Scripture to sacred rhythms, prophetic nudges, and inward whispers—God's voice isn't silent. It's gentle, consistent, and near.

For the first time as a host combination, Ben, Dan, and Cameron sit down to discuss the most controversial topics in personal finance. We begin with identity and how it informs decision-making. Then, we revisit the renting versus buying debate, why this remains a highly controversial topic, the ins and outs of income investing, and understating the fervor of dividend investing. We also unpack FIRE as a branch of self-help; how it informs happiness; and how personality influences one's approach to the FIRE principle. To end, we closely examine Bill Bengen's 4% rule, and the Aftershow encourages us to maintain high podcasting standards while revealing what you can look forward to in our latest Rational Reminder t-shirt release.    Key Points From This Episode:   (0:01:25) Cameron's positive LinkedIn experience regarding insurance.  (0:08:10) How identity informs decision-making.  (0:15:24) Why renting versus buying a home remains a controversial topic.  (0:27:50) Income investing, covered calls, and the fervor of dividend investing.

In this episode of The Bible for Normal People, Pete and Jared again sit down with Richard Rohr, who returns to discuss the biblical prophets—not as predictors of Jesus or future events, but as truth-tellers who confronted the moral failures of their time. Drawing from The Tears of Things, Rohr highlights how prophets spoke to collective injustice—systems of power, wealth, and religion gone wrong—not just individual sin.  Show Notes → https://thebiblefornormalpeople.com/episode-296-richard-rohr-seeing-through-the-eyes-of-the-prophets/  Watch this episode on YouTube → https://youtu.be/7CkaWW1vhec Learn more about your ad choices.

In the last episode of All the Buried Women, co-hosts Beth Allison Barr and Savannah Locke explore the story behind a confidential letter in the SBC'S archives that leads to a pastor's wife named Maria. They also look at the Southern Baptist Convention's decision to expel churches that ordain women, critiquing the rhetoric of unity and biblical authority used to justify the exclusion of women from leadership roles Last, the episode draws on the lost portrait of Saint Fabiola as a symbol of women's enduring resistance, urging listeners to recognize the hidden stories of women who continue to challenge oppressive structures in the church. We reached out to the SBC, Paige Patterson, Darryl Gilyard, Tommy Gilmore, and the Council for National Policy for comment, and did not hear back.

In Episode 4 of All the Buried Women, co-hosts Beth Allison Barr and Savannah Locke share the story of Christa Brown, a sexual abuse survivor and advocate. Her experience reflects the broader issue of clergy abuse, where victims are often silenced and blamed, while abusers are protected and transferred to new congregations. The episode also highlights Pooler's research on the harmful psychological impacts of clergy sexual abuse, including PTSD rates higher than those of combat veterans, and the Southern Baptist Convention's (SBC) ongoing failure to protect victims. We reached out to the SBC, Paige Patterson, Darryl Gilyard, Tommy Gilmore, and the Council for National Policy for comment, and did not hear back.
