Nidala Barker: Where We Belong 1:37:46

8d ago1:37:46

1:37:46

“Whether or not you think you belong to the Earth is irrelevant, for you simply do. By virtue of breathing in you receive a gift of oxygen given by the tree and soil, by virtue of breathing out you gift carbon dioxide to the kelp so the fish may have their home. To accept our shared responsibility to the Earth, IS to remember our belonging.” – Nida…

1M ago1:25:56

1:25:56

How to fund a pro surfing career in the 1980s? Sell stickers, Levi’s jeans, bicycles, whatever. Sleep in your board bag. Live on a diet of mushrooms and bread. World Champion Pauline Menczer got resourceful and hustled however it took to get her to the next stop of the tour. “In the 80s and 90s, surf culture was toxic, especially towards women. Pau…

5M ago42:57

42:57

John Travolta is an angel who swears and smokes cigarettes and eats a lot of sugar and is the desire of every woman on the planet except for Andie MacDowell, who is too busy hiding her shameful secret about how she babysits dogs.

Annie Ford: Adventurous Activism 1:43:34

6M ago1:43:34

1:43:34

The loudest human-made sounds: Nuclear Bomb (224 dB), Rocket launch (204 dB). And clocking in at 260 underwater decibels is the seismic blast, part of a process for exploring for oil and gas in the ocean. Unlike bombs and rockets, however, seismic blasts "fire approximately every 10 seconds around the clock for months at a time." For eight years, M…

7M ago59:05

59:05

What better way to start the new year off than with the latest and greatest from Donald James Parker? This week we watched Pickleball Princess, which turned out not to be a religious movie, except in the sense that pickkeball seems to be Donald's new religion. Pickleball is basically the Messiah in this movie. It can cure racism and build bridges, …

58:48

Kids these days, they're 29 and have major social media followings, am I right?

There's also a murder mystery that goes nowhere, a detective …

#61 - The Story Keepers: Catacomb Rescue 41:29

9M ago41:29

41:29

Imagine an episode of Pinky and the Brain where Brain feeds Pinky to a cat, and you have a basic idea of what this Christian cartoon is like. Nero is killing all the Christians in Rome, and that means it's time for some hilarious antics where four probably-orphans have to run for their lives to avoid being sold into slavery. And it's all very wacky…

Christian and Ka'ale Sea: Many Beginnings 2:01:15

9M ago2:01:15

2:01:15

Many of us dream of laying roots in some balmy, wave-rich location far from where we sprouted - to grow food and let the ocean dictate the day. Few of us do it. Christian and Ka'ale Sea have spent the last 21 years together - surfing, diving, planting, growing a family. They have three daughters, all homeschooled on the remote West Coast of Sumba I…

#59 - Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed 1:02:37

10M ago1:02:37

1:02:37

How did life begin? It's a question no scientist has ever thought about. What are scientists hiding? And do they have what it takes to win $5000 of Ben Stein's money? I might be mixing some things up. In any case, this week we watched Stein's 2008 propaganda-fest, which boldly defends the right of scientists everywhere to advocate for a vaguely def…

One's a skeptic, the other's a lapsed Christian. Now they have to work together to get to the bottom of a mystery about UFOs. Sounds like a recipe for hijinks! But we'll never know, because the movie skips all that. Instead we have to spend endless hours in their magazine's office listening to people drone on about apple juice and the rapture. Why …

1:00:40

What happens when a tough-minded skeptic sets out to disprove Christianity? And what if that story is told by evangelicals who don't seem to know how tough-minded skeptics actually think?

#55 - The Mark 43:34

11M ago43:34

43:34

Die Hard on a plane, but with the rapture! If there's one thing we can't get enough of, it's movies about the rapture that are set mostly on an airplane where the central premise of the film is treated as a surprise plot twist near the end. Sadly, this movie does not feature Nicolas Cage, but it does have Eric Roberts, who is almost as good! Basica…

44:29

This week we're going back to the year 1890, when podcasts were more godly, and all people cared about was their unpublished manuscripts. Dr. Russell Carlisle wants to teach people to follow Jesus' morals without mentioning Jesus' name every two seconds, but his baldest colleague is so outraged at this idea that he sends Dr. Carlisle over a hundred…

12M ago56:26

56:26

Try as we might, we just can't seem to escape the Kirk Cameron vortex. Why do we do this to ourselves? Do we enjoy the suffering? Is there something wrong with our brains? Perhaps if the three of us had received an education directly from our parents, this never would have happened. We'd all be outside, tearing up the countryside in our four-wheele…

He's already saved Christmas. Now he has to save his own marriage. No, we're not talking about Ernest P. Worrell, we're talking about someone with far less dignity than him.

What if the Blair Witch became obsessed with evangelical purity culture? In that case, you'd probably wind up with our movie for this week. It's our first found-footage Christian horror film. It's called The Lock In, and it's quite bad. Imagine Paranormal Activity, only all the activity is caused by a porno magazine. Not only that, but the "activit…

This week the gang takes on the world of Christian stand-up comedy, sort of. We watched an episode from a Pure Flix series called "Pure Comedy" that focuses on ventriloquist/comedian Kevin Johnson. Is it actually faith-based comedy? It's hard to say. All we know for sure is that it's not Kevin's fault when he bombs. In fact, it's probably your faul…

Have you ever heard about a woman getting married at the age of 22 and asked yourself, "I wonder what her story is?" Well that's exactly the story our movie this week sets out to…
