The SkyePod

Philip Yancey's affair raises questions about how we respond to the sins of famous Christians. And should prayers be written by ChatGPT? What about sermons? What about podcast devotionals? And why are people calling Justin Bieber's pastor a "hype priest?" Drew's got news and Skye's ready to talk about it.   0:06 - Theme Song   3:12 - Philip Yancey's Affair   18:05 - ChatCGP Prayeres   29:35 - End Credits   Get the full episode by signing up for Holy Post Plus: https://www.patreon.com/posts/148304064/  

Skye's here to answer questions—and talk about the Stranger Things finale. Is there a secret episode called "ConformityGate?" Then he talks about the questionable Christian cliches we use around grief and more.   Questions:  Why do you tout your public education experience and say that you support public education?  What are your thoughts on participating in interfaith outreach? When Jesus said to help the poor, did he mean in the local church or in the general? Is there a secret finale of Stranger Things?  What was it like writing The World Born in You, since it's in a more autobiographical style? Does evil still exist in the Kingdom of Heaven?  How do you express assurances and comfort when someone dies that reflect a biblical view about the person's state between now and the restoration of all things?   Get the full episode by signing up for Holy Post Plus: https://www.patreon.com/posts/147758132/

Covering topics from politics to pop culture, Skye Jethani offers a slate of 2026 predictions to David French. Will the public finally rebel against the social media companies? Will Texas elect its first Democratic senator in nearly 40 years? Will we finally get definitive proof of UFOs? Will "Dune Part 3" or "The Odyssey" dominate the box office? French unpacks the predictions and explains which ones are overreactions and which are more plausible.   0:00 - Theme Songs   2:15 - Nolan's Odyssey   6:23 - First Texan Democrat Senator?   11:52 - Social Media Bans   29:15 - US Government Has Alien Technology?   36:25 - Trump Appoints New Supreme Court Justice   44:05 - Transgender Self-Identification Decline   58:55 - End Credits

Skye's prepared to get on his soapbox to respond to Drew's news stories and internet controversies. We all know Die Hard is a Christmas movie, but is Home Alone a Christian movie? Is Old Man Marley a Christ-figure to young Kevin? Skye agree with Kirk Cameron that annihilationism makes sense—but many have hinged their faith on eternal conscious torment. And do stories in sermons actually help people remember?   0:00 - Theme Song   3:03 - Is Home Alone a Christian Movie   9:40 - Kirk Cameron on Hell   22:35 - The Neuroscience of Worship   24:38 - Get the full episode by signing up for Holy Post Plus: https://www.patreon.com/posts/146095822/   Topics Covered: Is Home Alone Christian?: https://www.ncregister.com/commentaries/home-alone-catholic-heart Kirk Cameron's Theology of Hell Changes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RflbA8Vt_Y The Neuroscience of Worship: https://relevantmagazine.com/current/science/the-neuroscience-of-worship/ Do Sermons Need Stories?: https://x.com/RebeccMcLaugh/status/1998783054626611250  Therapy culture replacing religion: https://www.freyaindia.co.uk/p/no-not-everyone-needs-therapy
