Faith Adjacent
The Popcast Media Group
Conversations involving faith are often fraught with scholarly nerd alerts about ancient linguistics and inaccessible theological discussions centered around hermeneutics. But what if there was a way to use your pop culture literacy to enhance your biblical literacy? Welcome to Faith Adjacent, the podcast where we try to understand the modern dynamics of faith through a combined commitment to uncomfortable honesty, authentic weirdness, and critical thinking. Faith Adjacent is hosted by Knox McCoy and Jamie Golden of The Popcast along with Resident Bible Scholar Erin Moon.

SWDGISS: Dinosaurs
Stuff We Didn’t Get In Sunday School is our episode series where we attempt to shine a light on our spiritual or biblical blindspots. We interrogate this knowledge void to understand why we developed this gap in awareness and whether or not it changes or challenges the complexion of our beliefs.In this debut episode, we tackle one of the most popular questions we get in here at The Bible Binge: why aren’t dinosaurs in the Bible? Join Resident Bible Scholar Erin Moon along with Knox and Jamie as they dig up a conversation surrounding three main creation theories. Along the way, you’ll hear about unicorns, Gainesology, behemoth nuggets, and whether or not the existence of dinosaurs should unravel your faith. You’ll have to listen to find out whether or not this should have been taught in Sunday School. MENTIONS
