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.

The Serpent
This twelfth season of The Bible Binge is our Villain season, a collection of episodes focused on the biggest bads in all the Bible. This first episode is all about the Serpent, that deceptive, slithering smooth-talker whose beginning was our end. Craftier than any other beast of the field, this villain started it all, but does he simply play Devil’s advocate or is he Satan himself?MENTIONS

Faith Adjacent: Santa Claus
Today on Faith Adjacent, join us as we walk right down Santa Claus Lane to chat about that jolly old elf: Saint Nick, Kris Kringle, Santa Claus. Santa’s origin story is a mix of cultures and traditions, some more faith adjacent than others, but are Santa and Christianity really at odds with one another?

Writing on the Wall
Nothing will crash a night of frivolity like a disembodied hand writing cryptic words on the wall. In this episode, Daniel is called out of his 50 year retirement to do what he does best - interpret. In exchange for a new purple robe, it's Daniel's job to set the record straight as to whether God is for or against the use of sacred, ceremonial goblets as the nice china.MENTIONS

Faith Adjacent: Thanksgiving
Pull up a chair and settle into a tryptophan fever-dream as we feast on the faith adjacency of the Thanksgiving meal. We’re covering a cornucopia of topics from the creation of our national holiday and the origins of green bean casserole to the real story behind the first Thanksgiving. The truth might be messier and more complicated than our narrative of fellowship and unity, but together let's create a fuller, more inclusive table where all are welcome.MENTIONS
