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.

Next up is he who betrayed Jesus, that infamous traitor and untrustworthy money manager, Judas. This guy serves up some serious hall of fame villain vibes, but what if he’s not such a bad guy after all? From his downer dinner party with Jesus to that infamous kiss (on the lips!), we’re on a mission to paint a fuller picture of Judas and maybe even change the narrative.MENTIONS

Next up in that rag-tag group of disciples is the infamous doubter and inspector of nail holes, Thomas.
