Episode 41: Deliver Us From Evil - The Dangers of Christian Counseling

What do you get when you mix mental health "services" with evangelical doctrine? You get a toxic cocktail of bad advice, self-deprecation, and hocus pocus that leaves people lost within their own minds with little chance of ever finding their way to a place of emotional wellness. This week, Spider and Shelle continue their thoughts on emotional wellness and how the vast majority of faith-based counseling is beyond detrimental to it in a far too vast majority of cases.

Episode 37: MAGA Madness - Why Evangelicals Support Donald Trump

On the eve of the single most important presidential election in American history, Spider and Shelle lay out the most significant reasons why evangelicals flock to a leader who, on the surface, is the antithesis of what their religion deems moral, ethical, and compassionate. We look at numerous biblical parallels that all point to the same conclusion: evangelicals love Trump because Trump is a crystal clear reflection of the attitudes, personality, and behavior of their god.
