    The Promised Land (God's Version)

    The Promised Land (God's Version)

    Blessed Wednesday to all of God's monsters... but especially you, dear listener. We have an inspirational story in store for you this week. All about the conquest of the city of Ai, and also a quick detour to discuss the stoning of Achan. Doesn't that sound lovely? In the pop corner, Mariah and Dan gush about grammy winners and parasocial-besties of the pod, boygenius. And, of course, Mariah celebrates the new Taylor Swift album announcement. Go ahead and settle in and make yourself a hot beverage while you listen this week, folks. You deserve it. 
    Special thanks to Henry Rogland for our intro, and to Bird Creek for our theme song, "Hooky With Sloane."

    the Foreskin Awakens

    the Foreskin Awakens

    And it came to pass that a new episode was released! Behold! We're back again this week with the second mass circumcision event of the Old Testament.  Just before invading Jericho, Joshua realizes he and his army must NOT forget to get rid of that cumbersome foreskin. Plus - special guest appearance by A Man. Then, in the Pop Corner, we discuss the Veggie Tales episode titled "Josh and the Big Wall - A Lesson in Obedience", and the challenges of being a proverbs 31 woman.

    God Math - on Calvinism (feat. Henry Rogland)

    God Math - on Calvinism (feat. Henry Rogland)

    This week instead of your regularly scheduled sermon, we have a Very Special Episode featuring the Disclaimer Voice himself… that’s right kids, we’ve got Henry Rogland in the pulpit this week!!  Henry joins us to discuss his experience growing up  in Calvinism, the concept of T.U.L.I.P., and the Classic Christian School education. Basically it’s a generous helping of shame, a delightful little acronym that appeals to the youth of today, and waaaay too much homework. This one’s a doozy y’all, so pick a poem to memorize and get ready to start a fight, because lest we forget: there is no hatred like Christian love.

    Folie á Deux

    Folie á Deux

    This week we dive into The Book of Joshua, involving Rahab's deal with the Israel spies sent to Jericho. More importantly, however, we provide our in depth analysis of the VeggieTales episode entitled Josh and The Big Wall: A Lesson in Obedience. Don't miss it.

    Drunk With Blood

    Drunk With Blood

    This week on Bible Stories for Blasphemers, it's... "Previously, in The Bible" in this Dragon Ball Z-esque pseudo-recap episode in which Dan recounts the Book of Deuteronomy.  So grab your salt, get in your Impala, queue up "Carry On My Wayward Son", and join us. 

    Also: Remember to send us your Scientology questions & strange religious encounters!

    We Have Risen (Welcome to Season Two!)

    We Have Risen (Welcome to Season Two!)

    BEHOLD, the miracle of resurrection!!! We are BACK, and unholier than ever! 

    In this episode we discuss our rounding out of our Holy Trinary by bringing on our new producer, Everett Kemper! And rather than a bible story this week, we touch on Mariah's upbringing in Scientology, and Dan's pre-college education at a Creationist school. 

    Don't forget to email or DM us your questions about Scientology for our future Q&A episode, and also PLEASE tell us about your brushes with cults & religion.

exactly what I was looking for!

I was looking for a podcast in the style of “Myths and Legends” podcast, but about the bible stories.
Well I think I’ve found it!
The hosts are amazing, thank you so much for making this!
