Sunday School for Heathens is a show about Christianity and how weird it sounds to everyone else. Co-Hosted by Bryan, a self professed fanboy of religion and religious history, and Shannon who never went to church growing up and learned all her religious history from pop culture, each week we dive deep into a story or topic in Christianity; answer the questions you are afraid to ask, compare the historical and contemporary points of view, and examine the differences across Christian denominations of all kinds. With jokes, trivia, and absolutely so religious agenda, Sunday School for Heathens is the religion podcast for everyone.

We’re back with a special episode! This one is all about spiritual communion. Bryan tells us why really wanting bread that makes you live forever is sometimes enough, particularly in these times when it is not safe to gather at church. Our saint is Saint Linwina, who stayed in bed for a very long time.

Customer Reviews
Real Theology in Plain Vernacular
This podcast shares theology accurately, precisely, correctly, respectfully, liberally in plain language that is understandable to the every day person.
This show is fantastic!!!!
As a heathen who went to Catholic school, I'm obsessed with this podcast
way too much time lost
Even though it’s a very informative program, way too much time is lost in over half of the programs time is not related to the topic discussed… A certain 45 minute program has the first 25 minutes of non-related conversation between the hosts..
