Bros Bibles & Beer

In this heated and deeply personal episode of Bros Bibles & Beer, Andy McCraw, Zack Krater, and "professional Christian" guest Carey Robinson deconstruct the modern evangelical obsession with defending the modern State of Israel at all costs. The crew kicks things off with a high-stakes game of "Rapture, Barely Even Know Her" forcing the hosts to choose between being a "Beamer" (pre-tribulation escapee) or "Last Man Standing" (tribulation survivor). The conversation turns provocative as they challenge the "ironclad truth" of Dispensationalism—a 19th-century theological framework they argue has been used to manipulate the American church into blind support for the modern State of Israel. From Netanyahu and Epstein files to the "uniparty" and toxic empathy, no cultural third rail is left untouched. Are we following the Prince of Peace or just political operatives in pulpits? Grab a beverage of choice and join us for a dive into biblical prophecy, Christian Zionism, and why spiritual maturity often looks a lot like deconstruction.
