From the publisher
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.

Passed Over Snake Draft
In honor of Passover, we’re holding a Passed Over Snake Draft. Join Erin, Evan, and Jamie as we discuss biblical concepts or faith themes that have been ignored or overlooked. We’ll look at passed-over Marys in the Bible, entire groups of people that the church has ignored, and times that God passed over people for us. Which Disney theme park passed over the opportunity for a Genesis-inspired entry, and what are the elements of Church past that Erin would like to return to? You’ll have to listen to find out!

SWDGISS: Atonement Theories
What’s the deal with theories of atonement? In this latest Stuff We Didn’t Get in Sunday School Episode, Erin and Evan discuss popular atonement theories and answer listener questions about topics like atonement in other religions, what sin has to do with all this, how to talk with kids about these topics, and so much more! We also know that these topics can be tough and confusing, so we’ve found TV show comparisons for each theory!
