Podcast Overview

We call bullshit on religion and still can’t quite let it go. A religion professor & a spiritually curious skeptic take on belief in real time: what’s compelling, what’s broken, and why we keep reaching for something beyond ourselves. No scripts. No easy answers. Just honest, often irreverent conversations about faith, doubt, culture, and the strange ways religion keeps showing up in our lives, even when we think we’re done with it. Because despite bad institutions, corrupt leaders, toxic theology, and plenty of nonsense… people keep coming back. And honestly, so do we.

We examine what happens when government priorities, economic interests, and religious traditions collide. Can a landscape be both public land and sacred ground? And how should a pluralistic society navigate competing claims about places that carry deep historical, cultural, and spiritual meaning?</p>
