E48: Science vs Christianity, Does Science Actually Point to God?
In this episode, AJ and Delaney explore the relationship between science and Christianity—from the Big Bang and fine-tuning to evolution, DNA, consciousness, the fossil record, and more.
Does science undermine faith, or does it actually point toward a Creator? We look at the evidence, challenge common assumptions, and ask whether science and Scripture may be more compatible than many people think.

E47: What No One Tells You About Being a Christian
What does it really mean to be a Christian—and why does following Jesus often look so different from what you expect?
In this episode, AJ and Delaney share the lessons they wish they had learned earlier in their faith. They discuss topics like; why Christianity is more than following rules, what sin and hell actually mean, why suffering does not disappear when you follow Christ, the importance of mentorship and Christian community, and why doubt can lead to a deeper faith rather than destroy it.
Whether you are new to Christianity, questioning your faith, or have followed Jesus for years, this conversation may challenge some of your assumptions about what the Christian life is supposed to look like.
