God's Not Dead (w/Troy Carruthers)
Look, I usually try to put a funny little summary here but this movie is vile and hateful and not good for Christians or Atheists or really anyone who doesn’t have a black heart. The guys are joined by former pastor Troy Carruthers to get into some of the more intricate aspects of religion (especially the danger of “narrative”) and why this movie is harmful to everyone. Don’t worry, they still had fun discussing this nutty movie. They also discuss Kevin Sorbo’s come-to-Jesus moment, the Newsboys, evil Liberals and their woke agenda, the premise that would never happen in a million billion years and more. Plus: Troy’s Top 10 list directed at Brendan. Next week: Rock it! What We've Been Watching: Notes on a Scandal Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire Nimona Questions? Comments? Suggestions?
