Ever noticed how the stuff Christians really want you to believe--miracles, the afterlife, invisible sky judges--can't actually be tested, proven, or even mildly verified by science? That's because, according to them, it's all "outside time, space, and reality." Convenient, right? In today's episode, we break down why "just believe!" doesn't cut it, how near-death experiences are more brain chemistry than divine Uber rides to Heaven, and why we shouldn't have to live under laws built on someone else's unprovable fantasy novel. Strap in--this one might raise your blood pressure AND your IQ.

The 250th episode!Dan is joined by photographer, Matty Parker!We chat about the long apprenticeship one has to take before calling themselves a photographer, growing up in the country, the country work ethic, leaving Sydney, figuring out what you actually want to do, spending too long researching and procrastinating, having nothing to lose, filming and documenting the process of learning to be a photographer, buying the first camera, growing into something, finding interesting people, looking at the world differently, the distraction of phones, taking a photo that matters, telling a story, burn out, having to tend to life, getting honest feedback from the places you least expect, realising what a good photo can be, the grunge and grit of Melbourne, being the guy with the camera, resetting, perfectionism, taking people's photos, connecting the love of cars and photography, the brief time of owning a keyboard, pushing through the frustration, surprising yourself, enjoying what you do, affecting others, gear, video games, putting yourself out there, just needing to start, entering the lonely stage, collaboration, and a whole lot more!Follow Matty's work!

Did Jesus walk out of the tomb quietly?In this episode, Dr. Corey Abney and Dr. Ben Skaug respond to a controversial Lenten reflection from the Papal Preacher, who describes the resurrection of Jesus as "not a triumphant display of power, but a quiet act of love." Pastor Corey and Pastor Ben unpack why this framing creates a false dichotomy between love and dominion—and risks redefining the resurrection altogether.Why does it matter that He rose in power, and what’s at stake if we downplay that victory?With Scripture, history, and (yes) a little ping pong banter, the conversation moves from Genesis to Revelation, Colossians to Corinthians, exploring how Christ as the Second Adam crushes the serpent, defeats death, and secures eternal victory for the redeemed.This isn't a quiet episode. It's a clear call to recover a full-definition resurrection-bodily, powerful, victorious, and loving.Follow us on our new YouTube Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/@TheologyisFun#Resurrection #TheologyIsFun #PopeAndPastor #ChristianPodcast #DrCoreyAbney #DrBenSkaug #PapalPreacher #ChristusVictor #BodilyResurrection #BiblicalTheology #EasterTruth #FalseDichotomy #QuietlyVanquished #Colossians215 #VictoryInJesus
