Desiring Brethren

This is it friends... our swan song, our final will and testament, our eulogy to ourselves. BRETHREN FOREVER!

In our second-to-last episode ever, we talk about finding common ground with other religions! To infinitely help us with that, we're joined by David Shorten... no, not David Short. We'll explain later. I know, I know.

With Tanner away, Jack decides to gang up on Dave with two of his good friends, Chris and Josh. The nice part about being ganged up on by pacifists is that you can beat them up easily, so Dave winds up just fine.

Jack's got a radical idea... it's a big one. His mom doesn't agree with it. It'll get him kicked out of high society. But he BELIEVES it, gosh darn it!

After a looooooong break, we're back in a major way. Disclaimer: we do not own or profit from any of the film clips in this episode.

We've commandeered Tom MacPherson for another episode, and he joins Tanner and Dave to think all sorts of musical thoughts!

Ferda Bible nerds out there, our love song to you: an award show celebrating all the minor characters.  Enjoy.

With the flood of information from around the world, has it all just become entertainment? Does it ever lead to action? Are we 'amusing ourselves to death'? Should North American Christians stop putting their focus internationally, and invest in our home turf? All these questions and more, with no guarantee of answers forthcoming!

Finally, it's happened! Dave and Tanner watch Aronofsky's "Noah", coming away with questions like: Why does Noah try to kill babies? Is Noah fighting global warming? And, most importantly, HOW COOL IS METHUSELAH???

In our 2nd attempt at an important and controversial topic, Joel Short saves the day once again with his brilliance, wit, and supreme Oilers knowledge.

There's a saying at Desiring Brethren: if you need extra brain-power, bring in a second Short. Dave's older brother Joel joins us this episode to talk creation, evolution, and how we read the Bible.

Dave gets extra-spicy this episode as we talk dressing up for church!So to honour him, pa-ra-pa-pa-pummmmmm,I wore my sweats for him, pa-ra-pa-pa-pummmmm

This episode Jack grinds his ax, beats his recently-deceased horse, and makes sure to peeve his pet over the value of secular help. Tanner interrupts him a lot, while Dave just wants to know what's going on. WE LIKE TO FIGHT TOO!

Newspaper in one hand, Revelation in the other: what should be our response to those who are looking for signs of Armageddon? In this episode, populist-hero Dave battles the elitist-scum Jackson and Tanner over the rapture, Left Behind, and whether you should challenge those in your church that are keeping an eye on the sky.

We present the second part of our loooong conversation about camp, featuring the 'expert' Anna Page! We talk Evolution vs. Christianity, CTF, flirting, and even NUDE BUTTS (Dave made me write that).

With Anna Page popping in, we got so much content that we're putting out two episodes: so nice you have to listen twice! Part 1 is filled with bragging contests, off-key songs, seven baptisms (you read that right!), and so much more.

Real talk: This is one of the best conversations we've ever had, and Dave wasn't there. Draw your own conclusions. After blowing the dust off the ole Master's thesis, Elly Krogman joins us to talk about one of her passions, rediscovering a theology of brokenness and need.

In 1948, Billy Graham committed to never be alone with a woman that wasn't his wife. In 2017, the 'Billy Graham Rule' is still going strong in the evangelical community, but rarely is it questioned. With Dave away this week, Jackson and Tanner talk with their former Bible School professor Elly Krogman about what impact the Rule might be having in our churches today.

This episode we enter the murky world of "heavenly rewards": the idea that based on our good deeds, some of us are gonna get (in Dave's words) Lamborghinis in heaven while others are gonna be stuck with old junkers. Spoiler alert: none of us understand this topic at all.

In this episode, we shine light on one of the earth's greatest mysteries: why did God make the ocean so spoooooky?
