Episode 117: Catching Strays
4d ago00:46:43Tap to summarizeIn this episode, Jamie & Eric kick things off with a backhanded compliment and Eric's questionable trip to the zoo. In Houston, We Have a Question, Sermonots ask about Jesus' ideal walk-in music, the effects of the fall, and, uh, animal romance. In So Help Meme God, they tackle the age-old question: does God have a sense of humor? Finally, in Pester the Pastor, they debate just how important church buildings really are to worship. It's silly, it's sincere, it's Not the Sermon.

[REPOST] How to talk with an Atheist w/ Michael Fincher
Jul 1300:54:43Tap to summarizeThis episode is one of our most listened to of all time. In Season 1, Eric and Jamie were joined by professing atheist Michael Fincher. Have you ever talked with an atheist before? The dialogue between Christians and atheists has been strained by years of "boogeyman" stories and a general misunderstanding of each other's culture. On this Bonus Hot Take Episode Jamie and Eric are joined by a professing atheist, Michael Fincher. Michael and the NTS crew talk about science, ethics, and how Atheist meetups are a buzzkill. They talk about shared values and what Christians and atheists can do to better understand each other.

[REPOST] Episode 82: Happy Caw
Jun 2200:49:11Tap to summarizeEnjoy the only episode in existence of all of our podcast hosts together in one room! In this episode, Jamie & Eric kick off with Shooting the Skybalon, where Eric accidentally plays a clip with a not-so-holy word during a staff meeting. In Shady Theology, the guys dig into the theology of speaking in tongues—what it is, what it’s for, and why it still matters. Next up in How Great is Our Pod, they debut a “prodigal” worship song with a special guest (hint, hint). Finally, in Pester the Pastor, they ask if multi-level marketing has any place in the church—or if it’s just spiritual spam. It’s raw, funny, and loaded with the mix of memes and theology you didn’t know you needed—welcome to Not the Sermon.

[Repost] Episode 77: “Gees Croyce
Jun 800:47:30Tap to summarizeEnjoy one of our personal favorite episodes from Season 3! In this episode, Jamie & Eric serve up a fresh round of theology, comedy, and chaos. In Shooting the Skybalon, Jamie tells the story of a fine dining experience that somehow featured a DJ, while Eric shares about catching a stray “Pharisee” insult in the church foyer. Next, in Shady Theology, the guys dive into stories of people claiming to visit heaven—are they legit or just tall tales? Over in So Help Meme God, they can’t stop laughing at “Gees Croyse We Luv U, God,” a viral moment featuring an overly excited guy breakdancing for Jesus. Finally, in Eric’s Edumakation, Eric breaks down the major atonement theories, why they exist, and why they actually matter for everyday faith.
