The Petty Prophet Podcast

Bear with us, we're trying here! As Joel adjusts to his new role as Managing Editor of The Babylon Bee, we're working to get back into a rhythm with this podcast. Never fear! We aren't going anywhere! This week: We're working to get back on a schedule with these. Thanks for your patience!

Finally, we're together again! It's about time! Listen as three rusty podcast hosts meander through some sort of conversation and talk about stuff. Give us a break- we need to get warmed up!

Joel is out! (He will be returning soon) but in his absence, Aaron and Sam have courageously stepped up to record an episode. In this one, we talk about mental health, the Church, and why social media should be banned for everyone under 18. All three of us will be back soon!

Hey there! Just a quick note to say I'm taking a 1-2 week break while I go on vacation and transition into a new job. We'll be back soon!

The Berry brothers sit down for another discussion on Paul David Tripp's recent woke "coming out" video. We also respond to Phil Vischer's video on systemic racism, Eric Mason's book Woke Church, and Nick Cannon's canceling. Resources mentioned in the episode: Neil Shenvi's review of Woke Church by Eric Mason Rosaria Butterfield's excellent critique of Woke Church and intersectionality Jon Harris's website - great resource for understanding the debate Paul David Tripp's Video Phil Vischer's Video Slow to Write Blog Tim Challies summary of White Fragility Desiring God - Seeing the World in Black and White Obi-Wan and Anakin voiced by Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck

This week, I talk about Tolkien's essay On Fairy Stories, and why some of today's relentlessly dark entertainment fails to measure up. Article Link: "In The Age of Trump, Escapist Entertainment Has Become An Impossibility"

No man hug this week! (sad face.) Here's a quick update though. Love y'all!

I still need time to polish my next essay, but I still need to get some content out! What to do? Hm... let's pull up the news for some unscripted commentary! Thanks for listening! We'll get back on track next week!

This week, each of the Berry brothers brought one thing they wanted to talk about. Aaron Joel Sam And this week, we finally end with a proper prequel meme. :)

In this episode, I share some thoughts about mainstream American Evangelicalism. I think we are all headed towards a reckoning where we will all be asked to die on the hill of Biblical Christianity or follow the culture in its downward spiral. How will it end?

It's the weekly Man-Hug! As our culture, our government, and our leaders crumble all around us, we find reasons to laugh and reasons to hope.

All around the country we are seeing statues and symbols torn down. We are seeing people canceled, their lives destroyed. This is nothing new. It can be traced back to an ancient guilt ritual over 5,000 years old. Christ was the fulfillment of that ritual and the sacrifice for that guilt, and our country has forgotten Him.

This week, video games! Why? Because we love them, that's why!

When the "woke left" fights racism, they always become what they are fighting against. In this episode, I make a case for the much-derided, highly unpopular phrase "all lives matter." Why would I do something so insensitive and tone-deaf? Hear me out.

The Man Hug is back at it and we have a lot to talk about! Cold Open: The Minneapolis Community Justice Sensitive Crisis Intervention Response Team Current events Topic of the day: Fatherhood!!!! Joel's Rant: "Your kid's favorite movie is trash"

This week I talk with Leonydus Johnson, a renaissance man and Libertarian Twitter influencer. Follow Leonydus: @LeonydusJohnson https://leonydusjohnson.com/ Leonydus Johnson's book recs: Discrimination and Disparities Thomas Sowell: Basic Economics

Why did racism and segregation against black Americans persist so long after the end of slavery? The answer is pretty shocking and disturbing, at least to me. Let's talk about it.

Racism. Police Brutality. Rioting. Looting. Media Lies. (sigh...) Here's my obligatory response.

The Weekly Man-Hug is here! In this episode, let's talk about a most unpleasant yet essential subject: Hell.

Atheists look at the universe and see vast, arbitrary, cold emptiness. I see something different. Here's why.
