Our show focuses around our favorite fandoms that we discuss from a Christian perspective. We do not try to put Jesus into all our favorite stories, but rather we try to ask the questions the IPs are asking, then addressing those questions from our perspective. We are not all ordained, but we are the Priests to the Geeks, in the sense that we try to serve as mediators between the cultures around our favorite fandoms and our faith communities.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, Whole Church and Systematic Geekology fans! Joshua Noel is joined by Nick Polk to discuss how Substack might take the place of Twitter and can help us get out of our echo chambers. They also discuss both of their substacks - Tolkien Pop and The Kingdom Key - and they geek out about Christmas some and talk about where to get Nick's new book, "Tolkien and Pop Culture: Vol 1"!

.

What is Substack used for? Is Substack free to use? How is Substack different from a blog? Can you read Substack for free? Why is Substack popular? How many books did J.R.R. Tolkien write about Middle-earth? Why is Tolkien so famous? Why did Tolkien write The Lord of the Rings? Why is Tolkien called the father of fantasy? What is the main story of Kingdom Hearts? What was the inspiration for Kingdom Hearts? What is the message of Kingdom Hearts? What does Kingdom Hearts teach us? Why is it called Christmas? What really matters about the Christmas story?

.

In this episode, we will:

• Discuss Nick Polk's book
• Deconstruct the nature and benefits of Substack
• Explore the merits of fantasy and gaming
• Hang out with Christmas fun!

.

For a Christmas Eve special, Rev Justin Coleman and Andy Walsh PhD discuss what variable about Jesus could change in different universes and which aspects of Jesus would have to be the same in every universe! Is our Christmas story the only one and is it good enough for all creation across all universes? Or, is there a different Christmas story in every universe?!

.

Does a multiverse exist? Can we go to the multiverse? What is the meaning of multiverse? What are the natures of Jesus? Can God change? What is process theology? Is a multiverse necessary for an infinitely good God to continue to do infinite good actions? Could Jesus be a dinosaur? Could Jesus atone for creation in different ways across different universes? What if sin never occurred? What if Jesus never had any disciples? We discuss all this and more in this one! Join in the conversation with us on Discord now!
