Episode 17 - Why Are You (Still) Gay - Part II of Martin Sedra with Justin
Friday, August 29, 2025 • Duration 01:14:27
In Part II of Why Are You Gay?, Andrew and guest Justin Bullis speed-run through the rest of Martin Sedra’s unhinged sermon on “biblical masculinity.” From bizarre claims about pronouns and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, to mocking trans people under the guise of “love,” Sedra’s message spirals into projection, fearmongering, and culture war cosplay. Along the way, Andrew and Justin unpack everything from Martin’s bootstraps theology to his laughable takes on nail polish, video games, and “house meetings.” And it all culminates in Sedra’s disturbing, manipulative performance of “washing his wife’s feet” after berating her into submission. This episode is a raw, unfiltered look at how pastors weaponize faith to normalize fear, control, and abuse—all while hiding behind the language of love.

Episode 16 - Why Are You Gay? - Breaking Down Martin Sedra - with Justin
Thursday, August 14, 2025 • Duration 01:13:24
In this episode, we dive headfirst into the tangled mess of Martin Sedra’s sermon on “biblical masculinity” — and it’s every bit as bad as it sounds. From mocking trans people, to confusing sexual orientation with gender identity, to cherry-picking scripture only when it suits him, Martin builds his argument on fear, outdated social norms, and a deep misunderstanding of the modern world.
It’s the weaponization of faith in action, and by the end, you’ll understand exactly why I call him a bad pastor and a worse person.

Thursday, July 31, 2025 • Duration 01:14:08
We pick up where we left off last week, only this time Andrew has the correct microphone selected, and somehow Josh and Glenn are even worse. Stephanie rolls her eyes, Andrew yells, and Josh doesn't know the difference between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

Episode 13 - Mark Driscoll and Current Events
Thursday, July 3, 2025 • Duration 50:15
Well thanks to everything being completely insane, this week's episode is already very untimeley, but hopefully still interesting.

Thursday, May 22, 2025 • Duration 01:04:17
Andrew decided that he needed a big drag down from vacation, so he opted to tear apart Mark Driscoll affirming a stupid Q&A Charlie Kirk performed on the campus of Washington State. This went as well as you could expect.
