TitlePub. DateDuration
French Friday: The Nazi Rot on the Right07 Nov 202501:01:04

Open Nazi rhetoric is gaining traction on the right, and the response from conservative institutions has been inconsistent at best. Skye and David trace the roots of the problem, the incentives that fueled it, and the late-breaking backlash that may signal a tipping point. They also look at ICE's increasingly aggressive "Kavanaugh stops," the risks of expanding executive power, and why election integrity could be threatened when extremism and state authority begin to reinforce each other.

Liberalism31 Oct 202500:35:01

Skye and Kaitlyn talk Liberalism, a political philosophy that's shaped our world—but the word has become totally conflated with whatever is considered "left-wing." What is liberalism, why was it instrumental in constructing the American Experiment, and why does Skye seem so much more positive about it than Kaitlyn is?

French Friday: It's Time to Amend the Constitution29 Aug 202501:04:55

An amendment to the Constitution has not been ratified since 1992, and with the political corruption and chaos of recent years, some believe we are overdue. Skye Jethani talks with David French about what's broken within the American government, why our political parties are unlikely to fix it, and why the survival of the republic might depend on a spiritual awakening among evangelicals.

French Friday: The Gaines, Gaza, and "The Bear"01 Aug 202501:06:16

Some Christians are calling for Chip and Joanna Gaines to be cancelled because their new HBO home improvement show features a married same-sex couple. David French and Skye Jethani discuss whether it's really a principled stand for traditional Christian values, or a target of opportunity for online trolls. Scenes of starvation in Gaza are provoking international outrage, and even Israeli human rights organizations are now calling the situation a "genocide." As Israel's most important ally, what is America's responsibility? And season 4 of "The Bear" includes powerful themes of repentance and redemption.

Air Mail25 Jul 202500:28:39

In this highly theological edition of The SkyePod, Skye answers questions about free will, Heaven, and hearing the voice of God. What red flags should we look for to see if we are hearing the Holy Spirit or just ourselves? Will we have free will in Heaven? And why would Skye choose the Star Wars prequel trilogy over the Star Wars sequel trilogy?

 

Questions covered:

If you had to watch one Star Wars trilogy that's not the OT, would you watch the prequel trilogy or the sequel trilogy?

There has been a lot of talk lately in Christian circles about how doubts are fine. That God can handle our doubts and questions and that doubts and questions ultimately grow our faith. This is a nice change from the history of shaming doubt in the church. However, I struggle with passages in the gospels where it appears that Jesus rebukes people for not having enough faith. How do you reconcile these rebukes with the idea that God can handle our doubts and questions?

How do you read all the books you discuss in your interviews? Do you take speed reading classes, have a system to skim through them, or have people who read and summarize them for you? I've always been a reader, and I can read faster than the average person, but there's no way I could talk about all the books you discuss. How do you do that?

I have a friend who in the last few years started reading early church fathers (ie.Augustine, Aquinas, Ignatius). After being raised in a good Christian family his entire life, he now believes the only way to follow God is to convert to Roman Catholicism. Can you help me understand this leap?

If the ability to sin is what makes obedience valuable (we are not robots who have to obey), why doesn't that follow through to heaven/new earth? If there is no sin there, does the inability to sin cheapen our obedience/love? Or will we have the ability, but won't choose it? Does competition that comes from sports belong in New Creation?

How do you know whether the voice in your head is the Holy Spirit or your own mind?

French Friday: Spiritual Warfare & Political Violence27 Jun 202501:01:46

A tragic political assassination in Minnesota has raised new alarms about the radicalization happening inside certain corners of American Christianity. David French and Skye Jethani discuss the rise of spiritual warfare language within independent Pentecostal and charismatic movements, and how this language is spilling over into mainstream evangelicalism. Then, they turn to a major Supreme Court case that could reshape how pornography is accessed online. Should adults be required to verify their identity to view explicit content and does the state have a responsibility to protect children from online harm?

French Friday: Open Corruption & Religious Public Schools30 May 202501:06:06

Since taking office in January, Trump's net worth has increased by nearly $3 billion thanks to his family-branded cryptocurrencies being purchased by foreign governments and businesses. He accepted a Boeing 747 as a "gift" from the government of Qatar, and has issued pardons to people who paid $1 million to attend a fundraiser dinner. David French explains why the Constitution's prohibition against foreign gifts is being ignored, and why Trump's shameless corruption has been met with silence by journalists and politicians.  French and Skye Jethani also discuss why Trump's evangelical supporters don't care about his corruption, and how celebrity pastors and the Prosperity Gospel prepared them to accept the President's behavior as acceptable. Then, they discuss the case before the Supreme Court seeking to allow religious charter schools to receive public funding. French and Jethani examine the pros and cons of school choice and why Christians may want to reconsider accepting tax dollars for religious education.

French Friday: Fear the World vs. Love your Neighbor25 Apr 202501:01:11

David French says there are two kinds of churches: love-your-neighbor churches and fear-the-world churches. Using these categories, Skye Jethani and David French look at two stories in the news. First, a controversial article about the crucifixion in Christianity Today has some people losing their minds, but does it really justify the outrage? And the legacy of Pope Francis is seen very differently by those who believe the church must defend itself against the threats of secularism, and those who think the church needs to extend more mercy to those on the margins. They also look at recent rulings by the Supreme Court against the Trump administration, and why a real Constitutional crisis is becoming more likely than ever.

Top Trump officials are embroiled in a scandal after they accidentally included a journalist on an insecure text thread containing top secret military information. David French, a former military lawyer, explains why this is a no laughing matter, what it says about the administration's competency, and why there is unlikely to be any consequences for those at fault. Then, Skye and David discuss the future of the Democratic Party. Can they distance themselves from their fringe activists groups? What will it take for working-class Americans to reconsider their allegiance to Trump? And will they use this opportunity to genuinely reform the party, or just wait for MAGA to implode?

Skye believes in aliens, fancy razors for bald heads, and a Jesus that makes us uncomfortable in this episode of the mailbag. How can Christians disagree if the Holy Spirit indwells and guides us?
