Two Pastors in a Pub – Details, episodes & analysis

What is wrong with women? Why does the church give women such a hard time? Do they think women are stupid or sinful? Why are all the leaders men?

Special guest Caz McCrone joins Matt Frost in the pub for this crunchy subject. They wrestle with this big question. Exploring if the church is misogynistic (women-hating) or is it just becoming feminist and woke because Western culture says it should. How did Jesus relate to women?

Back in the pub with more weird drinks for this fascinating and entertaining discussion.

Matt & Tom are discussing this hot topic at the Ship Inn in Brimscombe.
Do animals have souls? Will Matt's dog Elsie be in heaven (or hell)? What should be our attitudes to animals and nature? Does God want me to be vegetarian? Are animals there to be used by humans?
Top-class canine, philosophical and theological debate - including some weird drinks and a passing French Bulldog.

Tom, Karen & Matt are back in the pub (well, sort of) with some weird drinks - to ask what may seem to be an obvious question. Isn't it obvious that Christianity is a religion, along with the other big religions in the world? So why ask the question?
So, what is a religion in the first place? Are there things about Christianity that make it different to other religions, faiths or philosophies? Would every religion say that theirs is unique and special?
Take a listen as they wrestle with this question, and as is often the case on this podcast, come to a rather nuanced answer.

Are humans alone in the universe? Is there life on other planets? Did God create humans as unique? Do we share the universe? Has there been contact between aliens and humans? Are ETs found in the bible?
All this and more is explored by Matt, Tom & Karen in the 'pub' with some weird drinks. Looking at science, popular culture, personal experiences and the Bible - this will be an interesting listen for a believer and a sceptic.

Religion is full of rules, right? Do this, don't do that. Being 'spiritual' has become increasingly popular in the Western world - and being religious has greatly decreased. Can you be spiritual without being religious? Isn't it better to focus on the things of the spiritual world and less on rules, dogma and religious organisations like the church?

Tom, Karen & Matt are back in the pub to explore this. With special attention paid to what has been know as the New Age Movement. What is it? Where does it come from? And is it better than organised religion?
Join us for 40 minutes of informed chat and 3 very weird drinks.

Possessions, money, houses, cars, hobbies, clothes - what should we do with it all? Is it good to collect for ourselves and our families? Or should I sell everything except the essentials for the sake of the poor and the planet? Surely Jesus wasn't interested in money and stuff? He didn't own a house or a horse - so shouldn't we follow in his footsteps?
Inspired by a listener's question about his collection of Marvel action figures - Tom, Matt & Karen are back in the Plough Inn wrestling with their stuff. Joined of course by this month's collection of weird drinks.

Is the culture we live in good for us? Is it evil and corrupt? Is it creative and life-giving? Music, films, books, TV, games, ideas, conversations, art, sport.... all of this makes up our culture. How should we approach it? Does God have any interest in culture? Is culture now better than culture in the past - or is the opposite true? 
Tom Wharin, Matt Frost & Karen Simson are back in the Plough Inn, with some very weird drinks, wrestling with this question from one of our listeners.

Do spirits exist? Is it possible to be influenced or controlled by them? Are films like The Exorcist or Ghostbusters based on truth? Is it all just out-of-date fantastical thinking and rational modern people shouldn't even be thinking about these things? What about the stories from Jesus' life that describe him delivering people from evil spirits?
Tom, Matt & Karen are back in The Plough Inn (with some much-improved recording equipment) to wrestle with this tricky subject. Accompanied, as usual, by some very weird drinks.

Why might God be interested in who I marry? Isn't love the only thing that matters? Why does the bible talk about sex and marriage? Does it need to be a man & a woman?
Tom Wharin, Matt Frost & Karen Simson are back in a new pub to explore this fascinating and controversial subject. Talking about science, sociology, the bible and relationships Tom & Matt walk through this conversation  - helped by some weird drinks.

Is it right for someone with strong religious views to hold public office in a modern society? Will they just try to impose their views on others? Should everyone in politics have neutral views? Would it be better if all those in power were atheists?
Tom, Matt & Karen are back - in a new pub - to consider this question. Inspired by recent stories in the news they wrestle with the "mucky business" of politics & religion!
