Drew, King of the North, brings his royal decrees and news from around the internet. He and Skye wonder why religious couples seem to be insulated from the sex recession. Does it all come back to smartphones? Then they talk about how AI is pushing people to find meaning and purpose outside of their vocations. And why does Skye seem less excited about Greta Gerwig's rock-infused Narnia than Drew is? All that, and Skye explains why he thinks Anthropic is a little like Uncle Buck.

Skye sifts through your questions, like panning for gold! Or, cleaning the gunk from your dishwasher, depending on your perspective. Mailman Mike's brought Skye questions about what repentance means, how we should respond to historically-questionable-sermon-illustrations, and if we take scripture-reading too seriously. Plus—what are women supposed to feel about all this talk about male circumcision in the Bible?

Questions Answered:

• What did Skye mean when he said Christians should repent of supporting Trump?
• Was Gehenna actually a trash-pit outside Jerusalem?
• How do you take the Sermon on the Mount seriously?
• Do we overemphasize scripture reading?
• Do men know how alienating discussions of circumcision are to women?
• How bad are the bears gonna be this year?

When Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, it was his most public and spectacular miracle ever. But why were most of his miracles before this marked by secrecy and subtlety instead? In this message, Skye explores the role spectacles play in our faith, why we are so drawn to them, and why they usually fail to foster a transformative, sustainable love for God.
