Today on Faith Adjacent, Resident Bible Scholar Erin Moon invites us to beam our antennas into outer space as we talk about extraterrestrials. Join us for an out of this world episode in which we navigate through the theology of C.S. Lewis, explore the Danny and Sandy of Church history, and unpack medieval celestial phenomena while asking ourselves what it would do to our faith to take it not only to the nations, but also the planets.

We?re venturing into the dark and wicked world of ancient royal politics. When Athaliah receives word that her son, the king, has been killed, she does what anyone would do and ascends the throne by murdering her entire family. Or so she thinks. This story twists and turns through secret hideaways, flash mob coronations, and surprise horses. Wickedness is everywhere, but can the line of David prevail?

This twelfth season of The Bible Binge is our Villain season, a collection of episodes focused on the biggest bads in all the Bible. This first episode is all about the Serpent, that deceptive, slithering smooth-talker whose beginning was our end. Craftier than any other beast of the field, this villain started it all, but does he simply play Devil?s advocate or is he Satan himself?

Grab some hot chocolate, snuggle up in your favorite pjs, and join us for this extra special Lil Faith Adjacent where we chat with our favorite jolly elf, Santa Claus! In this just-for-kids episode, Host Erin Moon teaches us all about Santa?s biggest inspiration, Saint Nick, and then Santa answers all of your most important questions. How old IS Santa, anyway?

Today on Faith Adjacent, join us as we walk right down Santa Claus Lane to chat about that jolly old elf: Saint Nick, Kris Kringle, Santa Claus. Santa?s origin story is a mix of cultures and traditions, some more faith adjacent than others, but are Santa and Christianity really at odds with one another? In this episode, we separate man from myth to see what a fictitious Christmas character can teach us about honoring the reason for the season. **Disclaimer: If you have little ears that do not need a podcast host telling them secret insider information, you might want to wait before you listen in front of them.**

In our season finale, we check in on 90-year-old Daniel who, once again, can?t catch a break. Darius the Mede (if that?s even his real name) has taken over the kingdom and, in the midst of the transition and turnover, a few appointed officials plot to get Daniel out. Daniel might end up in the lions' den, but everyone soon finds out that those cats aren?t the only ones with 9 lives.

Nothing will crash a night of frivolity like a disembodied hand writing cryptic words on the wall. In this episode, Daniel is called out of his 50 year retirement to do what he does best - interpret.

We?re covering a cornucopia of topics from the creation of our national holiday and the origins of green bean casserole to the real story behind the first Thanksgiving.

Welcome to Season 8 of The Bible Binge dedicated to the most cunningly courageous queen in the Bible, Esther. We asked the questions: What if there was a podcast that used pop culture literacy to enhance your biblical literacy? What if you could listen to a recap of the Bible like a recap of your favorite TV show? SNL?s Stefon would tell you that The Book of Esther has everything. It has murder, lies, intrigue, adoption, romance, a beauty pageant. It has villains, heroes, and underdogs. And it has a lot of revenge. We start to unpack all of these aspects in this first episode.

In this episode, we talk about the (in)famous story of Abraham and Issac. This saga is one of sacrifice, blind faith, and God providing, quite literally, in the nick of time.
