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 theo...

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with gender identity, to cherry-picking scripture only when it suits him, Martin builds his argument on fear, outdated social norms, and a deep misunderstanding of the modern world.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, an...

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.

What else can we say to describe this besides Josh McPherson was on Glenn Beck. We will discuss this interview in two parts, but this week you'll hear Josh talk about what Grace City Church did during the covid-19 pandemic.

Well thanks to everything being completely insane, this week's episode is already very untimeley, but hopefully still interesting. Stephanie and Andrew take a look at how Mark approached the politically targeted Minnesota shootings and the escalation of the Israel and Iran war by the US. Some of it goes as expected, some of it doesn't.

This week Andrew sits down with our new token pastor Steve to talk about pastors. Andrew takes Steve on his first journey through the @pastorswithprops_ instagram account, and they talk about how silly not just the props are, but the shallowness of the illustrations.

This week we wanted to take the chance to share a little more about who we are, where we came from, and why we do this. Sure, making of weirdos saying idiotic things is fun, but the mission is serious and sincere.

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.

This episode certainly wasn't Stephanie's idea. Join us as we listen to a pre-2012 election episode of Dobson's radio show, as they definitely don't endorse anyone by name, absoluetly not.

This week we listen to Mark Driscoll speak about "11 Forbidden Sex Acts", but Andrew tells you how you can get around these pesky rules (spoiler: be rich and powerful and fit Mark's weirdo worldview).
Stephanie gets triggered, as per usual... and Andrew actually gave up on the rest of the sermon.

Join us as we begin "Unpacking" some of the more influential and wild Evangelical Pastors, starting this week with Josh McPherson of Grace City Church near Stephanie in Wenatchee, Washington. He was kind enough to go to our main subject's church and deliver the first sermon of their savior's second term as president.
