BONUS! Comedian Pete Holmes reveals why he became obsessed with hell and how the idea of eternal punishment forced him to question the version of Christianity he had inherited.

Pete also shares his unforgettable Harry Potter analogy for why searching for physical evidence of God may be completely missing the point.

18 June 2026, 7:00 am - 45 minutes 3 secondsThe Collapse of Christianity by David Bentley Hart (BONUS!)
Philosopher and theologian David Bentley Hart explains why Christianity must abandon political power, cultural domination and the mythology of “Christian civilization” to rediscover the radical compassion of Christ. He challenges common interpretations of Paul, faith and salvation before exploring Christology, divine manifestation and what it truly means to say that God became human. They also dive into Lewis Carroll’s spiritual absurdity, the childhood genius of Alice in Wonderland and the revolutionary filmmaking of Orson Welles.

14 June 2026, 3:52 pm - 1 hour 4 minutesLet's Go To Hell w/ David Bentley Hart
A deep dive into hell, God, suffering, scripture, and why so many modern ideas about Christianity may be based on bad translation, bad theology, and political power. Philosopher and theologian David Bentley Hart challenges the idea of eternal damnation, explores universal salvation, and reframes God not as an angry ruler in the sky, but as infinite love, consciousness, beauty, and being itself. Why does evil exist? What do we do with innocent suffering? And can faith survive when our image of God has to be torn apart?

11 June 2026, 10:56 am - 51 minutes 31 secondsEarth's Most Misunderstood Countries (w/ Drew Binsky)
Drew Binsky has visited every country in the world, but what did all that travel actually teach him about people, fear, poverty, faith, and the soul? We dig into Haiti, Iran, Afghanistan, China, the countries Americans ignore, and the surprising truth that people everywhere want the same basic things: love, family, safety, dignity, and connection. This is a conversation about misunderstood cultures, global suffering, spiritual universals, and why seeing the world up close may be the best antidote to fear.
