282. Rick Warren's Evolving Stance On Women: SBC Vs Saddleback Church
We talk about the Bible verses that changed Rick Warren's mind about women in church leadership positions as well as the feud between him and the Souther Baptist Convention. What happens when you let your wife produce the podcast and you threaten to fire her during the show? Absolute chaos! In this episode, we're joined by special guest producer Lyndsey to break down everything from the marital magic of "chore play" and listener voicemails, to Rick Warren and the Southern Baptist Conventions split over women in church leadership, and why rigid church cultures struggle with nuance. Plus, we take a detour through ancient text interpretations, first-century euphemisms, and what it really feels like to step into a brand new church community after a decade of leading the old one. 00:00 - Meet the Producer: Lyndsey Joins the Show 03:00 - Chore Play: The Secret to Romance? 10:15 - Questions with Quaid & Catching Up with Scott 17:30 - The SBC vs. Saddleback: Rick Warren and Women in Leadership 37:00 - First Vagilonians and Linguistic Rabbit Holes 51:00 - The Brittleness of Deconstruction and Church Transitions 1:05:00 - Spotting Cult Tactics and Managing Nuance SUBSCRIBE & SHARE us this week!Contact Us: brosbiblesbeer@gmail.com Leave Us A VoicemailYouTubeSimpleCastSpotifyApple PodcastsXInstaWe Should Know Better is: Zack Krater & Andy McCraw Find us wherever fine podcasts are distributed.

281. Texas Mandates Bible Reading & Cursing In Jesus Name
In this episode of We Should Know Better, the guys dive headfirst into a hilariously chaotic mix of viral street culture, heavy theological head-scratchers, and unsolicited physical observations. Zack and Andy break down a bizarre viral video of a street preacher casting quite the extreme "biblical" curse on a dancing Jesus impersonator. They then pivot into a raw, honest conversation about their own insecurities—from Zack’s legendary "missing link" brow ridge to Andy’s sudden realization that his bladder is working overtime. Later, they tackle the mental shift of unexpected inheritance money, debate the controversial new Texas law mandating Bible reading in public schools, and pull up the receipts on Genesis 9 to figure out exactly what happened when Noah got a little too drunk in his tent. Finally, they question whether a lack of modern creativity means the global simulation is simply running out of memory. Pull up a chair, crack a cold IPA, and remember: we should probably know better. 00:00 – Warm Beers & Setting the Curls Free 02:30 – Zack’s "Missing Link" Sun Visor Ridge 05:00 – Testing the South Pacific IPA 08:45 – Reacting to the Street Preacher vs. Dancing Jesus Video 11:45 – Cursing People with Cancer in Jesus’ Name? 13:15 – Our General Disposition on Street Preachers 19:30 – Pouring One Out for LeBron’s Lakers Era (and Melting Hair) 23:00 – Jordan Peterson as Kermit and Miss Piggy 25:40 – The Smell of Sound Dampening Material 27:00 – What Would You Do With a Surprise $50,000? 34:30 – Non-Profits, Free Trips to Hawaii, and Financial Awkwardness 46:30 – Texas Mandates Bible Reading in Public Schools 53:00 – Balancing Faith Integration vs. State Coercion 59:00 – Fact-Checking Genesis: When Noah Got Drunk & Naked 01:05:00 – Did the Flood Actually Fail to Stop Violence? 01:21:00 – Knowing the Heart of God Through Jesus 01:24:00 – Simulation Theory: Did the World Run Out of Memory in the 90s? 01:27:00 – Giving Power to the State Always Bites Back SUBSCRIBE & SHARE us this week!Contact Us: brosbiblesbeer@gmail.com Leave Us A VoicemailYouTubeSimpleCastSpotifyApple PodcastsXInstaWe Should Know Better is: Zack Krater & Andy McCraw Find us wherever fine podcasts are distributed.

280. You Might Be A Better Parent Than God (And Other Heresies)

This leads to a discussion on the possibility that God's love and ability to save may be better than traditionally thought.

277. When Love Becomes Your Worst Enemy w/ Matthew J Distefano
In this engaging conversation, Matthew Distefano explores the profound themes of love, morality, and storytelling through the lens of video games like The Last of Us and Red Dead Redemption 2. He wrote a killer book on it called "Saints, Sinners, and Clickers: Love and Loss in The Last of Us". The discussion centers on how these narratives challenge our perceptions of morality, the power of storytelling, and the intersection of faith and culture.

277. The Holy Trinity of Christian Outrage
What happens when a simple video of leading worship sparks a viral "kerfuffle" north of a million views? This week, the guys sit down with Courtney Lancaster from the "Heal/Create" podcast to unpack the "Holy Trinity of Christian Outrage": religion, gender roles, and the deconstruction movement. Courtney shares the story behind her unexpected Instagram traction after posting a video of herself leading worship and opening up about her "faith reorganization." The conversation explores the tension of staying within a faith tradition while holding views that differ from conservative evangelical norms. Key Discussion Points: The "Mean Christian Comments" Game: Courtney and the hosts react to actual comments from her viral post, ranging from questions about women in ministry to accusations of "New Age psycho-babble." Theology of Shame vs. Trauma Recovery: A deep dive into why many were raised with the identity of "shame and depravity" (the idea that God is only good because we are bad) and how trauma-informed therapy offers a different lens on our value as "well-loved children of God." Worship Lyrics and Integrity: Courtney explains why she refuses to sing songs that rehearse a shame narrative, such as certain lyrics in "Reckless Love," arguing that a child shouldn't have to "earn" or "deserve" a parent's love. Post-Christianity and Individualism: The crew debates the concept of "post-Christianity"—stripping out parts of the faith one likes while discarding the rest—and whether this leads to a "narcissistic" echo chamber or a healthy "faith reorganization." The Future of the Church: Reflections on the closing of Mountain View Church and the hope that more "centered-set" spaces will emerge where people can wrestle with divergent ideas without being "kicked out." Information Overload: Andy and Courtney discuss how our brains aren't designed to handle the "woes of the world" delivered via 24/7 digital feeds, and the importance of "touching grass" to maintain mental health.

276. The Biblical Zombie Apocalypse
We dive into one of the strangest and most cinematic passages in the entire New Testament: the "resurrection of the saints" in Jerusalem following Jesus crucifixion. Was it a literal historical event, a metaphorical callback to Ezekiel, or something else entirely? The boys play a high-stakes round of "Zombie or Zom-bae," testing their Bible trivia on everything from Lazarus’s "smell factor" to Elisha’s miracle bones. Bros, Bibles and Beer is officially rebranding soon. We discuss the heart behind our new name—We Should Know Better—and share some heavy news regarding the closure of our church home. 00:00 - Intro: Trump Bobbleheads & Hop Secret Beer 02:34 - New Game: Zombie or Zombie! 04:00 - The 48-Hour Resurrection Delay (Matthew 27) 06:10 - Lazarus & the 4-Day Cultural Proof 07:55 - Elisha’s Miracle Bones vs. Gary 10:00 - Tabitha’s Portfolio & Brisket Recipes 11:55 - Andy’s Carpool Lane Confession 15:00 - The Theology of "Celestial Zombies" 21:20 - Midrash: Was it a Literal Zombie Army? 27:00 - The "Revealed" Veil: A New Perspective on Access 31:00 - Oral Tradition: 9/11 and the Megaphone Theory 43:00 - Is the Bible "Perfect"?

Biblical Israel Is Not Today's Israel
In this heated and deeply personal episode of Bros Bibles & Beer, Andy McCraw, Zack Krater, and "professional Christian" guest Carey Robinson deconstruct the modern evangelical obsession with defending the modern State of Israel at all costs. The crew kicks things off with a high-stakes game of "Rapture, Barely Even Know Her" forcing the hosts to choose between being a "Beamer" (pre-tribulation escapee) or "Last Man Standing" (tribulation survivor). The conversation turns provocative as they challenge the "ironclad truth" of Dispensationalism—a 19th-century theological framework they argue has been used to manipulate the American church into blind support for the modern State of Israel. From Netanyahu and Epstein files to the "uniparty" and toxic empathy, no cultural third rail is left untouched. Are we following the Prince of Peace or just political operatives in pulpits? Grab a beverage of choice and join us for a dive into biblical prophecy, Christian Zionism, and why spiritual maturity often looks a lot like deconstruction.
