Faith Adjacent: Daily Summaries Delivered
by The Popcast Media Group
Conversations involving faith are often fraught with scholarly nerd alerts about ancient linguistics and inaccessible theological discussions centered around hermeneutics. But what if there was a way to use your pop culture literacy to enhance your biblical literacy? Welcome to Faith Adjacent, the podcast where we try to understand the modern dynamics of faith through a combined commitment to uncomfortable honesty, authentic weirdness, and critical thinking. Faith Adjacent is hosted by Knox McCoy and Jamie Golden of The Popcast along with Resident Bible Scholar Erin Moon.

Favored or Forsaken: Ted Lasso, Interior Design, and Pastors as Politicians
In this month's Favored or Forsaken, Evan, Jamie, and Knox are asking the important questions: Should Jesus influence your interior design? Should more pastors run for political office? And why are we all watching Ted Lasso again? Plus, we brainstorm industries that Christians should co-opt as well as profiles for who would make ideal political candidates. As a company, we will make a donation in memory of Erin’s mom, Gwen Hicks, to the foster-care nonprofit she founded, Amarillo Angels. If you would like to join us in honoring her remarkable legacy, head to AmarilloAngels.org to donate in memory of Gwen Hicks with (Faith Adjacent) in parentheses.MENTIONSWhat Would Jesus Design?
