Faith Adjacent
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.
