    "ight, bet." -everyone from history ever.
  • Honestly it may sound dumb but wendi is the reason I started to really look into Christianity and give it a whole hearted chance. And honestly. My life has been a lot better since. Thank you God for sending your follower Isaiah to put me on the right path

    I think what makes this podcast great is the different perspectives that you guys bring to each topic. One with a more history/academia based perspective and one with a more religious/theological perspective. It's really cool to see how those perspectives play off each other as well as how they tend to align with each other almost perfectly. Really looking forward to more of this podcast in the future! Also, I think it would be really cool to see people who are experts in certain aspects of biblical history/theology brought on as guests in future episodes.
  • You've gotta do VeggieTales. Thanks for making the Bible fun again.✌️🤙

    Praise the Lord! The depth of God's Word is incredible and it's nice to hear other people analyzing it in a grounded way. Thanks for these videos guys, really good information.

    I've always considered myself as agnostic atheist even though I grew up in the south and my family is very religious, but I've always been interested in the stories in the bibles as I find them entertaining and always wanted to hear a bit more of the weirder stories within the bible. Glad I found this podcast through wendigoon's most recent livestreams of him playing zombies with youtubers

    The Firey Furnace still exists, and is still burning. The Babylonians didn't need to build it, as it is a natural phenomenon. There is a place near Kirkuk Iraq presently referred to as "The Eyes of Allah" where the oil bubbles up to the surface, mixing with sulfur and some other minerals on the way, which ignites as soon as it hits oxygen. It burns 24/7 and has for thousands of years.

    Really fascinating listening to both and it helps so much in my walk with God, will gladly watch again all episodes!

    It's middle of the night and I assumed that bible talk would finally put me to sleep (after neither The Lore Lodge or Wendigoon managed to achieve that)... instead I'm giggling manically, trying not to wake up the rest of the house 😂 Love you guys, keep it up!
  • @kylelovell121
    I love this laid back way of teaching the word it is very digestible and I thank you guys for the podcast I know what I'm about to binge on YouTube next!
  • @noxcorvum1999
    Would definitely show up for a Wendigoon Bible study. I think what you guys are doing here is great, making the Bible accessible for a new generation. ❤

    I recently discovered The Lore Lodge and have been binging that, and I've been putting this off for awhile as I'm not religious. I decided to give it a go while I worked this morning, and I really liked it! I like that it's not pushing anything on anyone, and also that it's really delving into things and looking into the why's of things. I'll be binging this one now. :)

    Duality in not arguing why you believe just having fun entertaining the ideas. Brilliant guys. 😊 Thank you all

    My take on the question of evil is this: If you do not have any bad outcomes ever--if everything is perfect--then everyone would be the same. Arguably, God is the being for Whom everything is perfect. Therefore, if everything was always perfect, then God's only companions would be identical to Himself. Would they REALLY be companions, then? Therefore, God needs humans to be susceptible to evil, so that they can be different from Him. A couple of things really hit me hard thinking of it this way: For one, this implies that Satan (whether he knows it or not) still IS a servant to God by being one of the challenges that make humans different from God. For two... God can't be misled and can't be tempted, since He is perfect by definition, so how incredible is it for Him to see those humans, who CAN be misled and CAN be tempted, turn around and say, "Y'know what? I choose God." ...I honestly have a lot of other ideas in this vein that I started typing out, but they'd be WAY too much for a YouTube comment. Love the podcast, guys!

    what a way to spread the word! incredible to see and interesting even to those who dont believe, love to see it💗✨️💖❤️
  • @pattyfranks7855
    Love hearing the how Wendigoon explains what our original states are being with God and not apart.
  • I don't believe in the Bible, but you have my curiosity piqued and I want to listen to this whole series. I will even listen to you talk about Veggie Tales.
