This week, we spend a lot of time discussing the spiritual lessons to be learned from Traitors. Also, we talk about heavily paraphrased Bible verses and Joe has had a near-death experience in the toilet.

Episode 349: One of our least worst episodes
Joe is not very well this week. So here's just a little something to keep you going: an edited excerpt from an episode done many years ago on Nick's book The Badly Behaved Bible. As Nick says, it's not so much a 'greatest hit' as one of our least worst efforts. We talk about the inspiration of scripture and how many of our problems with the Bible are not with the book itself, so much as the things people say about it.

Episode 347: Happy birthdays and hard questions
It's our ninth anniversary! So, for a nice, relaxed, party-like topic we talk about Israel. Why is it that so many Christians support modern Israel so strongly? How can we respond when there is so much violence and hatred on all sides? Where is the Kingdom of God in all this? Also Nick has discovered some scriptural golf balls and Joe has been rewriting the Bible. Again.

In a packed feedback episode, we consider time, baptism, re-writing scripture, the omniscience of God and the problem of evil. Among other things. Also Nick has his nerd buttons pressed, and Joe has a new heretical disorder.

A podcast for every Christian who has ever asked ‘Is that it?’
Mid-faith Crisis explores the Christian faith with honesty and humour. If you feel that you have more questions than answers, if you feel as though your faith is changing, if you feel that if the worship leader sings that chorus one more time you will strangle him with his own guitar strap, then this is the podcast for you. Warning. Contains traces of theology and occasional innuendo.
