SkyeDive: Resuscitation vs Resurrection

Holy Post Media — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 10:00:58 GMT

Jesus raised Lazarus from the grave, but Lazarus was not transformed. He was still mortal, subject to the curse, and destined to die again. In other words, Lazarus was resuscitated; he was not truly resurrected. This message contrasts the difference between being rescued by God and being reborn, and asks whether we have accepted a lesser gospel of mere …

Drew's News: Spiritual Puberty, AI Sermons, Exorcisms, and Deconstruction

Holy Post Media — Fri, 14 Aug 2026 10:03:09 GMT

In perhaps the most faith-centric Drew’s News yet, Drew Dyck brings us the rise of A.I. sermons, the rise of exorcisms, and the delayed rise of an airplane where a woman decided to evangelize to the unenthusiastic captive audience.

French Friday: Nerdfest 2026

Holy Post Media — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 10:03:39 GMT

Guess what time it is? Once every year, David French and Skye Jethani devote an episode to movies, TV shows, and pop culture nerdery. This year’s Nerdfest focuses on Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” and David makes his case that the film is a Trojan horse filled with conservative values. They also react to the new “Avengers: Doomsday” trailer, why superhero movies aren’t working anymore, and their shared hatred of multiverses. Finally, from the non-nerd world, they discuss new data showing Gen Z is turned off to Christianity by the evangelical support for Donald Trump. What’s really behind the numbers?

French Friday: Vichy Christianity

Holy Post Media — Fri, 26 Jun 2026 10:03:00 GMT

It's a history lesson on today's French Friday. David French explains the parallels between the Vichy French government that cooperated with the Nazis in WWII and Christian nationalists in America today. Both were highly misogynistic, nativist, and blamed liberal democracy for all of the country's problems. Obviously, things did not end well for the Vichy government in France. David and Skye discuss why the authoritarianism pushed by Christian nationalists won't work in America either. They also discuss the 2026 midterm elections and what the Democrats are learning from the popularity of pugilistic candidates like Platner in Maine and the decency of candidates like Talarico in Texas.

Disclosure Day: Faith, Aliens, and Spielberg

Holy Post Media — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 10:03:07 GMT

Skye and Esau saw Disclosure Day by Steven Spielberg this weekend—did it make them believe in aliens? Maybe not, but it does show a cultural preoccupation with our place in the world.

French Friday: Jesus vs. Gerrymandering

Holy Post Media — Fri, 29 May 2026 10:02:41 GMT

The Supreme Court recently struck down a provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Bill that prevented the dilution of votes by racial minorities, unleashing red states throughout the South to redraw congressional districts before the 2026 midterm elections. The outcome is likely to be fewer Black representatives in Congress. David French and Skye Jethani discuss the issue of gerrymandering—partisan and racial—and why it is contrary to both the Constitution and the Christian call to love our neighbors. They also offer suggestions for fixing the problem in order to heal our broken politics.

Who else needs to know this? Some conversations are better with more voices in the room. Pass this along to someone who’d appreciate a thoughtful take.
