AK47 Season 2 Episode 38: A Commentary on Nacho Libre. . . But Not Really

 Aaron and Kyle get together to do their very first film commentary.  We watch Nacho Libre and talk about it. . . Though we mostly end up talking about politics, American history, ministry, and related topics.  After the movie is over, we continue talking about church involvement in the lives of its single congregants.  We encourage you to watch the movie with us during the course of the episode, but you don't have to in order to understand or benefit from our conversation!

Tripp Parker (M.A. in philosophy from Duke) joins Kyle to continue going through Jay Beecher's tweet thread claiming that the Bible is based on pagan myths, it's full of errors, the biblical canon was decided at the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D., and much more.

The AK47 Podcast Season 1: Episode 41

Aaron and I are going to focus on less politically, socially, and philosophically heavy things in the rest of the episodes this year.  It's break time, so we want to take it easy.  That doesn't mean those topics won't come out of our mouths though.

Aaron and I are all over the place in this episode.  We talk about the Aquaman movie, which Aaron recently watched, superhero movies in general, the Gospel, some apologetics, our thoughts on Ben Shapiro's interview with John MacArthur, stuff about the spiritual vs. the psychological, and more.

The AK47 Podcast Season 1: Episode 39

Aaron's Description of the Episode

Brian Godawa came back (I know...we're just as baffled by our repeat guests as everyone else is, but bafflement and gratitude are not only not mutually exclusive but complementary) and we talk about eschatology, dispensationalism, the awesomeness of the Bible, but most importantly for present purposes his latest series of books! The Chronicles of the Apocalypse tells a tale of epic proportions concerning the destruction of the temple in AD 70, the monstrous Nero, the persecution of the fledgling Christ followers, and the true battles going on in the heavenly realms that effect our world to this day. Go buy these books as Christmas presents and maybe Godawa will return (or strike back) on our humble pod some day! But seriously go buy his stuff. He's a good dude who writes good stuff: amzn.to/2RBxmVz 

We're getting pretty desperate to find ways to meet our last 8 episodes so after this one the quality will be going down significantly (merry Christmas). Aaron may even do a couple episodes where he just reads old articles and does some commentary on them. This will be a sad attempt to straighten out some of the more complicated ideas for his alleged book project (cough, everybody needs dreams, cough).
