The dynamic duo dives into the headlines for this episode, breaking down Richard Dawkins's viral interview and exploring the question of one of the culture's most forceful atheists identifying as a cultural Christian, and even going so far as to call it "fundamentally decent religion." What's up with that? Is this the weirdest timeline?
The guys discuss the impact of Christian art, even in the hearts of unbelievers, whether this even matters if they don't become Christians, and both the pros and cons of so-called "cultural Christianity."

Logan and Tyler bring their experience as Bible teachers to this episode of the show, and talk about how the same instincts that make us lovers of stories can make us more effective at sharing the gospel.

Do the stories of Homer, Virgil, and others which tell stories of gods and goddesses glorify idols? Should Christians dive into these stories, knowing that they were inspired by false gods? Why did early Christians like Justin Martyr and Augustine of Hippo find value in them? Listen to find out!
