Proverbs can be one of the most misunderstood books of the Bible, especially when we treat its wisdom like a guarantee instead of guidance for a faithful life. Esau explains why the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, how parents and mentors can help us walk that path, and why we should be careful about whose voices are shaping us.

Heaven is often imagined as clouds, mansions, and maybe a few streets of gold, but Jesus’ promise in John 14 is far more comforting than heavenly real estate. Kaitlyn talks about what Jesus meant when he said his Father’s house has many rooms, why “mansions” may be a misunderstanding, and how the Bible’s picture of eternity is physical, communal, and full of belonging. Heaven may not include a private mansion, but may offer something much better: a place in God’s household. 0

In honor of Independence Day, Holy Post Media released a new explainer video titled “Should America Rededicate Itself to God?” The short 12-minute video featured clips of a conversation between Skye Jethani and Caleb Campbell, the pastor of Desert Springs Bible Church in Phoenix and author of “Disarming Leviathan: Loving Your Christian Nationalist Neighbor.” This episode features their full conversation, including Campbell’s journey from neo-Nazi skinhead to senior pastor, wh

Texas is adding Bible passages to its public school reading standards, continuing the endless debate over the Bible in schools. Esau, Kaitlyn, and Mike discuss why Bible literacy matters for understanding American history and why teaching the Bible while downplaying race creates a distorted picture of the country. Then, they turn to the rise of one-child families and what may be lost when fewer children grow up with siblings. Plus, why do female-led superhero movies keep stru

The United States is turning 250 this week, but the country is divided about the anniversary. Should the country celebrate or lament? Historian Robert Tracy McKenzie joins Skye to talk about the ongoing fight over how to tell America’s story, why we reject nuance, and what he saw at the Rededicate 250 event in Washington, D.C. that made him concerned. Kaitlyn offers her take on a New York Times interview with Louise Perry about rethinking the sexual revolution. Perry argues,

Why do Christian weddings include white dresses, veils, bridal showers, and bouquet tosses when none of those traditions come from the Bible? Skye and Kaitlyn explore the theology and strange history behind weddings, from ancient marriage customs and medieval church liturgies to modern wedding weekends, social media trends, and the difference between preparing for a wedding and preparing for a marriage.

What would the existence of aliens mean for the Christian story? Kaitlyn and Mike explore whether sin only affects humans, whether other planets are part of a fallen creation, and what the Bible’s big-picture story of creation and redemption might have to say about life beyond Earth. They also talk about the image of God, why intelligence is not what makes humans valuable, and why the hope of Jesus is not just personal forgiveness, but the restoration of all things. 0:00 - Th

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 Ameri

World Cup visitors are discovering America, and somehow ranch dressing, air conditioning, Walmart have become ambassadors for the nation. Esau, Mike, and Nancy French ask why outsiders may be seeing America more clearly than Americans do, and whether our perception of the country is being warped by news, social media, and political caricatures. Then they consider a new study linking return-to-office mandates with narcissistic leaders. Does liking to work in the office automat

Over the last decade, white evangelicals in the U.S. have lost their moral credibility. In response, Peter Wehner says the church should embrace a form of “Christian humanism.” The Holy Post crew discusses his article, what he gets right, and why that label may be a barrier for some. Kaitlyn interviews biblical scholar Michael Rhodes about his book,“Reimagining Biblical Politics: What Scripture Says About Public Life and Why It Matters.” Rather than looking to specific verses

Why did changing “brothers” to “brothers and sisters” in some Bibles make so many Christians upset? Kaitlyn unpacks why older translations often said “brothers,” “men,” or “mankind,” and why many newer translations now use more inclusive language. She talks about language, culture, and why it matters that every child knows God’s Word is speaking to them. 0:00 - Theme Song 0:25 - Feeling Promotional 1:57 - Why Does it Say “Brothers” in the Bible Instead of “Sisters” 5:02 - Tra

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. Would the existence of aliens change history? Would you believe aliens were telling the truth? Skye and Esau debate these issues and Esau pitches a sequel. 0:06 - Theme Song 1:15 - Disclosure Day 7:27 - Why Aliens Would Change Our View of God 13:51 - Religion Without God 25:40 - Are Aliens Demon
