Hey, we’re Adam and Aaron, and we have a simple belief: faith should be rooted in truth, not tradition. On this show, we question everything—doctrines, traditions, cultural expectations, and religious dogma—not to dismantle Christianity, but to restore it to its biblical and historical essence. Whether you’re wrestling with doubt, deconstructing your beliefs, or just longing for some intellectual honesty, The Christian Skeptic is a space for real conversations about what it truly means to follow Jesus. New episodes drop every Tuesday wherever you get your podcasts. Follow along and be part of the conversation at thechristianskeptic.org.Copyright © 2025 The Christian Skeptic.

  • Can You Follow Jesus Without Believing in Him? What Rhett & Rainn Get Wrong About Christianity

    Can You Follow Jesus Without Believing in Him? What Rhett & Rainn Get Wrong About Christianity
    Aug 5 2025
    This week, we respond to a clip from Soul Boom with Rhett McLaughlin and Rainn Wilson. We unpack the allure of a “just-the-teachings” Jesus, why it falls apart under scrutiny, and why you can’t separate the words of Jesus from the person of Jesus. We explore the intellectual and theological inconsistency of cherry-picking Jesus’ words while ignoring the radical, exclusive claims he made about himself. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:13) – Rhett & Rainn’s take on Jesus (03:38) – The appeal of a softer faith (05:13) – Can you follow Jesus without belief? (07:33) – What Jesus actually said (10:13) – Liar, lunatic, or Lord? (12:23) – When smart people say absurd things (14:13) – Does it matter if Jesus was real? (16:58) – Belief vs. bias (18:38) – The red-letter remix (21:13) – No resurrection, no Christianity (23:43) – Just a teacher? (26:03) – The prophecies they can’t explain away (27:43) – The new crutch: soft Jesus (29:13) – Why it matters what Jesus said about himself (31:13) – The question everyone must answer Get full show notes and links at https://www.thechristianskeptic.org.

  • What if I don't "feel" like a Christian?

    What if I don't "feel" like a Christian?
    Jul 22 2025
    This week, we discuss a recent clip from John Piper, and explore the role of emotion in the Christian life. Is constant emotional intensity the measure of genuine belief? What about the seasons of doubt or dryness many believers experience? We also discuss confessional Christianity, the limits of emotionalism, and the freedom that comes not from emotion, but from the unchanging truth of the gospel. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:52) - John Piper on AI and worship (04:47) - When you don’t “feel” like a Christian (06:17) - The hidden pressure of emotional Christianity (10:44) - The danger of undefined emotional expectations (13:10) - Manufactured vs. suppressed emotions in faith (19:08) - Adopted, secure, and kept forever (21:23) - Grace awakens feeling, not the other way around Get full show notes and links at https://www.thechristianskeptic.org.
