Skiing is fun. Apparently. (And so is pretending we didn’t ghost you for six months.)

Episode 128 is a pure catch-up chaos special: Jesse, Jen, and Evan reconvene to explain where the heck they’ve been, why the show went dark, and what it might look like to keep this thing alive from afar.

We dig into:

• The “we’ve been busy” recap (translation: life exploded)
• Evan being “back”… but also not back… but also kind of back
• The plan: try this again for ~6 months, likely one episode a month, while figuring out remote recording logistics
• Grassroots updates: new building, Craig as part-time pastor, plus others speaking
• A quick Lone Canary plug: new album Dime Store Horses, vinyl, and a potential CO/NM/(maybe) Dakotas tour route
• Evan’s update: now lead pastor at Morning Star Friends Church (Quaker), adapting “missional community” thinking in a more conservative, wealthy suburban context
• And the big teaser: Evan is writing a book tentatively titled Igniting Suburbia about missional life in the suburbs

Then, because it’s us, we debate whether “AF” is still cool and brainstorm renaming the show into something extremely unserious.

So crack open an NA beer, throw a ketchup pun at your friends, and tell us what topics you actually want—because if y’all don’t interact, Jen threatened to quit again.

It’s the end of Christian AF… for now. And possibly the most on-brand way to wrap it all up.

After years of beers, Bible hot takes, snarky one-liners, and genuinely vulnerable faith convos, Jesse, Jen, and Evan sit down one last time (for now) to say goodbye. Or at least… hit pause.

We talk about:

• Why we started this thing in the first place
• What we learned from showing up (even when we didn’t want to)
• The beauty and chaos of faith that doesn’t have all the answers
• And what might come next (spoiler: who knows?)

There’s also a brief return to Evan’s “burn it all down” phase, a wholesome moment with the words of listeners, and—naturally—shots poured out for heresies past.

This isn’t a sad farewell. It’s a hell yes, we did that moment.

So grab a drink. Raise a glass. And thank you for listening. We couldn’t have done it without you.

🍻 EPISODE DRINKING NOTES:

JEFFERSON’S RESERVE – Twin Oak Custom Barrel
45.1% ABV (90.2 Proof) | Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Aged in wave-staved, double-barreled oak for peak drama.
Smooth, bold, and perfectly overthought—just like this final episode.

So… why are we obsessed with the end of the world?

In Part 2 of our chaotic theological therapy session with Jeff Swanson, the Christian AF crew gets personal, philosophical, and—let’s be honest—maybe a little punch-drunk from talking about dispensationalism for 4+ hours.

We dig into:

• Why certainty might be the biggest enemy of faith
• The toxic fallout of end-times obsession
• Why shame ≠ conviction (yes, there’s a difference)
• How to unlearn bad theology without losing your mind

Also, there’s talk of duck butter, mini horses, and why John MacArthur may or may not still be alive at the time of this recording. (RIP, just in case.)

🎶 And hey, The Lone Canary is dropping a new album! Help fund it PLEASE!
👉 Help fund Dime Store Horses on Kickstarter

So crack open a beer, toss your Scofield Study Bible in the fire, and embrace the mystery.

🍻 EPISODE DRINKING NOTES:

PRAIRIE STREET BREWING CO – Oatmeal Stout
Rockford, IL
Stout | Smooth & rich | River-adjacent? Possibly.

STARBUCKS – Blonde Roast
Probably Jeff's safe space
Highly caffeinated clarity in a cup

GUINNESS – Extra Stout
Ireland (obviously)
Dark. Classic. Never goes out of style.

DR. PEPPER – Drive-Thru Edition
Burger King
Pairs well with disappointment and missing burger patties.
