I find The Holy Post to be at its best when you challenge the assumptions of modern American evangelicalism. It is lifegiving when you remind and/or teach us that there is 2000 years’ worth of a rich vibrant history of worldwide Christianity, and that there is more to the faith than a literal reading of a phrase in an English translation of the Bible. And frankly, discussions of the intersection of religion and politics and modern American culture is when I personally find you all to be the most engaged and engaging. Ham on Phil was a great episode - it freed me from a weight of bad teaching about taking the entire Bible literally (which was not what I was taught growing up, but was guilted onto me in adulthood). Kristen Kobes DuMez and Beth Allison Barr are both amazing people that you should invite to be recurring guests as often as possible. Their historical perspectives have been so enlightening and helpful! I’m thrilled that you finally had Beth Moore as a guest. Phil’s videos on Race in America are so helpful. The discussions of abortion used to be more helpful, lately I feel that you’ve lost your way a bit. I enjoyed both Derwin Gray and Theon Hill, might we get some women of color to bring their perspectives? I started listening to David French’s Advisory Opinions podcast because of THP, but lately I have soured on his privileged take on things. I feel like if French Fridays are going to continue, someone ought to be part of the discussions who will actually challenge him on his assumptions; the last few episodes have felt more like a good ol’ boys club than a real discussion. Still, he’s part of THP that you might want to highlight.

I really enjoyed the episode on the history of Church and Evolution. I think what really resonated with me was the description of Christians who are tempted to feel less than because we don't hold to literal/conservative views of the creation story, or feel like they have to leave the faith because they're shown as irreconcilable.
