Skeptics & Saints

Do angels still show up, or is that just Bible-era mythology? 👀🕊️
In this no-filter episode of Skeptics & Saints, we go straight into the deep end, angels, demons, spiritual warfare, exorcism, dreams, money, mission, and why the supernatural seems way more active on the front lines of faith than in comfortable Christianity.

From prison doors flung open in Acts, to Jesus appearing in Muslim dreams, to why Satan cares a lot about your wallet 💸, this conversation challenges the idea that faith is meant to be safe, tame, or private. We ask hard questions, tell wild stories, and argue that God’s power shows up where God’s mission is embraced.

Have you ever wondered what God's 10 year plan is for you? The 2016 trend was nostalgic for a lot of people. It got Nolan and Lindsey thinking about the last ten years--how they got into ministry and what He has done in and through their lives. In this episode they explore the crazy story that God through their lives and how you can find your own purpose and calling. Lean in, grab a coffee, and consider what God can do in and through you.

What if the Church isn’t a social club, but a dangerous place where heaven breaks into earth? ⚡️🏛️

In this episode, we dive headfirst into Acts 5 and the unsettling story of Ananias and Sapphira to uncover three truths about the Holy Spirit: God’s presence is personal, powerful, and it now lives in His people. Why did God judge so suddenly? Why doesn’t He still? And what does deception have to do with death?

From Eden to the Temple to you, this episode reframes the Church as the new dwelling place of God, not metaphorically, but actually. When God’s presence moves in, things change. Fear awakens. Healing erupts. The Church expands.

Is the Bible actually full of contradictions… or are we just bad readers? 🤔📖

From Judas’ death to faith vs. works, angels at the tomb, and Jesus’ words about His return, critics love to say Scripture doesn’t add up. But what if the tension isn’t proof of error, but an invitation to think deeper, read slower, and trust wiser? 🔍🔥
In this conversation, we define what a real contradiction actually is, walk through the most common examples people point to, and show how context, authorial intent, and ancient writing styles dissolve most “gotchas.” Faith doesn’t grow by ignoring hard texts, it grows by facing them honestly.
👉 Listen in, bring your doubts, and learn how to respond when someone says, “The Bible is full of contradictions.”

Real questions deserve real answers. 🔥📖
In this no-filter Q&A, Nolan and Skyler tackle the actual questions people are asking, not the safe ones. Why did our view on tithing genuinely change over time? 👀💰 Do aliens exist? 👽 What do you do when you’re faithful, disciplined, doing “all the right things”… but still don’t hear God’s voice? 😶‍🌫️ How does leadership and elder accountability actually work at The Garden? And yes, we go there, faith, politics, and whether Christianity equals voting Republican 🇺🇸✝️
This conversation is honest, thoughtful, and grounded in Scripture, not slogans. If you’ve ever felt tension between conviction, culture, and church, this one’s for you.
🎧 Listen in, wrestle honestly, and keep asking better questions.
