Episode 102: "Blasting Ops While Praising Pops"
About this episode
Jamie and Eric discuss pranks, biblical stories, video games, and church discipline in a humorous and theological context.
In this episode, Jamie & Eric kick things off with Shooting the Skybalon, where Jamie confesses to a prank he pulled on Eric, and Alex shares a traumatic tale of his personal space being violated at a Japanese restaurant. In The Bible Says Whaaat?!, they dive into Genesis 34 and unpack the infamous circumcision battle—what actually happened and why it’s in the Bible. In Houston, We Have a Question, they wrestle with violent video games and Christian content, asking where discernment fits in a digital world. Finally, in Shady Theology, they tackle church discipline—what it’s meant to be, and how it often goes wrong. It’s awkward, intense, and sneakily theological—welcome to Not the Sermon. 00:00:20 – Skybalon: Jamie’s prank & Alex’s personal space 00:10:49 – The Bible Says Whaaat?!: The circumcision massacre (Genesis 34) 00:25:52 – Houston, We Have a Question: Violent video games & Christian content 00:39:13 – Shady Theology: Church discipline
