It's been a few weeks since the world welcomed a new pope. And while there was plenty of coverage at the beginning, it's about time to ask: how is he doing? What have the first few weeks revealed about the future of the Catholic Church and how he will operate as pope?

Well, the last two people you want discussing this are your two Protestant hosts, so to help us out, we brought on Jimmy Akin from Jimmy Akin's Mysterious World and Catholics Answers to help us out.

Hot take! (not really)

There are plenty of faith-based films, and it seems that the avalanche of Christian movies has only been increasing in recent years. There is only one problem: nearly all of them are awful.

Perhaps one of the best examples of this is the film series God's Not Dead. While Christians flocked to see it and applauded it for its message, most others were appalled by its portrayal of non-Christians, its shallow storytelling, and its simplistic view of the world.

In this episode, we review the film and offer our take on not just this film but how Christian films can improve in the future.

The problem of evil has been a major theological and philosophical conundrum for millennia. Writers even before the time of Jesus were wrestling with the idea of why God (or the gods) would allow such pain and suffering in the world. Where is God in the midst of all this evil?

Needless to say, Scripture is not silent on this issue. On this episode, we jump straight into this thorny issue with Dr. Matthew McBirth and look particularly at how St. Peter dealt with the issue in the Bible. In short, we have Peter, pain, and the problem that won't go away.
