We here at Church Drunk believe that mystery is the heart of almost any spiritual pursuit, and that often a good story is the best way of plumbing the depths of mystery. As such, myths and legends hold a special place in our hearts. In this episode we dive into the truth behind stories that are not at all true. Plus, we're keeping it OT as we play a few spirited rounds of Name That Hebrew Scripture Legend...because we are HUGE nerds!
July 31 is the Feast of St. Ignatius, a personal favorite among all of us here at Church Drunk. In honor of good ol' Iggy of Loyola, we take a deep dive into the life and times of the man himself, as well as the Jesuit tradition that has followed in his wake. Fire up your favorite divine libation and jump on in!
Church Drunk Season 2 is here! If you're a loyal fan, then you can expect more of the same boozy wanderings through mysticism, unapologetics, and book nerdiness. If you're new to Church Drunk, welcome to the party. Dizzy & Ges begin this season with an examination of Ordinary Time, the most least fascinating of all liturgical wonders!
Dizzy & Ges play "50 Shades of Yay" to review the joyful highlights of the Easter season and take a deep dive into the 1,085th(ish) birthday of the church. Join us for this bonus interlude between Lent and our summer series, but be warned, this foul-mouthed romp is not for the faint of heart!
In our final "official" episode of what we're gonna go ahead and call "Season 1" we find ourselves riding the Eastertide! Our 40 days of Lenten fasting have led us into 50 days of Easter feasting. This is our season of hope, gratitude, and resurrection. Let the wild rumpus begin!
Well, folks, our 40 days of Lent have finally brought us to the foot of the cross on Good Friday. What better way to honor the saving work of our Savior than with a tongue-in-cheek examination of his life through the fictional stylings of Christopher Moore? We've been teasing our Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff episode for weeks, and now it's time to get down to business. Spoilers abound. Consider yourselves warned!
We are officially into the home stretch of Lent! Dizzy and Ges go full tilt into the glory of Holy Week with a deep (perhaps too deep) examination of Triduum. Beginning with the triumphant riding of a donkey on Palm Sunday, we roll onward to the discovery of the empty tomb on Easter morning. Join us for a Paschal preview!
40 days sounded so much shorter back on Ash Wednesday, right? As we enter the homestretch of Lent, Dizzy & Ges discuss the highlights and lowlights of the season so far, as well as a few plans to finish strong in these final couple of weeks with a solid routine of prayer, fasting, and generosity rooted in rageousness. We also touch on a bit of Pope Hope, and offer a gentle reminder about Church Drunk's required reading!
Well, the Cubs have won the World Series, Cleveland has a broken it's championship drought, and the Pats just recently pulled off the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history, so it only seems appropriate that we turn our attention toward miracles. From men born blind to bacon-flavored exorcisms, Church Drunk has you covered. Join us for all that, plus a few rounds of our new favorite game, Cards Against Christianity!
In their first installment of "Drunk Lives of the Saints" Dizzy and Ges reCOUNT (Despite what Ges says, we don't "recant" the lives of the saints. We actually stand by them quite emphatically!) the lives and legends of St. Patrick and St. Brigid of Kildare. Join us in a toast (or ten) to the saints of the Emerald Isle!
