Do you ever get that feeling that you're a hamster on a wheel...inside of a dynamo...that's powering a Tesla...through the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race? Us too! When life just feels too busy to spend much quality time in your local worship hut, Church Drunk has you covered.
Are you a Jesus or a John? A Mary or a Martha? A Peter or a Paul? Here at Church Drunk we have decided that it's time to pick a side! Because there are only two kinds of people in this world: those who see everything in black and white, and namby-pamby fence-sitters who have no idea what they are talking about!
Have you ever watched Star Wars or Game or Thrones or any of your favorite adventures in film or television (like...Seinfeld?) and found yourself saying, "Damn, I wish there was a church like that one"? Us too! From "vanya sulie" to "valar morghulis" Church Drunk's got you covered this week. Dive in, and may the force be with you!
In last week's podcast we gave a shout out to the nuns who have done and continue to do great work in our world. Nuns have often led the way in providing a voice for justice, and we need more of that in our church today! We mentioned a couple of articles about nuns are... Continue Reading →
Do you ever wonder why it is called "Mother Church" when it so often refuses to give women their due as faith-filled motivators for positive change and all-around rock stars? So do we. In this episode, we do our best to recognize the amazing work of nuns and other women who lead the way toward a church where justice is at the top of the priority list.
We all know what happens when we assume, right? We make a donkey out of "u" and "me" and then we all fly to heaven on a cloud (obviously). With the Feast of the Assumption of Mary nearly upon us, Church Drunk takes a closer look at who Mary really is, why she still means so much to Catholics around the world, and who our "modern day Marys" (and anti-Marys!) might be.
So on last week's podcast, Dizzy and I discussed some of our favorite myths and legends from the Old Testament. The inspiration for the podcast came from Neil Gaiman's delightful new book on Norse Mythology, in which he encourages all of us to continue telling and retelling the stories that are most important to us....

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!
We took a long wander down the Ignatian path in our last podcast, and all because yesterday (July 31) was the feast of the man himself, St. Ignatius of Loyola. Sometimes, and particularly when we wake up the day after a feast, we find ourselves in a position that requires a long look in the... Continue Reading →
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!
