Favored or Forsaken: Vacation Bible School

Grab your punch and cookies because we’re talking all about Vacation Bible School. Join Knox, Jamie, and Erin as they discuss whether this summer church staple is favored or forsaken. Along the way, you’ll hear lots of hand motion talk, a surprising VBS history lesson, and Jamie’s most traumatic church experience ever.

Conversations involving faith are often fraught with scholarly nerd alerts about ancient linguistics and inaccessible theological discussions centered around hermeneutics. But what if there was a way to use your pop culture literacy to enhance your biblical literacy? Welcome to Faith Adjacent, the podcast where we try to understand the modern dynamics of faith through a combined commitment to uncomfortable honesty, authentic weirdness, and critical thinking. Faith Adjacent is hosted by Knox McCoy and Jamie Golden of The Popcast along with Resident Bible Scholar Erin Moon.
