Praise to the Cast
“That’s the impossible middle ground we’ve established for ourselves,” (or something like it) is how Kevin Porter, who hosts the Good Christian Fun podcast with Caroline Ely, describes their work. The conceit is that the hosts and some guests review items from Christian-targeted pop culture and toss out their impressions. Along the way they talk about their relationship to American Evangelical Christianity. Both of them grew up attached to the Church in different ways though – as they freely admit – neither has the resume to be talking about any of professionally.
That’s the aspect I find charming about it.
Both are young socially liberal folks who care about their religion. They freely and deeply share their doubts and moments of affirmation. And some appalling popular culture.
It reaffirms my faith in people to hear personable, openly religious people who care about justice and decency. If you feel like you need a dose of that now and again, come check it out.
