Paul and Rob examine the heroes of the faith with a focus on the redemptive arcs of Samson and David.

Join us as we start discussing God's redemptive nature while examining the redemptive arc in Star Wars.

Join us as we continue discussing antiheroes and the spaghetti western genre specifically.

Break out the pistols & pasta as we examine the spaghetti western genre and the antihero model!

Join us as we analyze the dark hero with Batman serving as the clear model. That said, the caped crusader is hardly the only example we discuss.

One of the most fascinating aspects of any hero is the origin story and the trajectory from humble beginnings to greatness. How does the Christian walk align with this trajectory? Join us as we consider how several heroic characters developed and what scripture says about Jesus' trajectory. Finally, are we called as Believers to live out the heroic trajectory?

Why does the world accept an all-powerful character such as Superman including everything he stands for while rejecting Jesus and His message? Join us as we examine the Superman theory as well as the character's cultural impact and vice versa.

Join as we start a mini-series on the hero concept with Paul leading us through the comic book eras and the various heroic models each spawned. We have always had heroes but our concept of who is a hero or what makes a hero is inconstant flux.

This episode offers a deep exploration of determinism v. free will as we discuss Elegy. This is honestly one of the weirder TZ episodes which is saying a lot! That said, it has much to offer us in asking whether man possesses free will or whether God has determined our every step or thought.

Rob finally explains his love of Nothing in the Dark with a personal testimony. Also, how does the Twilight Zone leave viewers in their very own Cassandra Crisis? Join the discussion.

Paul walks us through an explanation of the Cassandra syndrome and how it illuminates our understanding of biblical truth and the Twilight Zone.

The fate chat continues as Rob & Paul finish discussing the HitchHiker before transitioning into Nothing in the Dark which is one of Rob's favorite Twilight Zone episodes. Join the fun as we continue tempting fate while discussing topics such as aging, death, the personification of death, and determinism.

Join Paul & Rob as we examine the Hitch-Hiker, a classic episode from the second Twilight Zone season and its theme on accepting our fate. Does the Bible address fate or is God's calling cast in a different light?

Time Enough is an incredible episode of The Twilight Zone so we analyzed it from top to bottom and explored themes of escaping from reality thanks to fantasy.Welcome to Season 3 of the Wonkyfied Podcast! With it comes a brand new style of video!

We can't stop discussing The Twilight Zone and how it pertains to philosophy and religion!

On this episode we start discussing the Twilight Zone and how it pertains to religion!

On this episode we discuss the Theological aspects of the A-Theory of Time Travel! Tune in next time to hear us do the same but for the B-Theory!

On this episode we talk about Time Travel in nerd culture and use it as a way to discuss about time in The Bible!

Welcome to Season 2 of the Wonkyfied Podcast! On this episode we discuss the overlap between "Nerd Culture" and Christianity.

Looking at the various forms and types of battles we deal with in life. In some battles, God tells us to be patient and wait for him. Then, sometimes he clears the path and rips the Band-Aid off quickly. And there are times we are in the wars of attrition, the ones we never get out of. Listen as Dr. Rob interviews Dr. Michael Whiting, Assistant professors of Christina History and Leadership at Dallas Baptist University and Paul Carvey, adjunct professors at DBU about these daily battles and how God uses them to grow us.

The Bible records numerous battles involving God’s chosen people, the Israelites. You remember the Battle of Jericho in the Book of Joshua, right? Our everyday lives include battles and like Jericho God has a plan for each of them. So how about we take a moment to discuss the types of battles and different ways God responds to our internal and external conflicts.  Join this series as Dr. Rob talks about the Battles we face every day and how we can overcome them.

God's timeless truths never change. But do you have friends who "Tell it like it is" when it comes to Biblical truth? Well, we need to consider the source before calling all wisdom timeless.  

Why do my shoelaces always come untied? I think about this a lot because my shoes come untied a lot. So, what causes my laces to unravel? The answer helps explain why my walk with Christ gets off course.   Join the discussion at  www.drrobsullivan.com.
