Mid-faith Crisis 349: One of our least worst episodes
Joe is not very well this week. So I posted something we recorded some years ago on my book The Badly Behaved Bible. We talk about the inspiration of scripture and how many of our problems with the Bible are not with the book itself, so much as the things people say about it.

Mid-faith Crisis 347: Happy birthdays and hard questions
It’s our ninth anniversary! So, for a nice, relaxed, party-like topic we talk about Israel. Why is it that so many Christians support modern Israel so strongly? How can we respond when there is so much violence and hatred on all sides? Where is the Kingdom of God in all this? Also Nick has discovered some scriptural golf balls and Joe has been rewriting the Bible. Again.

Mid-faith Crisis 346: You’ve got five minutes on the problem of evil
In a packed feedback episode, we consider time, baptism, re-writing scripture, the omniscience of God and the problem of evil. Among other things. Also Nick has his nerd buttons pressed, and Joe has a new heretical disorder.
In the upcoming episode of The Mid-faith Crisis Podcast, Joe and I talk briefly about whether it’s OK for people to get baptised twice. I alluded to the founder of the Baptists, John Smith, a man who was actually baptised three times. Once by himself.
The Divine Comedy have a new album out. That is all, thank you.
