Shownotes

For the finale of our origins / cosmology series of 2023, we are discussing 4 ancient creation mythologies: Greek, Norse, Mesopotamian, and Hebrew! Christian Ashley and Joshua Noel are joined by guest and former host, Brandon Knight, to discuss these creation myths and what they can teach us today. We compare each of these myths to what we believe about our own creation myth in the Bible!

Systematic Geekology

Our show focuses around our favorite fandoms that we discuss from a Christian perspective. We do not try to put Jesus into all our favorite stories, but rather we try to ask the questions the IPs are asking, then addressing those questions from our perspective. We are not all ordained, but we are the Priests to the Geeks, in the sense that we try to serve as mediators between the cultures around our favorite fandoms and our faith communities.
