What does the end of the world look like to you? Does it involve blood cloaks, multi-headed dragons, and Bill Clinton? More importantly, is it insanely metal? In Episode 6, the gang finds out that for Evangelicals, the end is both very long and oddly specific. MK takes us through how he learned some totally sick passages from the Book of Revelation as a kid in the 1990s, Ian expresses surprise at the “zombie-ness” of it all, and Kathy has both praise for the beautiful writing and Scully-style skepticism for the prophetic nature of the text.

Jesus That's Weird is a podcast about our relationship with religion and just how frickin' weird it is sometimes. Former evangelical Christian MK explains his upbringing for his heathen husband Ian and their religiously disinclined friend Kathy, in the spirit of learning, laughs, and releasing trauma with a great deal of obscenity. Amen.
