The OddFather Podcast

Two guys who like science and probably think too much, but also love God and love being His children, get together with a common understanding.

This God they love is really confusing.

How has the world we live in shaped what we believe about what believe? And why do these two find their Father so odd?

  • Ep 88: Aren’t We Losers?
    Yep, Chris and Pete are losers, or are they just playing the infinite game? Can we have a relationship where neither partner loses? Can we live by not trying to win? Is winning people for God a stupid game that just creates losers or is game theory good for God lovers?
  • Ep 87: What’s Wrong With Billy Joel?
    Chris and Pete harmonise with Billy Joel as he sings that ‘Only fools are satisfied’. So are we fools? Or is there more going on here? Are fools happy, rather than Joyful? What are we looking for then and could The Rolling Stones possibly have a clue?
  • Ep 86: Sorry? What Is Apologetics?
    Chris and Pete look at this strange beast called Christian Apologetics. What is it? Why is it? Does it confuse more than confirm? Do we need it or is it a distraction? Can we be okay with not knowing or do we need our beliefs to be scientifically legitimate? And today, is it nothing more than just a tik tok bunfight?
  • Ep 85: Doesn’t God Do the work?
    One for the creative folk. Surely all we do is create what god tells us to? Does Chris write his own sermons? Did Pete write his novels? Or do we only do what God tells us? Is it God doing the art works? Is God in control of your creativity or is it YOU, the human, who is creative? Did God tell you that? Do individuals need each other to be effective creatively, or is God enough?
  • Ep 84: Miracles Versus signs
    Chris and Pete have another wrestle with translating the words we know so well. Like a bible full of miracles… are they really? Should we ever pray for a miracle? Why are they so special? Why does God even roll out miracles? Have we misunderstood what they are? Is it a magic show? A party trick? Or is it something far more important?
