Discount Disciples Podcast (Formerly Christian AF)
Discount Disciples Podcast (formerly known as Christian AF) is a podcast for Christians with a few scuffs and dents.
It began with long conversations over good drinks and the growing realization that life and faith are not nearly as simple as we were often taught. What followed were bigger questions—about doubt, church culture, theology, certainty, and whether faith could hold up under honest scrutiny. We started asking questions: Why was doubt treated like danger? Why did honest wrestling feel off-limits? Why were so many of us handed a version of faith that could not survive real life?
Discount Disciples is a space for those conversations. It is for people who are questioning, reconstructing, healing, or simply trying to follow Jesus without pretending everything is neat and settled. We talk about faith, church culture, theology, and the complicated work of rebuilding belief with honesty, humility, and curiosity.
We are not experts, and we are not shiny and new anymore. We are still here, still showing up, and still have a little more wear in us.
So grab a drink, settle in, and join us.

Episode 112 - TIM WHITAKER | New Evangelicals
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ever had a conversation so good, that you had to do it twice? Well, that's exactly what happened with this episode of the Christian AF Podcast featuring Tim Whitaker from The New Evangelicals. That's right, folks. We managed to forget to hit record the first time around (classic us), but trust us, this take is worth the wait.
In this episode, Jesse, Jen, and Evan dive deep with Tim into the chaotic world of modern evangelicalism. Tim shares his journey from growing up in a conservative evangelical environment to founding The New Evangelicals, a digital-first nonprofit that's shaking up the conversation around faith and politics. We explore the messy intersections of theology, social justice, and how the church is (or isn't) stepping up in today's world.
From discussing the problematic ties between faith and politics to the frustrations of church volunteerism, we cover it all—complete with some good ol' fashioned sarcasm, of course. Tim doesn’t shy away from calling out the absurdities within the church, all while sharing a vision for a better way forward.
So, grab your favorite drink (bonus points if it's blueberry coffee), sit back, and join us for a conversation that's as real as it gets. No punches pulled, just honest talk about faith in a complicated world.
