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 123 - Why Does Genesis 1-11 Matter?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Genesis 1-11: The greatest hits of Sunday school, or something much deeper? In this episode of the Christian AF Podcast, Jesse, Jen, and Evan dive into the origins of everything—creation, Adam & Eve, Noah’s Ark, and the Tower of Babel—except we’re not here for the flannelgraph version.
Is Genesis meant to be taken literally, or is there something bigger going on? Why do so many people make this the hill they’re willing to die on? And most importantly, how do we talk about this with kids without setting them up for a faith crisis at 20?
We also question how Christians engage with culture, why we still think Noah’s Ark was a cute children’s story despite being about mass destruction, and whether Jesus and the disciples were just hanging out naked all the time (it’s a fair question, okay?).
So grab a drink, get comfortable, and let’s rethink the Bible stories we thought we knew.
