In the 30th edition of the podcast, Kevin and Jackson investigate the first 5 chapters of Aristotle's famous Nicomachean Ethics. They discuss Aristotle's three modes of living (pleasure, politics, contemplation), and if contemplation (the highest mode of living for Aristotle), is reconcilable with Christianity.

In this latest edition of the pod, Kevin and Jackson discuss the concept of no-self, which is at the heart of the Buddhist faith, and whether or not it is reconcilable with Christian doctrine.

The podcast is ruined! God, who is always meddling about (ugh), has annoying intervened once again and ruined yet another good thing. After all, how can A Disciple and a Doubter continue on has it has for all these months when the Doubter is now a Disciple?! Tune in to find out more...

In this episode, Kevin and Jackson discuss one point of agreement Jackson has with the Catholic faith: confession, and one point of contention: the exclusion of other religions.

In this episode, Kevin and Jackson discuss the topic of Christian Smith and Melinda Lundquist Denton's 2005 paper, Moralistic Therapeutic Deism (MTD) - and namely, is it enough to simply be good people, or do we need something else in order to be worthy of salvation?

In this episode, Kevin and Jackson discuss the teaching put forth by the Catholic Church that the Eucharist contains the Real Presence of Christ, and that salvation is, at least to some extent, contingent on whether or not one accepts this.

This week, Jackson's friend (and future famous philosopher) Emilio joins the podcast to discuss what it means for any religion, Christianity included, to be true. Is there only one true religion? Does it even matter what religion one adheres to? Does any religion capture capital 'T' Truth, or do all just contain lowercase 't' truth to greater and lesser degrees?

In this 23rd episode of A Disciple and a Doubter, Kevin and Jackson return to Scripture after a long hiatus--and, for the first time, they discuss text a from the New Testament: St. Paul's Letter to the Romans. Martin Luther, the controversial figurehead of the Reformation, famously said that Romans, "is truly the most important piece in the New Testament," and that every Christian should not only, "know it word for word," but also, "occupy [themselves] with it everyday, as the daily bread of the soul."

But what is it, exactly, that makes Romans so essential to the Christian canon? The idea of an objective moral law? Faith alone? The radical concept of a universal faith? Kevin and Jackson try to get to the bottom of this on the latest edition of the pod--tune in!
