Episode 119 - Why don’t we live like eternity is real? Artwork

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.

Happy New Year! 🎉 In this special year-end episode of the Christian AF Podcast, Jesse, Jen, and Evan tackle the big question: Why don’t we live like eternity is real? With 2025 kicking off, we reflect on how eternity (or our avoidance of it) shapes our decisions, relationships, and priorities.

The crew dives into everything from our cultural obsession with immediacy and distraction to the spiritual disciplines that help us slow down and focus on what really matters. They explore how our Western mindset often misses the mark, why slowing down might be the most countercultural thing we can do, and how living with an eternal perspective could change everything.

Oh, and there’s bourbon punch. 🍹 Grab your favorite drink, sit back, and join us for a conversation that’s both hilarious and heartfelt. Who knew eternity could be this entertaining?
