Skeptics & Saints
The Skeptics & Saints Podcast is where we dive deep into the questions that skeptics and saints alike are asking. From controversy to theology, from culture to apologetics, this podcast is going to engage in real conversations to challenge skeptics toward faith and saints towards further growth. We tackle tough topics, explore Scripture, and wrestle with the realities of following Jesus in a world full of brokenness. If you’re looking for thought-provoking discussions, you’ve found the right place.
This is a podcast by The Garden Church in Surprise Arizona for Skeptics and Saints to consider the claims of Jesus.

Meet Pastor Skyler
After a short break, Skeptics & Saints is back! 🙌 In this powerful episode, Nolan sits down with longtime friend Skyler Elmer, who just joined The Garden Church as a Teaching Pastor.
Skyler shares his incredible story — from being an atheist who mocked Christians, to finding faith, to becoming a pastor and teacher of God’s Word. Together, Nolan and Skyler reflect on their early days of basement Bible studies, hard lessons from ministry, and the importance of humility, prayer, and quick obedience in leadership.
They also unveil something big: The Garden’s new vision for an in-house Bible college and seminary — training disciples, pastors, and future church planters to handle God’s Word with both depth and devotion.
🔥 Topics Covered:
- Skyler’s journey from atheism to faith
- Lessons from ministry: humility, prayer, obedience
- Why The Garden is building an in-house seminary
- The danger of shallow theology & progressive drift
- How the Holy Spirit leads in real, tangible ways
- The future of biblical training in the local church
🙏 Pray For:
Skyler, Stephanie, and their kids as they settle into life and ministry at The Garden.
