The Mighty Philbert Podcast
Welcome to The Mighty Philbert — the channel where we dig deep, ask hard questions, and refuse to smile politely at bad theology. Whether you're crawling out of evangelicalism, recovering from purity culture, or just wondering why your Sunday school teacher thought dinosaurs rode the Ark, you're in the right place.
Hosted by a proud GenX survivor of church trauma and theological gaslighting, this channel serves up weekly doses of counter-apologetics, Christian deconstruction, and cultural commentary with a heavy side of sarcasm and '90s nostalgia. We’re talking real talk about religion, belief, and how to rebuild your worldview without all the baggage.
New episodes every week. Bring your questions, bring your doubts — and maybe your flannel.
Because sometimes faith needs a second opinion.

S03E25 Its Me - Its Verity
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, this confused Gen Xer goes down the "It's Me, It's Verity" rabbit hole to find out who—or what—Verity actually is and why this bizarre Minecraft horror character has caught on.
But the deeper I went, the more familiar the whole thing started to feel.
Gen X had HAL 9000, WOPR, Skynet...and, God help us, Clippy.
Maybe every generation takes the technology it doesn't completely understand and turns it into a monster.
From Cold War computer paranoia to creepy internet legends to today's artificial intelligence, we're looking at how our technological fears have changed—and why Verity may not be quite as weird as Gen X thinks.
