Save Me White Jesus

Religion & Spirituality


Welcome to the FIRST EVER episode of Save Me White Jesus! Well, we’re calling it the first, but it’s really our...seventh? Here’s the deal, gang: After recording, editing, and re-listening to our first five episodes, we realized that we had fallen off the narrow path, so to speak. After a bit of soul searching, we’ve decided to throw those episodes out and restart with a clear vision. The good news? You get to start this insane journey with us, not by listening to our first attempts, but by listening to our new, refined format. Basically what we’re saying is that you could be riding in a bicycle right now but, instead, you’re writing in a Bentley. In today’s episode, our hosts introduce themselves and run through their Christian “bona fides.” They also explain why it was so important to start over, and what they want the podcast to accomplish as it grows. We also took a look at immigration, both in terms of its history and in terms of America’s specific climate. Then Dave introduce us to a very childish game. Did you love it? You can tell him that you loved it. He has an absurdly fragile ego, which is something we’re all working on. After those good, good laughs, we discussed how the American government is currently handling immigration and, even more, how they’re using the Bible to defend it. We don’t want to spoil the episode for you but, in a nutshell, the government isn’t doing a GREAT job.
