We seek to engage with the themes and philosophies behind our favorite stories, wrestling with the big ideas within speculative fiction. We’re unabashedly nerdy and unabashedly Christian. Even if your faith background differs from ours, we look forward to interacting with you at The Sci-Fi Christian!

*Next week we will be back on a more or less weekly schedule. Thanks for enduring the dog days.* The question mark in “The Greatest Powers?” refers to Ed’s relentless pursuit of the downside of superpowers if they were to exist. Would having them be the greatest? This made for a slightly more interesting conversation than the typical “who could beat who” feats convos that dominate the nerd space. Enjoy the plethora of sex jokes that happen when we don’t have Producer Bill for ballast.
