It doesn’t matter if you are a \"Weirdo-in-Christ\" or just a Weirdo – everyone is welcome here at the Church of the Undead. And I use the word “undead” because here we are DEAD to sin and ALIVE in Christ! If you want to join this Weirdo congregation, just click that SUBSCRIBE or FOLLOW button – and visit us online at WeirdDarkness.com/CHURCH . Full disclosure – I might use the term “pastor” because I’ve branded this podcast as a church – but I do not have a theology degree, nor did I ever go to Bible college. I’m just a guy who gave his life to Christ in 1989 and has tried to “walk the walk” every since – and has stumbled a lot along the way – because, like everybody else, I am an imperfect, heavily-flawed human being. So please don’t take what I say as gospel; dig into God’s word yourself for confirmation, inspiration, and revelation. That being said, welcome to the Church of the Undead!","last_synced_at":"2026-06-08T08:17:29.506914+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/church-of-the-undead-4947254"},"episode":{"title":"Down the Rabbit Hole: A Note About This Week's #COTU Episode","slug":"down-the-rabbit-hole-a-note-about-this-week-s-cotu-episode","published_at":"2026-05-10T23:23:44+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/church-of-the-undead-4947254/down-the-rabbit-hole-a-note-about-this-week-s-cotu-episode","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/church-of-the-undead-4947254","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/down-the-rabbit-hole-a-note-about-this-week-s-cotu-episode--71950402","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/71950402/untitled_1.mp3","summary":"This week's Church of the Undead (#COTU) pulled me down a rabbit hole. The further I worked on it, the more it asked of me — more material, more questions of my own that needed answers... honestly, if I kept going it could easily become a book, and maybe someday it will. But for now I'm working toward the podcast version, and even that may not be ready for the usual Sunday release. I'll keep at it, but this may be a mid-week episode!
