It's finally here! Our post-election minisode (recorded, but not finalized, in a timely fashion) is finally out! Give it a listen & let us know what you think! As we dive back into the podcast, we'd love to know what you want to know or hear more about!!

Post-Election Minisode de Nerds At Church
Pastor Emily (they) and Pastor Kay (she) take some time to check-in, process, and look ahead since the election. This episode was originally recorded the week after the elections in the united states, but due to family emergencies and life, captions didn't get finalized until now, so it's a bit later than we'd hoped for. Now that we are into December and have had some time to process and reflect, let us know how you're feeling, what information you are in need of, and what else you'd like from us in this time!Pastor Emily mentioned this special from the Daily Show which is an important post-election watch.As always, check out our booklist from this and past seasons on bookshop.org!  To support Nerds At Church, you can become a Patreon Supporter at any tier for extra perks and bonus content including uncut episodes, Live Q&As, discounts on merch, movie commentaries, and more.  If becoming a paying supporter isn't possible right now, please leave us a review instead — it helps sustain the show and spread the word!  Check us out on Facebook, Twitter, & Bluesky! at @NerdsAtChurch to connect!

We know we've been a bit MIA lately, but we haven't actually teleported out of here (no matter how much we currently want to). We've got some important episodes coming out still and just recorded a "minisode" with some updates for y'all, which should come out soon. More soon!

Whether you're casting Snuffleupagus' warmth & flitting visibility for Asiya, Gonzo's genderqueer Esther, Elmo's confusing testing of powers as Kamala Khan, or something else, our episode 5 #MuppetsMoment has all the options you need!

Let us know who you're casting!
ID: Snuffleupagus Muppet, a large Muppet with brown fur, a pink tongue, and large trunk and tail sits on hindlegs.

Also, soar over the heroes with captions! Plus I forgot to mention, Kamala Khan as Ms. Marvel is decidedly one of my favorites and we get to nerd out all about her!!

Soar through the captions with a bit more grace than Kamala Khan when she's first getting the hang of her powers!

I think Miles Morales' Spidey could definitely have a good time with the Muppet Lions. ...but then, so could Rowlf.
What about you? Who are you casting for Episode 4's #MuppetsMoment?

It's time once again for our #MuppetsMoment! Who are you casting this week?

Team Red teaming up with Gonzo the Great? Rowlf growling at the lions? Miles Morales taking on Muppet Lions in Daniel? So many options! Let us know who you are casting!
ID: Team Red (Daredevil, Spiderman, and Deadpool) are drawn in ready to fight stances facing a superimposed Gonzo the Great who stands in a superhero pose. ID: a family of four Muppet Lions stand together with Rowlf in the front by a piano. ID: a family of four Muppet Lions stand together with Miles Morales' animated Spider-Man swinging by in front.

This week, Jesus cusses. Yes it's a slur. No he's not calling her a cute puppy (even so, that would still be demeaning). Yes, it's complicated.

Join @romans821.bsky.social and I to revisit our episode from season 1 and the trauma collision (h/t @suzannah.bsky.social) of our gospel!
