The Holy Post

Phil Vischer created VeggieTales, which means he spent years explaining God to kids through talking vegetables. The Holy Post is what happens when that same creative brain turns toward adult conversations about faith, culture, and the American church. Co-hosted with Skye Jethani — an author, pastor, and former editor at Christianity Today — and Kaitlyn Schiess, a theologian and writer, the show has been running since 2012 and has racked up over 750 episodes. The format is loose and lively. Each week the trio riffs on news stories, cultural moments, and theological questions, mixing genuine humor with surprisingly sharp analysis. Vischer brings the comedy chops and pop culture instincts. Jethani adds pastoral depth and a willingness to challenge evangelical assumptions. Schiess, the youngest voice at the table, contributes a theologian's precision and a talent for connecting historical Christianity to present-day debates. This isn't a sermon podcast or a devotional. It's closer to a roundtable where three smart Christians try to figure out what faithfulness looks like when the culture wars are raging and the church is fractured. They talk about politics without being partisan hacks, and they tackle hard topics — Christian nationalism, racial justice, church scandals — without retreating into safe platitudes. Holy Post Media has expanded into a small network with additional shows like "Curiously, Kaitlyn" (theology for all ages) and "The Skyepod." But the flagship podcast remains the main draw. Episodes typically run 60 to 90 minutes and drop weekly. If you want thoughtful Christian commentary that doesn't make you check your brain at the door, this is one of the best options out there.
