Everything is OK Podcast tackles life from a faith perspective. Three guys from Oklahoma, navigating life, spirituality, and everything in between.
Hello Everything is OK world! Kyle and James talk about big changes in James’ rheumatoid arthritis medicine, and the ending of the drug trial. They explore the broken pharmaceutical industry in the United States, and how it impacts everyday loved ones. They also discuss global warming and how we should be better stewards of the planet.

ALIENS! UAPS! With this summer’s news of the congressional hearing on unidentified aerial phenomenon, Kyle and James dig deep. What would it mean to Christianity if we find out we are not alone in the galaxy? Are aliens minor gods? Do aliens go to heaven or the heavens? What did C.S. Lewis say and why is his sci-fi so good? Too many questions. Everything is OK, people.

What a couple of weeks: the war in Ukraine rages on, mass shootings and the White nationalism nightmare continue, and Roe V Wade set to be overturned. So we thought this episode would be the perfect time to reveal two new cast members to the Everything is OK family: Melia Mullins and Matthew O’Mealey!!
We wanted to have as many diverse, Christian opinions on this episode to discuss why most Christians are celebrating the end of 50 years of judicial precedent. Also why the majority of democrats, a minority of Christians, and some members of this podcast see this is as detrimental and just the beginning of a loss of individual rights for many Americans. What do you think? Let us know and enjoy this compelling discussion on the end of Roe v. Wade.

In Episode 111, we speak with Christian Taylor (cohost of Holy Post Podcast) about her new film The Girl Who Wore Freedom.
Christian grew up in Laurel, MS and paints a picture of how growing up in 1970s Mississippi impacted her journey of faith and the art of storytelling. Her new film tells the stories of those who experienced Normandy first hand while experiencing liberation from ultimate loss. You can learn more about her film at normandystories.com. Also check her and the crew out at Holy Post! . Follow Christian on twitter here.

Ep. 110 is here and we are star struck. It’s not every day you have the chance to sit down and chat through a mind-blowing book with the author. Kristin Du Mez is a professor of History, author and charming guest. She wrote the critically acclaimed novel Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation. She is kind, funny and gives us some nice answers to questions like “how did we get here” and “how can evangelicals grow post Donald Trump”.
Please buy her book today! We listened to it on audible, but she has a second printing of it available now where you get books. She would love to connect via twitter as well.
