Clearly Overthinking

Welcome to Clearly Overthinking: the podcast equivalent of opening 42 browser tabs and calling it “research.” Join us as we dive headfirst into the deep end of everyday questions, unnecessary hypotheticals, and philosophical rabbit holes we probably should’ve left alone. It’s like your group chat got a microphone… and a thesaurus. Think Deeper. Laugh Harder. Overanalyze Everything.

Are people predestined to be saved or just to disagree on matters of salvation? What's the beef with Calvinism and Arminianism, and can we grill it up and eat it? Find out if Matt finally convinces Austin to be a Calvinist on this episode of Clearly Overthinking!
**NOTE:**We took an approach with this episode where we explained some of the historical context around this debate. We probably missed some details, mispronounced some names and words (looking at you, Palagius!), but we hope this will be an educational video. If there's anything we missed, let us know in the comments!

The (class) struggle is real, friends—especially in this economy. In this episode, we’re cutting through the memes, the manifestos, and the hot takes to break down what Marx actually thought. Grab your coffee (or redistribute it) and let's overthink it.

We believe some stuff. Like… actual, foundational, Christian stuff. In this episode, we discuss some of the core beliefs we’re building our lives on. If you ever wondered, 'I wish someone would describe Christianity but with way more words than necessary', then you've come to the right place.
**Notes**- Sorry for the last 15 minutes of audio! We had some technical difficulties- Matt meant to say that Jesus is the half-brother of Lucifer, not Judas- Austin meant to describe Paul and Barnabas and not Paul and Silas when talking about disagreement in the church

Not all battles are worth fighting for, but we clearly didn't get that memo. In this episode, we're drawing lines in the sand and planting our flags with irrational confidence. Mountains and molehills--we're dying on all of them.
