The hereticrepublic’s Podcast
Heretic Republic is a podcast for people who love Jesus but are tired of shallow answers, click-bait theology, and faith that never asks hard questions.
At its core, the Heretic Republic Podcast takes the ideas from the Heretic Republic articles and brings them to life through honest, thoughtful conversation. Ava and Steffan dig into theology, culture, church life, doubt, and discipleship—not to be edgy for the sake of it, but to be faithful and clear in a noisy world.
You’ll hear conversations about:
-
Biblical theology without the hype — Scripture first, not algorithms
-
Faith in real life — where belief meets culture, work, relationships, and doubt
-
Challenging bad theology — lovingly, thoughtfully, and biblically
-
Asking the questions many Christians are thinking but rarely say out loud
The name Heretic Republic is intentional. It’s a reminder that throughout church history, people who pushed back against lazy or distorted theology were often labeled “heretics” before they were proven right by Scripture.
This podcast isn’t about tearing down the church.
It’s about loving the church enough to think deeply, speak honestly, and follow Jesus with both heart and mind.
If you like conversations that are curious, grounded, and unapologetically biblical—this one’s for you.

This episode untangles the Bible’s nuanced voice on alcohol: it recognizes wine as part of God’s good creation and joyous celebration, but repeatedly warns against drunkenness and loss of self-control.We trace Scripture, the Cana miracle, church history, and pastoral wisdom to argue for Christian liberty shaped by love and discernment—asking not simply “May I drink?” but “What kind of disciple am I becoming?”

We’ve traded patient, slow formation for sensational, shareable faith — a clickbait theology that prizes outrage, mystery, and spikes of stimulation over steady discipleship. This episode names how algorithms and short-form content reshape belief, erode responsibility, and tempt Christians to prefer spectacle over service.We’ll explore the costs of a milkshake faith, the biblical call to neighbor-love and endurance, and how to move from catchy hooks to true formation that strengthens communities, care, and long-term faithfulness.

For many Christians, predestination isn’t something they chose to believe. It’s something they inherited.
You heard the words early:chosen, elect, foreknown.
Someone told you they meant God picked some people to be saved and others not to be—and that questioning it meant questioning God Himself. So you nodded, maybe felt a little uneasy, and moved on.
