• What in the Hull Happened? with Matt Lucio, Greg Howell, and Shawn Brace

  Moses Hull was a silver tongued Adventist evangelist who gave up his faith in favor of dialoging with the dead. His fall from grace has become a fearful narrative deployed by Adventists to keep away from slippery slopes that might lead to Spiritualism. But do we have the whole story? In this episode Seth invites Matthew Lucio, Greg Howell, and Shawn Brace to explore one of Adventism's cautionary tales related to talking with the dead.  Show Notes Podcast | Adventist Pilgrimage with Greg Howell and Michael Campbell - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/adventist-pilgrimage/id1558388185; Podcast | Adventist History Podcast with Matthew Lucio - https://www.adventisthistorypodcast.org/; Shawn Brace’s Substack, Reimagining Faith -  https://shawnbrace.substack.com

• Zombie Religion: Voodoo, Christianity, and the Living Dead with Emily Zarka

  "Voodoo" is often used as a pejorative term by Christians for indigenous belief systems, as well as a scapegoat for why bad things happen. It's also connected with Western media's fascination with the figure of the "zombie". Outside of jokes about less than vibrant faith communities, is there an actual religious history connection between the classic horror monster and religious belief? On this episode Seth welcomes back Dr. Emily Zarka from PBS's Monstrum to discuss the faith of zombies. Show Notes Show | PBS Monstrum - https://www.pbs.org/show/monstrum/
