Base of Operations {OR... Home is Where The Vibranium Is}

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 00:15:00 -0400

What makes a great base of operations?

In this episode of Nerd of Godcast, we explore some of the most iconic fictional headquarters in pop culture. From Castle Grayskull, the Batcave, and the Death Star to Hogwarts and other legendary locations, we talk about the bases that define heroes, villains, and epic stories across movies, comics, TV, and video games.

As Nerd of Godcast relocates our own recording headquarters, we reflect on what it means when the location changes but the mission stays the same. We also connect this idea to faith, discussing how believers are called to adapt to new environments while staying focused on God’s purpose.

Plus, we’re officially on the road to MegaCon Orlando as we prepare for our outreach to the nerd community at one of the biggest fan conventions in the country.

If you love nerd culture, fandom discussions, and faith, this episode is for you.

The City of Lost Children- Where do Forgotten Franchises Go?

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 00:15:00 -0400

We all know Mario, Sonic, Star Wars, and Star Trek. But what about Bubsy? Alex Kidd? Firefly? Jericho?

In this episode of Nerd of Godcast, we explore the pop culture properties the world forgot— the shows, movies, and video games that had all the right ingredients… but none of the staying power.

Join us as we dive into:

• Forgotten TV shows that deserved more seasons

• Underrated video games that should have been franchises

• Movies that felt like the start of something big

• The difference between popularity and faithfulness

• A biblical perspective on obscurity, endurance, and eternal impact

If you love nerd culture, deep conversations, and faith-centered discussion, this episode is for you. In a culture obsessed with visibility, platform, and viral success, we ask a deeper question:

When the world forgets what doesn’t trend… will heaven remember what is faithful?

Love, Valentines... All That Crap

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 09:15:00 -0400

Valentine’s Day. Romance. Candy hearts. Unrealistic expectations.

In this episode of Nerd of Godcast, the crew digs into love, relationships, and yes… all that crap.

What is the difference between real love and infatuation? Why do rom-coms end before the hard part starts? And what happens when love becomes less about butterflies and more about choosing someone on their most annoying day?

We talk about the pressure of Valentine’s Day for singles and couples, the comedy of mismatched love languages, and the everyday acts of sacrifice that actually build lasting relationships. Along the way, the conversation turns toward a deeper, faith-based definition of love that is less about feelings and more about action.

Expect laughs, honesty, a little nerdy chaos, and a perspective that might just outlast the chocolates.

Whether you love Valentine’s Day or roll your eyes at it, this one is for you.

The Bake Sale

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 00:15:00 -0400

What’s the one meal you’d eat forever if you had to choose? What fast food will you defend like it’s a core belief? And which fictional snacks from video games, animation, and sci-fi do we wish were real?

In this episode, we kick back and have some fun, casual conversation about favorite foods, guilty pleasures, candy debates, and fast-food loyalties, before diving into iconic fictional foods from nerd culture. From classic video game snacks to animated comfort foods, we explore why food matters so much in the stories we love and in the lives we live.

Along the way, we talk about faux cuss words, enjoy some fresh baked D&D snacks and vote for King of all Nerds. It’s lighthearted, nerdy, and relatable, with plenty of laughs and “oh yeah!” moments.

Whether you’re a fan of video games, animation, sci-fi, comics, or pop culture, or you just love talking about food, this episode is for you.

👉 Perfect for fans of nerd culture, casual faith conversations, and podcasts that blend fun with meaning.

I Heart the 80's

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 00:15:00 -0400

Why does the 1980s still live rent-free in our collective imagination?

In this episode, we take a deep dive into our love for the 1980s and explore why this decade continues to shape pop culture today. From iconic movies and unforgettable music to arcade games, TV shows, and the endless wave of reboots and revivals, the ’80s left a cultural fingerprint that never faded.

We debate what made the decade so special, revisit our favorite moments, and even try to answer the big question: Was the 1980s the greatest era for entertainment ever, or are we just hopelessly nostalgic? Along the way, we compare the best years of the decade, break down why certain ideas endure, and talk about how ’80s creativity still influences modern storytelling, gaming, and media.

Whether you grew up in the era of VHS tapes, mall arcades, and Saturday morning cartoons, or you’re discovering the magic of the ’80s for the first time, this episode is a love letter to a decade that refuses to fade into the past.

Season X-Mas: Another Nerd of Godcast Holiday Special

Tue, 16 Dec 2025 00:15:00 -0400

What actually makes a Christmas story Christmassy? Is it snow, carols, and Santa… or something deeper?

In this special Christmas episode of Nerd of Godcast, the panel dives into what gives Christmas movies and stories their lasting power. From beloved classics to controversial picks like Die Hard and Batman Returns, we explore why stories set during Christmas often center on redemption, hope, sacrifice, reconciliation, and light breaking through darkness.

Along the way, we play festive games, laugh a lot, and unpack why these themes resonate so deeply this time of year. Ultimately, the conversation points back to the original Christmas story and why it continues to inspire us today.

If you love Christmas movies, pop culture debates, thoughtful faith conversations, and nerdy fun, this episode is for you.

Whether you’re team Home Alone, team Die Hard, or just here for the Christmas vibes, this episode invites you to rediscover why Christmas stories still matter.

Your Wildest Dreams- Lessons from a Spider-Kid on Parade Day

Tue, 02 Dec 2025 00:15:00 -0400

This week, we’re talking about living your wildest dreams and becoming the person you’ve always wanted to be. The launching point comes from a moment caught during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade — a little boy in a full Spider-Man suit watching the giant Spidey balloon being inflated from a fire escape, absolutely lost in awe. It’s a picture of innocence, possibility, and the belief that someday you could be something incredible.

We want to explore that feeling — the way childhood dreams once lit us up inside — and ask what it looks like to recapture that wonder as adults. Are God-given dreams still calling us forward? Have we traded imagination for practicality? And how does faith shape what we dare to become?

This episode will mix personal stories, nerd-culture inspiration, spiritual insights, and honest conversation about how to dream big again and pursue the person God created us to be.

Neurodivergent- with special guest DeAnna Petruch

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 00:15:00 -0400

This episode we talk to DeAnna Petruch, author of KidMin Pocket Guide: Neurodivergent Kids. We’ll talk about some of our favorite characters who are on the spectrum, about how neurodivergence shows up in nerd culture and media, and about what the church can do to better love and disciple neurodivergent kids (and teens and adults, too.)

We’ll also explore how representation can shape understanding, discuss the difference between helpful portrayals and harmful stereotypes, and share practical ways ministries and communities can become more inclusive and affirming.

PLUS—our King of All Nerds: Best Thing Ever bracket marches on, and we throw down a special 2 Question Interview all about Man's Best Friend… his cell phone.

Funny, thoughtful, nerdy, and heartfelt—this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

"Spoopy Season 25" or "How Scary is Too Scary for a Christian?"

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 03:00:00 -0400

In this spooky-fun episode of Nerd of Godcast, the crew dives into the strange tension between fear and faith — why do we spend so much of life trying to avoid fear, yet seek it out for entertainment? From haunted houses to horror games, we explore what draws us to the things that make our skin crawl and how followers of Jesus can be wise about what we watch, play, and enjoy.

Join us for deep thoughts, dumb jokes, and the reminder that God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1:7) — even when the Wi-Fi goes out in the graveyard.

Christians are Crazy -or- How Insider Church Culture Looks to Those on the Outside

Tue, 07 Oct 2025 00:15:00 -0400

Christians Are Crazy — or at least that’s what it can look like from the outside. In this tongue-in-cheek episode of the Nerd of Godcast, we take an honest look at the things church people do that seem perfectly normal to us but downright strange to anyone outside church culture. From singing about blood to raising hands and praying hedges of protection, we unpack the weird, wonderful, and occasionally cringey parts of Christian life — and how we can better represent our faith to a watching world.

We also cast our votes in this week’s Best Thing Ever tournament bracket, sit down with Eric Anderson, author of Dead False Gods, to talk faith and Stargate, and assign what might just be our worst Dumpster-Dive homework of the season.

If you’ve ever thought, “Christians are kind of crazy,” or if you’re one of us and want to laugh at ourselves while growing a little wiser — this episode is for you.

The Best Laid Plans -or- The Art of Making the Best of the Unexpected

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 00:15:00 -0400

We weren't even supposed to be here today... cancelled guest, almost no crew, we don't even have a plan on what to talk about. But somehow things not going according to plan created a path for us to talk about the unexpected moments in our live that God uses to bring growth and fruitfulness.

We talk Star Trek, the Letterboxd App, throw down with this weeks Best Thing Ever and have a good time talking about what was, what wasn't and what might have been.

How to Deal With Distractions and LOOK A SQUIRREL!

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 00:15:00 -0400

This week on the Nerd of Godcast we’re talking all about distraction—how it derails us, why we lean on it, and how it can sneak into our spiritual lives. We’ll dive into the Bible’s perspective on staying centered when everything pulls for our attention. Plus, we review KPop Demon Hunter and Ice Cube's War of the Worlds.

Join the conversation, laugh along, and maybe even find some focus for your own journey.

Plenty of laughs, insights, and nerdy fun along the way.

Let's Do This Again

Tue, 12 Aug 2025 00:15:00 -0400

Here we go—Season 10 begins with a spicy question: why do we keep trying to make certain pop-culture things “a thing” when they never quite work? In “LET’S TRY THIS AGAIN,” the NOG crew riffs on franchises and trends that won’t die—think Sony’s non-Spidey spin-offs (Morbius, Madame Web)—then we ask: If you could fix one, which would you fix and how?

Plus:

• The Season 10 BEST THING EVER Tournament kicks off

• Review: Fantastic Four: First Steps

• A rapid-fire 2 Question Interview

Jesus tells us in Matthew 18:3 that we must become like children to enter the kingdom of heaven—but what does that really mean? We explore:

🔹 Why kids naturally trust, dream, and embrace joy—and how we can, too.

🔹 The connection between identity as a child of God and freedom from cynicism.

Plus, we kick things off with some nostalgic throwbacks and fun childhood memories! So grab your favorite snack, settle in, and let’s journey back to the days of wide-eyed wonder—because the best way to move forward in faith is to look back at what made us who we are.
