689: The Rapture, Repentance, & Redefining the Good Life with Grace Hamman (Ad-Free)

Listen to this episode from Holy Post Plus Podcast Feed on Spotify. After a South African pastor claimed that Christ would come for his church on September 23, TikTok became rapture obsessed. Mike Erre joins Skye and Kaitlyn to discuss our ongoing fixation with this bad theology, why people get caught up in rapture predictions, and how it damages the credibility of the faith. Kaitlyn talks to Medieval scholar, Grace Hamman, about her new book, “Asks of Old Paths.” Hamman says Medieval literature is rich in wisdom for modern Christians on how to define a good life, using the language of virtues and vices. Also this week—a secular writer examines the benefit of confession and repentance, which makes us wonder why so few Christians practice it.Holy Post Plus:Ad-Free Version of this Episode:https://www.patreon.com/posts/140119354/Links Mentioned in News Segment:Rapture Last Week!https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/a/jadegomez510/the-rapture-2025-tiktokPsychological Value of Repentancehttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/21/briefing/the-psychological-value-of-repentance.htmlOther Resources:Ask of Old Paths: Medieval Virtues and Vices for a Whole and Holy Life by Grace Hamman: https://a.co/d/6WRgTtuHoly Post website: https://www.holypost.com/Holy Post Plus: www.holypost.com/plusHoly Post Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/holypostHoly Post Merch Store: https://www.holypost.com/shopThe Holy Post is supported by our listeners.
