Descripción

Are we putting the Almighty Dollar before the Almighty? In this episode of The Skeptic and The Disciple, Dr. Mike Litman and Megan Martinez dive into the First Commandment—"Thou shalt have no other gods before me"—and explore what that really looks like in modern life. It’s easy to think of "other gods" as golden statues, but today, it usually looks a lot like money, status, or even polarizing political figures. Mike and Megan discuss the endless cycle of chasing wealth, the illusion of "having enough," and how easily we can lose our perspective on what actually matters. Plus, we cover a few hilarious detours: Mike’s quantum computing presentation at a nursing home, his questionable grocery shopping habits (75% off potato salad, anyone?), and an incredible story about using a quantum computer to help a church pick their next pastor without human bias. Join the conversation in the comments! How do you determine when you have "enough"? How do you find peace with what you already have without constantly chasing more? 🔔 Don't forget to Like, Subscribe, and hit the Notification Bell so you never miss an episode! 🌐 Learn more and explore our research at: www.quantumdisciple.com [http://www.quantumdisciple.com]

The Power of Conviction | The Skeptic and The Disciple

As tensions between the United States and Iran dominate the headlines, Megan and Dr. Mike explore a timeless question: What gives someone the courage to stand firm when everything is on the line? In this episode, they discuss the power of conviction, the difference between cultural belief and genuine faith, and why history has repeatedly shown that military strength alone doesn't determine the outcome of a conflict. From current events and biblical principles to lawn tractors, allergies, and everyday life, the conversation blends thoughtful discussion with lighthearted humor. What does it truly mean to stand firm in your beliefs? Can conviction overcome fear? And how should Christians respond when the world feels increasingly uncertain? Join us for another episode of The Skeptic and The Disciple Podcast—where faith, logic, and funny business come together.

When Evil Looks Ordinary

What does evil really look like? Most people imagine evil as something obvious—villains, crime, or headline-making scandals. But what if evil is far more ordinary than we realize? In this episode of The Skeptic and The Disciple Podcast, Mike and Megan explore how deception often hides behind everyday appearances. What starts as a discussion about jury duty and a bizarre sovereign citizen court case quickly turns into a deeper conversation about scams, corruption, manipulation, human trafficking, celebrity culture, and the ways people become desensitized to wrongdoing. From cryptocurrency scams and internet fraud to questions about morality, responsibility, and human nature, this episode examines how ordinary people can be tempted, deceived, or influenced in ways they never expected. When evil looks ordinary, discernment matters more than ever. Faith. Logic.
