  • Relationships, Rewards, and Regret in Heaven?
    2025/06/04

    In this episode of Theology is Fun, Dr. Corey and Dr. Ben continue their deep (and often hilarious) dive into the doctrine of heaven. Will we have relationships in heaven? Will we remember our lives on earth? Will there be awkward family dinners or procreation? Can you get kicked out of heaven? And what language will we speak?From glorified bodies to eternal rewards (or not), and from covenant curses to Blackwing pencils, this episode unpacks what the Bible teaches and what it doesn’t about the eternal state. With real theological depth and plenty of laughs, this conversation is full of gospel hope, doctrinal clarity, and that signature blend of humor and heart you’ve come to expect.Watch our full Sermon Series about Heaven here: https://youtu.be/O2KkVL5qvv0Listen on Apple Music - podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/theology-is-fun/id1808965100

  • What Does Heaven Look Like?
    2025/05/28

    What will our resurrected bodies be like? Will we eat in heaven and if so, can we expect ribs, brisket, or maybe just bacon bits? In this hilarious and thought-provoking conversation about heaven, Dr. Corey and Dr. Ben explore the theology of the new heavens and new earth.

    From Revelation’s imagery of gates and walls to the nature of work, rest, rewards, and even eternal exploration, this episode digs deep into the realities and mysteries of eternity. Whether you’re a seminary student or just curious about the afterlife, this episode brings truth with a smile (and a side of smoked meat).

    Topics include:

    • What our glorified bodies might look like
    • Will we eat, sleep, or work in heaven?
    • Sacred space and Revelation's symbolism
    • The purpose of hell in God’s plan
    • How eternity reframes justice, beauty, and worship

  • Angels, Demons, & Satan - Part 2
    2025/05/21

    In this episode of Theology is Fun, Dr. Corey and Dr. Ben dive deeper into the unseen battle between angels, demons, and Satan and how God's power and plan remain sovereign over it all.

    From the story of Job to the wild scene with the Sons of Sceva, they unpack how the enemy’s attempts to frustrate God’s purposes actually fulfill them. You’ll laugh, you’ll think deeply, and most importantly, you’ll be reminded that Satan is not omniscient, omnipresent, or unbeatable. Jesus already won.

    What we cover:

    • How Satan operates within God’s permission
    • Why demons don’t have the final word
    • Why suffering doesn’t mean God’s not in control
    • Encouragement for believers battling difficulties
    • And what happened if you left a fight without your pants


    If you’re in a season of grief, struggle, or just trying to make sense of the world’s brokenness, this one’s for you.

  • Angels, Demons, & Satan - Part 1
    2025/05/14

    Do you have a guardian angel? Do angels actually have wings? And did Satan ever rule hell?

    In Episode 5, Dr. Corey and Dr. Ben pull back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood (and most dramatized) topics in all of theology: the unseen realm. From Hollywood myths to biblical truth, they explore what Scripture really says about angels, demons, and Satan, including how these spiritual beings function, how they fell, and what that means for us today.

    You’ll laugh and learn, as they break down:

    • The three types of angels: messengers, seraphim, and cherubim
    • The role of guardian angels (and if they're real)
    • The cosmic fall and the rise of Satan
    • How demons differ from angels—and how they still operate today
    • Why Satan never ruled hell
    • And how God is still fully sovereign over all of it

    Whether you’re an “angel on every corner” kind of person or someone who’d rather not think about spiritual warfare at all, this one’s for you.

    Don’t forget to subscribe and join us for Part 2, where we’ll talk about the visible effects of invisible conflict—and how God’s purpose still wins.

  • Dances with Wolves Meets Jurassic Park: The Return of the Dire Wolf
    2025/05/07

    What do dire wolves, Jurassic Park, and the Book of Genesis have in common? More than you'd think.

    In this episode, Dr. Corey and Dr. Ben sink their theological teeth into the wild world of DNA manipulation, extinct creatures, and whether bringing dire wolves back from the dead is ethical or biblical. From LL Cool J quotes to dominion theology, we explore what it really means to be made in the image of God and where humanity’s role begins and ends when it comes to creating life.

    Should we recreate extinct animals? What does "dominion" actually mean? And are Frankenwolves just a really bad idea?

  • Pyramids, Realms, and Aliens: How the Bible Explains It All
    2025/04/30

    Did Aliens help build the pyramids? In this episode of Theology is Fun, Dr. Corey and Dr. Ben tackle wild theories about aliens, the pyramids, and humanity’s age-old attempt to bridge the material and immaterial realms.

    We dive into the Bible, from Eden to the Tower of Babel to Jacob’s Ladder, showing how God's plan to reconnect heaven and earth was never through human effort (or aliens) but through Christ alone.

    Get ready for a fun and Christ-centered exploration of:

    👉 Why humanity keeps trying to bridge heaven and earth

    👉 What the pyramids (and ziggurats) were really about

    👉 How Jesus fulfills the heavenly bridge that mankind could never build

    👉 And yes... a few jokes about roller skating, jorts, and yoga along the way.

  • The Pope and His Pastor: A New Perspective on the Resurrection
    2025/04/23

    Did Jesus walk out of the tomb quietly?

    In this episode, Dr. Corey Abney and Dr. Ben Skaug respond to a controversial Lenten reflection from the Papal Preacher, who describes the resurrection of Jesus as "not a triumphant display of power, but a quiet act of love." Pastor Corey and Pastor Ben unpack why this framing creates a false dichotomy between love and dominion—and risks redefining the resurrection altogether.

    Why does it matter that He rose in power, and what’s at stake if we downplay that victory?

    With Scripture, history, and (yes) a little ping pong banter, the conversation moves from Genesis to Revelation, Colossians to Corinthians, exploring how Christ as the Second Adam crushes the serpent, defeats death, and secures eternal victory for the redeemed.

    This isn't a quiet episode. It's a clear call to recover a full-definition resurrection-bodily, powerful, victorious, and loving.

  • What Mel Gibson Missed in The Passion of the Christ
    2025/04/16

    Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ was graphic, intense, and unforgettable, but did it portray the true suffering of Jesus? In this first episode, Dr. Corey Abney and Dr. Ben Skaug explore what Scripture reveals about Jesus’ greatest suffering—and it wasn’t physical. They dive into the weight of sin, the wrath of God, and what really happened on the cross.
