I actually really like "Double Take with Tim and April"! Also Tim and April, you should do these live, cause 1) super chats but 2) between you recording and releasing SCOTUS ruled in favor unanimously of the TikTok ban.
I'm atheist, but I love the work you do. I'm a former fundy. I remember in the late 90s when the Christian Nationalists of that day, telling people who would have said the things that you're saying now "you're trying to turn Christianity into a ghetto religion".
Spot on Tim Whitaker and April Ajoy about the Christian theological biblical narrative. People need to realize the fallacy of its legitimacy for the "end times" theology that are constantly promoted by mega church pastors since the 1980's. Israel is an idol for these christians.
Oh my ! I just started watching you today! I’m so glad I am. As someone who grew up in the church and went to Bible college. I thought I was going crazy! I’ve been depressed and anxious for years that I was loosing my Christainity . This nationalism Christianity has me in a tail spin. So glad I found this forum to make me feel more normal again. Thank you so much for saying what others are not! This is great!
dude love your show. I'm a Witch but raised Evangelical and got out of it when I reached the age of reason. I think it was the Army that woke me up. Keep up the great work. Want a Witch on the show, give me a shout
The Daily (NYT)podcast today was a heartbreaking interview with an undocumented woman who has been here more than 20 years, has 2 US citizen daughters, has never broken the law and is going back to the tiny world she lived in during the first trump term. She will not be going anywhere except work & home. No going to the grocery store or CHURCH! Her shades will be pulled & she puts a sign on the inside of her front door telling all not to open the door. She actually would go back to Nicaragua except her daughters would want to go with her and she feels their opportunities would be severely limited. She did apply for asylum and was denied twice,lest anyone think she hasn’t tried to. Worth a listen.
It’s never too late- I didn’t reconstruct until my 70’s. As a child of a pastor I grew up homeschooling my kids as you were. My oldest is apolitical fortunately because she is very fundamental. The younger ones have both helped my reconstruction and benefited from seeing the example of change. Thankyou for your work! It is truly a unique space.
I love these weekly round ups. I love that April and Tim are getting their own show. My suggestion for a name is “If You Know You Know” with Tim and April. Something I would love added to each segment is where you find hope. Or something fun at the end to lighten things. SWAJ does a places a hope at the end of the round ups which is very encouraging. NPR weekly politics round up does a “can’t let it go” at the end of theirs where they share what they can’t stop thinking about from the week. Sometimes it’s politics but a lot of times it’s not. You both make me laugh so much it would be nice to end the show in a light hearted way. Love y’all.
Personal comment of Laura Botten: My son has you beat, April! Catholic School (Pre-K-Gr 1), Public School (Gr 2-3), Homeschool (Gr 4), Christian School (Gr 5-6), Homeschool (Gr 7), Public Highschool (Gr 8-10), Alternate School Program from the Highschool to finish up at his own pace. Every year was a new adventure in trying to get him through. He had a concussion at 18 months and another in Gr 6. He doesn't have a disability other than not fitting into the box they wanted him in. Soooo glad it's over!
Love your videos- you guys work great together! A few name ideas: Let’s Get Real w/Tim & April Let’s Be Honest w/Tim & April and then a few that others have mentioned that are cool: Double Take w/Tim & April The Recap w/Tim & April Keep up the great work!
I just feel so sad that Pete Hegseth doesn't have anyone in his life that loves him enough to tell him that he's in way over his head and there's no way that this will end well.
I am not offering this as a suggestion -- just sharing because we all need a chuckle. The Canadian-based chain restaurant -- Tim Hortons -- offers a snack that is donut holes, and they call them "Tim-Bits." And then, there is a beautiful song by Three Dog Night called "Pieces of April." Now... not the name of the overall show -- but at times when Tim goes on a rant: Tim Bits. And when April goes on a rant... cue the Three Dog Night song. I believe that will really support/reinforce the overall brand. Not a bad thing.
Okay I truly laughed at the Whitle Bit Ajoy name. I laughed out loud which may be because I need more entertainment in my life but honestly that was amazing. Okay but 2- I think The Recap with Tim and April is probably a perfect name, and as some one who voted “meh” on it, I think it’s because it’s just sort of basic/normal vibes, but honestly maybe that’s what you want to get a bigger crowd. It’s not like the type of name people would be like OMG THATS AMAZING so maybe don’t feel like we don’t *like* it, it’s just sort of normal/basic but again maybe that’s a good thing. To me it’s better than just The Tim and April Show. the Recap is cool and it will grow on people. You don’t need a crazy cool creative name- you already have it- the new evangelicals!
I was expecting this to be a goofy episode but there are so many good conversations on the importance of theology within national and international politics
37:52 These are precedented winds in Southern California. I grew up about two hours north of this area and our most devastating natural disasters were wind storms, not earthquakes. I don't know about the wind levels this year, maybe they are worse than recent years. But the Santa Ana winds are a known phenomenon.
I don't think you mentioned this, but all the nominees refusing to answer "hypotheticals"...I have been on MANY job interviews in my life and ALL of them, including McDonald's in college have put forth a hypothetical and asked how I would handle it!
This isn't a typical job hypothetical questions in this situation was dems trying to set him up. Pete is a threat, he is the opposite of the weak military crap.
I’m from Minnesota and we have no snow for the second year in a row. It looks like we should send our snow plows to where you live so your kids can get back to school!
A MAGA friend of mine posted on FB that the Democrats were asking Hegseth really stupid questions. Someone commented on his post that why are they worried about qualifications? Why are they asking questions about his personal life? I have sworn not to respond to anything posted by this friend, but this is really difficult. I mean, this guy--and his friends--are Christians. I want to say that qualifications count, as does integrity. When I go to a doctor, a hairdresser, an accountant, etc., I want them to have the proper qualifications. I also want them to be people of integrity. I'm not going to go to a doctor who has multiple malpractice suits filed against him or her. I'm not going to go to a hairdresser who has an unsanitary shop. This blows my mind. And I know darned well that if this exact scenario was a Republican questioning a Democrat, the tables would be flipped. And Hegseth dodged answering any of the questions with the skill of a practiced liar.
Since he kept saying meritocracy, I wish the dems would have asked this series of questions. how many ranks between major and general? based on merits.. do you think a major should be able give orders to a general? can you explain what companies that you have run? based on merits, do you think. that a person who has run that size business, ignoring whether they were fired or not.. lets say they ran it successfully.. do you believe based on merits that a person who has run that size of a business, would be reasonably able to run an entity the size of the US military?
@@CharlesBronson-w8n of course not.. but what other merit does he bring? did he run a major corporation? nope.. he was. a morning tv show host. thats it. that does not fit the job. so when you look at what he has done, you have to see that it is basically a major ordering around generals. that is just sad and it shows a lack of understanding of merit.
Amen April! On IDK hpw about the way we have idol worshipped.. I wrote it down praying we may have to use it. I am noticing several of these Christians are in a whole different sphere of thinking.. loosing our liberties in religion.. we are not.. they need prayer
Personal comment of Laura Botten: My Christian theology says that we live in a fallen world so we have to endure the consequences of sin. The wildfires are a consequence of living in a world that's not the perfect world God had in mind in the garden, but so is the back in my foot.... this general view means that a simple joke doesn't change what God does or doesn't allow. "Doesn't God send rain on the righteous and the unrighteous?" Same with drought, wildfires, climate change....
Personal comment of Laura Botten: I totally get what Tim's saying about "you don't fight fire with fire" but there are very controlled certain times when you do. In wildfires you burn the fuel in front of the fire to contain the fire and have it run out of fuel. I'm sure we can extend the analogy to understand why countries react with bombs. Quite clearly Israel is out of control, but Ukraine is strategically fighting back with fire. Canada is set to fight tariffs with tariffs. Fun note: My dad fought wildfires and there was a road, which acts as a fire break, where they were supposed to be picked up by helicopter. Problem was, the road was drawn on the map but not built :/
My goodness he has never said he believes he is smarter than women or beneath him. He doesn't believe women should be in combat because they have lowered the standards.
Personal comment of Laura Botten: "longhouse" certainly has a different definition in the States than in BC. A longhouse is what the Indigenous use for meetings. Perhaps it should fall out of use to avoid cultural appropriation. In the Handmaid's Tale the main wife got her finger cutoff for reading, and she wrote the book giving the rules for wives....
It is so sad.. Especially for a Christian type channel and they believe that stuff or get pulled in. Thanks for truth... Jon Weece and I'm from KY too..!! Absolutely has stated and named names when other self righteous preachers... Said the same about New Orleans in 2005.. HE told them that isnt How God works now. He is a good God and He will show up. Like so many people and Christian groups went down there for years and many were saved .
Trump is doing the opposite of meritocracy. He's picking the least qualified people and putting them in jobs they would never get without him. That makes them completely dependent and beholden to him.
She twisted his views over giving women that have fought like warriors a acknowledgement . He doesn't feel women are inferior. He said women are a hindrance in battle and he is right.
The Jerusalem Cross is not a bad symbol. Pete hasn't ever said he was in that church. He doesn't want women in combat roles because they are a hindrance on the battlefield. He never said they don't belong in the military.
Recap show name suggestions: Have You Heard the (Good?) News with Tim and April In the World (Not of the World) Today with Tim and April No Unwholesome Talk with Tim and April Tea and Wafers with Tim and April
I'm curious why you don't think, if America were in fact a Christian nation, we wouldn't have open borders. I think we would. I think we would also give away most of our GDP to the poor nations of the world. And instead of using our military to defend US interests, we would place it in service of the disposessed and those suffering injustice. If we even kept a military at all. People might object and state that America wouldn't be as financially wealthy or as militarily strong if that were the case - which I think is the point. We wouldn't be. I think the way our country uses our wealth and power is our great sin. While I too grew up thinking that America's wealth and power somehow reflected a blessing of God, I have come to the conclusion that our country *is* in the Bible. We are today's Whore of Babylon. We are the empire (be it Babylon, Greece, or Rome) - the Beast of Revelation, as it were. And no, I don't think we are the only country that has ever fit these roles - I just think we are the embodiment of them today. But somehow, Christian Nationalists see America as the "good guys." We aren't. Yes - there are those in this country who do good things. But that is true of every nation. And, yes, we could argue that unlike Russia we aren't (yet) invading a neighbor and unlike Israel we aren't (currently) committing genocide. But we have done both in our short history. We were unequivocally the "bad guys" in those cases. Which one reason why I appreciate you both. You are willing to call us out, when appropriate. And, more than that, you call us to seek to live more like Jesus. And, I fear, in the next four years, we are going to be called to a lot - whether it being defending the poor or the alien, the outcast or the oppressed (which I fear will include the LBGTQ+ population), or those who are pregnant with no viable options available to them. Please keep it up. (I would apologize for the rant / soapbox, but I feel this is a safe place to do that.)
NO DUDE PETE WAS A COMBAT VETERAN FROM AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ, THREE TOURS AT THAT. HE HAS A SPOTLESS MILITARY RECORD AND EVERYONE THAT SERVED WITH HIM SAYS HE IS THE BEST. HIS EDUCATION IS IMPRESSIVE HE HAS TWO DEGREES FROM PRINCETON AND HARVARD.
Adventures in Podyssee with April and Mr. Whitaker

Me too! Secular Humanist here, but I'll join up with any REAL Christian!~
@@timbohpwhat does that mean?
@ What part, real 'Christian?" That would be someone who acted like Jesus.
Omg. The show should be called “The TeA” or “The Weekly TeA” you got Tim Evangelical and April
Oh my god this would be PERFECT
But he drinks coffee not tea (teehee!)
Just here to cast my vote for “A Wittabit Ajoy” 😁
Another vote for The News Evangelicals!
i love this
I like the “The recap, with April and Tim” or even just “the recap” lol it’s short, simple and to the point 🤷♀️

"The News Evangelicals"
+1
My preferred title... The Recap with Tim and April. Simple and clear-cut.
Looking forward to the new podcast regardless of the name.
1:02:58 This is playground tactics lol. “They were kicking the basketball over the fence too!”
Name for new show: The Tim & April Apocalypse Hour (Apocalypse in the real meaning of the word: "revealing")
37:52 These are precedented winds in Southern California. I grew up about two hours north of this area and our most devastating natural disasters were wind storms, not earthquakes. I don't know about the wind levels this year, maybe they are worse than recent years. But the Santa Ana winds are a known phenomenon.
I'd keep it simple and transparent, like you said, "The Tim & April Recap Show."
That preacher talking about the fire has the male version of the Fundie voice
April! Your red lipstick looks fabulous! 💄

Show Name: Double Take with Tim and April or A Closer Look with Tim and April; Love the show; keep up the good work
2:45 I believe in homeschooling so much (not at all) I married a public school teacher 😅😂
Tim and April show I like that one. But I love the Christian Heretics, probably because I have been called that. I wear that like I own it though 😁
God has already passed His judgement on mans sin, at The Cross and has proclaimed man righteous in His eyes, IN Christ. That is The Good News, period.
I’m from Minnesota and we have no snow for the second year in a row. It looks like we should send our snow plows to where you live so your kids can get back to school!

GOD I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂
Im just a Christian that loves America and believes the Bible. Ive never met Christian Nationalist.
Name of show? I liked "Double Take." It's the only name you mentioned that hit me as really good.
Why can't it stay the New Evangelicals?
My goodness he has never said he believes he is smarter than women or beneath him. He doesn't believe women should be in combat because they have lowered the standards.
38:21 the winds and fires don’t coincidentally happen at the same time. High winds and drought cause fires.
Personal comment of Laura Botten: "longhouse" certainly has a different definition in the States than in BC. A longhouse is what the Indigenous use for meetings. Perhaps it should fall out of use to avoid cultural appropriation. In the Handmaid's Tale the main wife got her finger cutoff for reading, and she wrote the book giving the rules for wives....

The only problem with The Tim and April Show is it will immediately be called T 'n A. LOL
I do not tic toc but my husband does. I wish it would be banned so he would stop buying things we dont need.
Trump is doing the opposite of meritocracy. He's picking the least qualified people and putting them in jobs they would never get without him. That makes them completely dependent and beholden to him.
"WTF (What The?! Fridays) with Tim & April"
Reels take 84 years because it always erases what I do!? WHY!?
Hey Tic Toc guy, do you realize that the fires tore through bright red Pasadena? Name for show: Down to Earth with Tim and April.
Why can’t the name be The April & Tim show?
The Supreme Court Ruled Today 9 to 0 that the Tik Tok Ban could go Forward.
my high school class was 800. I like DoubleTake.
Pete was a Major that ran a 200 man platoon. HE MARCHED THROUGH BAGDAD IN PITCH BLACK DARKNESS WITH INSURGENTS EVERYWHERE.
She twisted his views over giving women that have fought like warriors a acknowledgement . He doesn't feel women are inferior. He said women are a hindrance in battle and he is right.
Suggestion: don’t share name for fan opinion. Just announce. This holds true for
naming your kids.
T&A Time - pronounced, "Tea Time"
Wait wait wait - "ChristianiTea w/ Tim and April" lmao
I would LOVE tik tok to be banned. It's the one thing i totally agree with republicans on. It would help society, along with greener policies.
The Jerusalem Cross is not a bad symbol. Pete hasn't ever said he was in that church. He doesn't want women in combat roles because they are a hindrance on the battlefield. He never said they don't belong in the military.
Remember, IQ45 was the first person to say that TikToc should be banned. He is the one that started the whole thing!
