This week we allow Clint to geek out over words, language, and their origin. We uncover common terms we may throw around or hear today and where we can see their roots found in scripture. Though all of these are attributed to the bible or Judeo-Christian culture, the origins of some of them are uncertain. But one thing we do know is that there are huge parts of modern languages that only exist because of Christianity. #WelcomeToTheAdventure

Sometimes God speaks through random chance encounters. This week's episode comes from a conversation that resulted from one of those encounters. Join us as we break down a couple of songs by Metallica and see what they show us about Salvation History and how they point to Christ. The word 'Gospel' literally means 'Good News' and though it may not seem like it, the dark and heavy messages in this song actually lead us to a story full of hope and light centered around Christ himself. #WelcomeToTheAdventure

Making a deal with the devil is such a common story trope that the phrase has even made its way into the modern English language and pop culture. This week we discuss two of these stories; the video game 'Cuphead' and the country folk song "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." Join the discussion as we break down the obvious, and not so obvious, moral consequences of these famed deals. #WelcomeToTheAdventure
