The Story
From TikTok's Nerdy Priest comes thoughtful and inspiring reflections combining pop culture and theology--from The Chronicles of Narnia to The Good Place.
In a series of short, easily digestible questions and answers, Nerd Faith aims to provide alternative perspective on big theological questions like how many communion wafers makes one whole Jesus, and whether the Borg from Star Trek are a good metaphor for the Holy Trinity. True to her handle, she draws inspiration from her Ph.D. in Medieval Studies and fan favorite books, movies, and T.V. shows, such as The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Ted Lasso, E.T., and more, to deliver relatable, bite-sized snippets in a fun and engaging tone. Meant for people who believe in or struggle with Christianity, either as Christians or ex-Christians, as well as the spiritually curious, Nerd Faith perfectly combines theology and pop culture as an easy entrance into important spiritual topics.
