Faith and Fandom : 60 Second Sprints of Spiritual Guidance for Nerds (and “Normies”)

From TikTok's Nerdy Priest comes thoughtful and inspirational reflections on large theological questions through the lens of pop culture. In a series of short, easily digestible questions and answers, Faith and Fandom aims to provide alternative perspective on big theological questions. True to her handle, she draws inspiration from her Ph.D. in Medieval Studies and her favorite books, movies, and shows, such as The Chronicles of Narnia, Star Wars, Star Trek, Ted Lasso, E.T., and more, to deliver relatable, bite-sized sermons in a fun and engaging tone. Following four key themes of Wonder, Faith, Hope, and Love, and with topics ranging from Biblical authority and contradictions, deconstructing and reconstructing Christianity, what it means to love our enemies, and more, Rachel Kessler, offers spiritual reflections to show glimpses of God’s wonder and mystery. She tackles questions about her understanding of the Trinity or the Virgin Birth, how she understands Jesus's crucifixion beyond a substitutionary punishment for our sins, what faith means to her, and more. Meant for people who believe in or struggle with Christianity, either as Christians or ex-Christians, as well as the spiritually curious, Faith and Fandom perfectly combines theology and pop culture as an easy entrance into important spiritual topics.
