Here is a special pre-season episode that I couldn't help but to rush out. In a world where toxic and terrible theology has dominated popular culture, I sat down with my friend and colleague, Jacob Buchholz, to talk about his role on the reality show, The Snake as "The Pastor."

Listen below, on YouTube, or wherever you do your podcast thing.

In this pre-season special, Bruce Reyes-Chow chats with Pastor Jacob Buchholz, a contestant on the new Fox reality show The Snake. They discuss Jacob’s role as a progressive Christian pastor on national TV, the show’s unique social dynamics, and his roots in Deaf ministry. It's an inspiring, thoughtful, and fun conversation about faith, visibility, and what it means to be human—even on reality TV.
