Be Afraid - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I have learned so much about the value horror stories, the nature of horror, and writing horror listening to this podcast. I have also learned a lot more about humans, myself included and what it means to “Not Look Away”. To not be repulsed or afraid to look at evil - in order to stand up to it in the world today.

I highly recommend this podcast. I hope there is a second season.

This is a well done podcast examining the intersections between faith and horror. Loved every episode! I appreciated the thoughtful consideration of how horror can indeed help us consider important existential questions, even for thoughtful Christians. I would love to see a second season!

I love that CT is looking at horror movies from a Christian perspective. As a Christian and someone who enjoys the genre, I’ve seen people regard the the two topics as oil and water, so I am very thankful that this podcast exists. It examines the good of recognizing evil and the various forms that fear takes. As is mentioned in the intro episode, we are currently a society riddled with fear and anxiety, I think looking at horror movies is an easy way to start thinking about and addressing our deeper fears and learning how to “fear rightly”. I genuinely get excited when I wake up on Friday and know the next episode is up!

I’m very excited about this podcast because it continually elevates oblique perspectives of faith and religion without being overly religious. Quite a balancing act. I’m impressed with just how many nuggets of wisdom pop out to my mind. Many of which are seeds which might inform a sermon or bible study or deeper appreciation of a frightening movie, book, or benign experience. I’m very pleased with this show.
