Faithful talk over craft beverages.
The gist
InkleDeux Podcast is a casual Christian conversation show built around the old pleasure of sitting down with a drink and thinking out loud. Its episodes move from Scripture, fantasy, parenting, and immigration to coffee tasting and ordinary work stress without sanding off the personal texture.

About InkleDeux Podcast
InkleDeux Podcast is a Christian conversation show shaped by friendship, craft beverages, and the old idea that good talk can change a person. Its center is theological, but its texture is everyday life. A typical episode may begin with school schedules, work pressure, twin preparations, bedtime delays, or the weather before turning toward Scripture, imagination, duty, or culture. The pace is relaxed. The conversations keep the hesitations, jokes, revisions, and half-formed thoughts that come with people thinking in real time. That informality is part of the appeal. The show is not trying to sound like a pulpit, a classroom, or a debate stage. It sounds more like a standing table where faith, family, books, and beverages all have room to sit together. Episodes on Exodus consider captivity, idolatry, plagues, and what it means for people to rely on God. A discussion of fantasy weighs Middle Earth against Twilight and asks whether imaginative longing can form or distort the soul. Parenting episodes work through sleep, hunger, schedules, consistency, frustration, and the humbling speed of family life. Culture and citizenship enter through conversations about immigration, the USCIS process, marriage-based citizenship, employer-based paths, and the cost of long commitment. Coffee and beer recur as more than casual interests. The speakers talk about palate training, flavor wheels, beer styles, roasting, brewing, and the joy of serving someone a cup that tastes good. That same concern with naming experience carries into the theological material. The show often circles a thought before landing it. It can be funny, rambling, tender, and bluntly self-aware in the same stretch. Its best moments come when an ordinary frustration opens into a serious question about virtue, responsibility, or faithfulness. The final episode adds a reflective note, looking back on years of recorded conversations and the value of trying even when a project ends. For PlayNext listeners, InkleDeux works as thoughtful Christian companionship rather than cleanly packaged instruction.
Made for: Best for listeners who enjoy informal Christian reflection grounded in family life, books, Scripture, work, and friendship. It especially suits people who prefer thoughtful conversation to tightly produced teaching.
What sets it apart: The show’s distinctiveness is its blend of theology, craft-beverage curiosity, and ordinary domestic detail. Big questions about God, imagination, citizenship, and virtue emerge from real-life chatter rather than formal lesson plans.
In their own words
The Inklings used to meet at a pub and have meaningful conversations. Such conversations lead to the conversion of C.S. Lewis from his conversations with J.R.R. Tolkien. Our goal is to be the second iteration of that. We share craft beverages and have meaningful conversations. What is a meaningful conversation? Well, our opinion is that a truly meaningful conversation leads us to Christ.We support these conversations by both consuming and selling fresh roasted coffee.
