Hi, this is Against Everyone with Connor Habib, a podcast featuring my conversations with countercultural figures and presenting complex, spiritual, philosophical, and political ideas in an engaging and accessible way.

Well, friends, this is the last episode in a series on esoteric Christianity for now.

The topic certainly comes up on its own on the show in all sorts of
