Believe it or not, Season 5 of the Bellator Christi Podcast has come to a close. Even though this is the 5th season of the Bellator Christi Podcast, it is the first since adopting the seasonal and episodic form. On this final episode of Season 5, Brian and Curtis reflect on the past season, noting their favorite moments, while also looking ahead to the Summer Interview Series and the upcoming Season 6 which begins in October of 2022.

1. What were some of your favorite podcasts from Season 5?

2. What were some of the biggest surprises from Season 5? (Something that we took away from the season and/or particular episodes.)

3. What do we have in store for Season 6? (Giving a preview of the series on Pneumatology, Soteriology, and Theology Proper 2.)

4. What do we have on tap for Season 2 of the Summer Interview Series?

Note: We will not have any podcasts throughout the summer with the exception of the Summer Interview Series. We will be back with regular episodic podcasts this October as we look into three major theology series–Pneumatology, Soteriology, and the Existence and Revelation of God.
