About This Episode
Buckle up, everybody. The next three episodes of the Austin & Matt Podcast are going to be absolute barn burners. Episode 1: Derek Lambert — host of MythVision, diving deep into the roots of ancient Christianity, hidden scriptures, and how questioning his faith led him to a new understanding of truth. Episode 2: Neal Sendlak — from Gnostic Informant, exploring spirituality, consciousness, and rediscovering meaning beyond dogma. Episode 3: The Campfire Session — all four of us sharing stories about belief, loss, and rediscovery. Both Derek and Neal once devoted their lives to Christianity. Now, they’re exploring truth from a different lens — still spiritual, still searching, but without fear. This trilogy isn’t about losing faith. It’s about finding truth through curiosity.

Buckle up everybody. The next three episodes of the Austin podcast are about to be barn burners. First up, we have Derek Lambert of the Myth Vision YouTube channel. He's got about 300,000 subs. Second, we have Neil Sendlac of the Gnostic Informant. And third, we do a campfire sitdown with all four of us where we get to kick it for a little while and some some crazy stories come up. So, all of these episodes are standalone. You could listen to one, two, or three. It doesn't matter. But if ancient Christianity and ancient texts is kind of an interest for you, I think you're really going to like all three. And the reason that I like these guys, spoiler alert, they're not Christians any longer, but they were Christians before. And I found that if you grew up in a Christian household and you find out about somebody who was a Christian and now no longer is a Christian, there's this cognitive dissonance that hits where you tend to other them. You tend to say, "There must have something must have happened. What happened?" Right? And so I wanted to ask them, "What happened? Because to me, my God of the universe takes on all comers. He's not afraid of information. He's not afraid to find out what happened. In fact, if you're the champion of the universe, you say, "Go steal man everything. Go learn all the information you can." Why? Because I created all of it and I'm in charge of all of it. He doesn't say, "Don't look behind the curtain, Dorothy. Don't listen. Don't look there. I'm Oz the Great and Powerful." It's very insecure. And honestly, to me, it's tanamount to book burning, which has been done in the past. And I disagree with I think that more information is always better in these kinds of situations. And these guys know some information. They fall asleep reading ancient scripture on a regular basis. They've been studying it for over a decade. And they read in Greek, they read in Hebrew. Um they know all the church fathers like their pen pals. Like it is unbelievable to hear their stories. And so I was fascinated. I was riveted. I didn't know 90% of the stuff that they're talking about. And also it gets what gets interwoven is their story. They're both former drug addicts. Derek is 10 years sober and now he's married with a kid and he's loving life and he's doing a great job I think at pursuing truth. So I really hope that you enjoy these episodes. I certainly enjoyed talking to these guys and I think they're wonderful people. Welcome to the Austin and Matt podcast.
