The Compass Chronicles: Faith, Fandom & Life Podcast
The Compass Chronicles: Faith, Fandom, and Life
Hosted by Javier
Welcome to The Compass Chronicles Podcast—where faith meets fandom, life gets real, and every step of the journey points us back to something bigger. I’m Javier, and every week I’ll be your guide through meaningful conversations that connect Scripture, culture, and the everyday questions we all wrestle with.
This isn’t your average faith podcast. We’re digging deep into the Bible while also exploring the movies, music, comics, and anime that shape our thinking. From exploring identity and purpose through the lens of the Gospel to unpacking the spiritual themes in your favorite fandoms, this show brings you honest insights, thoughtful theology, and a lot of heart.
We aim to question clichés, pose significant questions, and facilitate respectful, Christ-centered discussions—as truth and grace should never be separated. So if you’re ready for faith that engages your whole life and worldview, hit subscribe and join the growing community of thinkers, believers, and curious minds on The Compass Chronicles.
