The Faith Adjacency of Touched by an Angel
Erin and Evan are deep-diving the pilot episode of Touched by an Angel, the wildly earnest 90s drama where angels roam barefoot through the desert, deliver emotional monologues, and occasionally make cars disappear. Along the way, we’ll unpack the show’s surprisingly massive cultural impact, the theology of guardian angels, and discuss whether a youth pastor could draw a Wednesday-night sermon from this series.
