Who the Hell are the Gideons?

May 7, 2026 · 40 min

Show notes

What’s the deal with the Bibles in all the hotel rooms? In this episode, Erin and Evan are deep-diving the Gideons! You’ll learn about the traveling salesman roots of the organization, where the name comes from (kind of), and, of course, the controversies! Do they do more than just mysteriously place Bibles, and what’s been the impact of the organization? You’ll have to listen to find out!
