Popular podcaster and author Knox McCoy offers readers a
unique blend of humor, Bible stories, pop culture references, and personal
stories that show how asking tough questions and approaching life with a
willingness to reconsider ideas can allow them to grow in their faith.
What would it mean to really examine what you think you know
about yourself and your beliefs? To not just rely on the generic platitudes
you’ve always recited to yourself but to look more deeply into why you
think what you think?
After exploring how pop culture shaped his life and carved
out the foundations of his faith in his debut book, The Wondering Years,
Knox McCoy began to think more deeply about those foundations and how they had
evolved, changed entirely, or stayed the same. The result of this soul-searching
led to a book about the necessity of reexamining our ideas and identities
throughout our lives and how we grow as a result.
In a look back at his own life and the fundamental
convictions—both secular and spiritual—he’s pondered over the years, Knox
deploys his signature self-deprecation and an academic approach of
understanding the absurd, whether discussing the social hierarchy of Sesame
Street or the cultural allergy to participation trophies. Along with
these voyages into the humorous and the mundane come deeply vulnerable
revelations from Knox’s heart as he interrogates his own foundational beliefs.
His stories will encourage readers to think about their own convictions and how
reconsidering them leads to a deeper understanding of what they believe and
why.

About Knox McCoy
Knox McCoy loves
laughing and making people laugh. Really anything that’s laughter-adjacent,
he’s into. He’s also super into the word swashbuckling, and his
dream is to one day use it in a bio.
Knox began podcasting in 2011 as a way to talk more about
popular culture, and to his extreme surprise, he’s still doing via The
Popcast with Knox and Jamie and The Bible Binge.
As a resident of the South, Knox’s heritage is to enjoy
football and barbecue, and he does so with great passion. He also enjoys zombie
movies, police procedurals, and a good Netflix binge.
Knox lives with his wife and three kids in Birmingham,
Alabama, where he works as the swashbuckling cofounder of The Popcast Media
Group.
