Thousands of people have been taught forms of Christianity that led them into more bondage than freedom. Why do we feel like we have been enslaved by the truth when it's supposed to set us free? Join your hosts, Joe and Rachel Tenney, as they discuss how to fight disillusionment, and move forward in the hope of Jesus Christ. This is the Control Freak Christianity podcast.

Why are we called Control Freak Christianity and why are we here?
We recognize the reality that there are control freaks who love to use the name of Jesus and His church for their own selfish purposes. It's all over the Bible, though it's rarely ta... more

I genuinely enjoyed the podcast and the hosts discussing the flaws in authoritarian and fundamental sects of Christianity. However after listening to new podcasts is evident the hosts are racist at best, homophobic, and M_A_G_A. The husband also give hints of believing in red pill and manosphere ideology. It’s clear they “left” fundamentalism but still retain all of its values. God is love and Jesus came to save all, not just white evangelicals with white picket fences and 2.5 kids. Hating your ... more
I haven’t listened to most of the episodes, only about five from a variety of release dates. This podcast has an important premise and is hosted by two sincere-sounding people.
Two points come up repeatedly as I’m listening: first, the hosts often allude to circumstances without giving a detailed set-up of the topic under discussion. This leads to a vagueness of subject that is hard to invest in as a listener. The vagueness extends to not giving a concrete detail about the vague subject, which... more
Excellent podcast! Thorough, compassionate and full of biblical truth.
They run a Facebook group and allow favorites to post offensive memes. When asked about it, they shrugged off the concern and then removed me from the group. Unfortunately, people recovering from abuse sometimes tolerate triggering behaviors. They likely mean well but attempts to reach out were ignored. They allowed one person’s laughs to hurt others. Overall, the group demonizes entire denominations rather than recognizing that abusive churches happen everywhere. My advice: don’t trust them.
Thank you Joe and Rachel for bringing to light some really difficult subject matters within the church. This is a very serious issue that unfortunately drives people away from Jesus, not towards Him. This is heartbreaking for me, but this podcast gives me hope that change can happen in the church and people can trust Jesus in their walk of suffering. Again, thank you.
