  • I’m not alone in my feelings

    Such a great podcast. They intellectually and respectfully discuss so many different issues. The paradox of Christians and today’s Republican Party are something I can’t wrap my brain around, and to find another group of people who feel the same way feels like a soft landing spot

  • Love this podcast!!

    This podcast is such a breath of fresh air! After becoming so disillusioned with how American evangelicals were rallying behind Trump (who is completely the opposite of every Jesus taught- let’s be honest), I felt completely alone in my questions of how this could have happened.

    I love these hosts and I so appreciate their vulnerability, their ability to find humor in hard things without minimizing pain, and their candidness about what is taught in evangelical churches.

    I found a place where... more

  • Love it!

    I have been listening to Evangelicalish for a few years now. My deconstruction journey started at a similar time and I find so much encouragement from all of the hosts. Thank you for great content always!

  • Excellent Podcast

    I was raised as a conservative evangelical Christian (fundamentalist) and attended an IFCA church growing up. I was all-in - passing tracts out at malls, witnessing, attending a Christian school and being a leader in both my church and my school. I attended Bible School and was planning to be a missionary or pastor. I stopped attending church in my early 20s and began a life long process of deconstruction (although at that time - mid 1980s - the word deconstruction was never used). Now almost... more

  • Great show!

    Evangelicalish feels like a safe place. It has helped me so much as I separate what God says and what society says God says. Thank you Evangelicalish crew for creating this community of acceptance and love.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can Paul Survive MAGA? Ashley Breaks Down Paul's Guest Spot on Rightwing Radio
Q: What did you learn from the local conservative radio interview you participated in?
It turned out to be a good exercise in dealing with my story in a less than friendly environment, and although the host's approach varied from kindness to misunderstanding, I felt it was a valuable experience to navigate those discussions.
Jesus Didn't Speak English? Learning from the Aramaic Jesus
Q: If we could sit with Jesus today, like would he seriously say, no, I'm not a Christian?
Christianity is a later organizational thing, and Christianity doesn't own Jesus any more than other organized religions own their prophets.
Jesus Didn't Speak English? Learning from the Aramaic Jesus
Q: How did you get to this place of starting to write about Jesus and trying to understand him from the vantage point that he was not an English speaker?
My work has been to show how what Jesus is talking about in the gospels are really a very viable path, but not a viable organized religion.
Regrets? We've Had a Few. Q&A with P&A
Q: Name a significant light bulb or aha moment in your deconstructing journey.
A moment during pastoral training where I realized that what I was taught about the Book of Revelation was fundamentally wrong.
You Lied to Me About God! Dr. Jamie Marich on Spiritual Pilgrimage
Q: What is happening in our society with trauma and why do we not talk about it more?
We have to understand that trauma just means wound and we have all been wounded in one way or another in life.
