  • Deconstructed Non Christian - and I listen to every single one

    I grew up Southern Baptist, and gay, not a good mix for acceptance or good mental health. This show shines a spotlight on everything that is wrong and still maintains the kind of love and mindfulness Christians should be about. I appreciate their brutal honesty and authenticity about both the wrong and the right things happening in religious institutions and/or traditions, and most importantly their fight against Christian nationalism and the immense harm it causes.

  • Thank you

    Election Day, 2016- I cast my ballot and went straight to my car and sobbed in the parking lot. I knew it was wrong but couldn’t put words to it. I love Jesus. I just didn’t know how to make my vote align to my love of Jesus. I have struggled for the last ten years- not being about to verbalize my anger and outrage because I am a Christian. April’s book- Star Spangled Jesus put to words what I was feeling and what has been brewing in my heart. Thank you! I am now listening to this podcast along ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

153. Why the WHITE in White Christian nationalism Matters
Q: Do you all have any advice? Have you found anything that works?
Tamice Spencer-Helms recommends helping people move through shame and grief, using embodied practices and art rather than relying only on abstract knowledge. Jemar Tisby urges replacing colorblindness with color-consciousness and engaging meaningfully with Black Christian traditions and communities.
153. Why the WHITE in White Christian nationalism Matters
Q: Can you kind of explain the importance of using white and what that means, how it's like, because obviously there's not just white people that perpetuate Christian nationalism and white Christian nationalism?
Jemar Tisby explains that the term identifies a system historically organized around white power and benefit. People of color can adopt the ideology, but its defining vision still centers white people; naming whiteness also makes its privileges and assumptions visible.
132. World Cup and 2020 Election Lies: Trump is a Sore Loser
Q: What evidence supports or refutes the president's claims about the 2020 election?
CBS News and independent fact-check segments are cited to show there is no evidence of widespread fraud or tampering, and Trump officials themselves acknowledge the lack of evidence.
117. The Legal Battle Against Christian Nationalism
Q: What is the current legal strategy against Christian nationalism in government workplaces?
The aim is to enforce the separation of church and state by challenging government actors who promote religion in official capacity, using lawsuits, reporting mechanisms, and mobilizing public support to deter coercive religious messaging in federal offices.
113. The TRUTH About Abortion (It's not what you think)
Q: Can you explain what abortion is and what it isn't in medical terms?
Abortion is the medical term for a pregnancy that ends without resulting in a live birth; miscarriages are spontaneous abortions, and elective abortions are a subset that occur by choice, with various methods depending on gestational age. The distinction is important because some terminology used in politics does not map neatly onto medical reality, and understanding this helps clarify policy discussions.
