  • Thank you so much

    I just finished reading your book How to Survive a Shipwreck and then listened here. I am captivated by how you are willing to share your journey honestly and openly which is the only way that sharing can be useful. I’ve already shared your book with 2 others. Although my most recent shipwreck is a few years behind me, I found myself high-fiving so much of what you said. It was like a moment of putting many puzzle pieces into place. Our Father is so good to do that! Again, thank you, and please,... more

  • Thank you, friend.

    All I can say is thank you Jonathon for your bravery and authenticity in wrestling with these things. This road can be a hard and lonely one, but knowing there are likeminded fellow travelers helps keep the mustard seed of faith.

    What a great conversation with Brad Jersak and you and the other Jonathan. I’m passing this on to others. Brad’s prayer at the end was the most healing moment I’ve had in a long time. Keep it coming. The razors edge is getting duller.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

politicized by tenderness, with adrienne maree brown
Q: How do you find tenderness in addressing harmful actions?
I find it vital to approach harmful actions with understanding and a desire to connect rather than isolate.
typecast: answering your questions!
Q: Do you see any glimmers of hope for the Pentecostal Church at large?
Institutionally, no. Culturally, there's a shift towards a more inclusive gospel happening outside the institutions.
on sex and speaking in tongues with Dr. Andrew Newberg
Q: What do you think is the significance of societal structures in belief systems?
Societal structures can create hierarchies that influence political and religious beliefs, with a risk of following harmful ideologies.
on sex and speaking in tongues with Dr. Andrew Newberg
Q: Where did your search begin for exploring the transcendent through your work?
It began with a confusion about why people believe different things, leading to an interest in the brain as a logical starting point.
on sex and speaking in tongues with Dr. Andrew Newberg
Q: What do sex and speaking in tongues have in common from a neurological perspective?
They activate many of the same brain areas, since both involve feelings of connection and ecstasy from emotional and sensory processes.
