Taxing the Church and Truth v. Fox News EPISODE 12

"Tax the Church!" is an often-heard cry amongst the deconstruction community, but is there good reason to do so? Jeremy, Paul and guest co-host Janice Lagata discuss the nuance of taxing and tithing in American churches. Also, why is Fox News the "CNN" (Christian News Network) of evangelical Christians. The team discusses why truth should be allowed to set us all free again! Thank you for listening to Evangelicalish!

January 6th Anniversary & Moderate Evangelicals
Episode 1
January 6th Anniversary & Moderate Evangelicals
It's been one year since the insurrection attempt at The Capitol. We talk about where we were on Jan. 6th 2021 and play our individual TikTok videos we made on that day. We also discuss the aftermath in the evangelical church and how Jan. 6th was the catalyst for many of us to officially become EXvangelicals. But what about moderate evangelical pastors who have remained silent despite Qanon and other conspiracies flooding their churches? We dive into why remaining silent is problematic.

Episode 2
Ted Cruz Hypocrisy & LGBTQ Christians - Side A, Side B & Side X
In this episode, we discuss Ted Cruz headlines of the week. He had a moment of courage talking about January 6th but completely walked it back on Tucker Carlson's show. He was also in the news recently because of things his daughter said on TikTok. This leads us into a discussion on Christian parents and how they respond to their kids coming out as LGBTQ. We go into the different viewpoints on LGBTQ issues within evangelicalism: Side A, Side B and Side X. We also talk about the phrase "love the sinner, hate the sin" and how it's actually harmful and problematic. We're planning on coming to a city near you.

Pro-Life or Pro-Death? The Texas Border and Death Penalty
April and Paul dive into the thorny issue of how evangelicals reconcile their supposed stance on life with some, well, let's just say troubling recent developments. We'll be unpacking the disturbing reports from the Texas border, the ethical quagmire of the new nitrogen gas execution in Alabama, and how these realities clash with the "pro-life" label many evangelicals wear.

Roe v Wade Roots in Christian Nationalism
Episode 5
Roe v Wade Roots in Christian Nationalism
Rev. Rob Schenck joins April and Paul for a fascinating conversation that takes us behind the scenes of the movement that overturned Roe v Wade, showing the anti-abortion manipulation of Christians to the Evangelical Christian nationalism of today. Schenk, an Evangelical clergyman who has ministered to elected and appointed officials in Washington, D.C. and serves as president of a non-profit organization named for Dietrich Bonhoeffer, can be found in the new Documentary "God + Country." Schenck says that he was part of a group that paid Norma McCorvey (also known as Jane Roe from the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision) to lie that she had changed her mind and become against abortion. Schenck now speaks up to undo the work he used to do after seeing the harm it caused.

Discussing New Research on Religious Trauma
Episode 13
Discussing New Research on Religious Trauma
So often we hear Christians say of deconstructionists "oh they are hurt." Well, turns out scientific research says this is likely true, but ought to be treated as a negative attribute of the American Christian Church, not as an excuse to victim-blame but it. Guest Darren Slade's organization, the Global Center for Religious Research, defines religious trauma as resulting "from an event, series of events, relationships, or circumstances within or connected to religious beliefs, practices, or structures that is experienced by an individual as overwhelming or disruptive and has lasting adverse effects on a persons physical, mental, social, emotional, or spiritual well-being." For more information or to access resources about religious trauma, check out the Global Center for Religious Research website at https://www.gcrr.org/ Darren Slade is a theological historian, systematician, and critical rationalist philosopher from Denver, Colorado. Specializing in historic-speculative theology, theoretical metaphysics, and the socio-political development of religious belief systems, Darren's academic publications include topics ranging from the philosophy of religion, ancient Near Eastern and Second-Temple hermeneutical practices, church and Islamic history, and the psychology of religion.

Taking Off the Tinfoil Hat: Conspiracies in Christianity
Episode 15
Taking Off the Tinfoil Hat: Conspiracies in Christianity
Cynane Shay of Taking off the Tinfoil Hat joins April and Paul for a chat about conspiracy theories within evangelicalism. Cynane is a nuclear engineer living in South Carolina. Her childhood in White Christian Nationalism (Florida-style) normalized conspiracy theories like Obama Birtherism and the Biblical apocalypse; but 2020, with COVID and Qanon, finally made her realize something was deeply wrong. Now Cynane is writing a book, Taking Off the Tinfoil Hat: How Lizard People and Space Lasers Dismantled my Christian Worldview, to process the deconstruction of her fundamentalist evangelicalism and her propagandistic patriotism. Losing loved ones to the pandemic was a tragedy, but losing loved ones to the rabbit hole was its own tragedy and Cynane needed to understand the why. So from Flat Earth to the IBLP cult to Jewish space lasers, she pulled the thread, cracked her faith, and found the inseparable link between cults, conspiracy theories, and American White Christian Nationalism.

Episode 25
SBC Abuse Cover-Up and Evangelical Gullibility
Paul, April and Jeremy discuss the Southern Baptist Convention's decision to have a closed investigation of the more than 700 sexual abuse cases within SBC churches.

So, they discuss the implications of this and how widespread abuse is in churches beyond the SBC. They also talk about the gullibility of evangelicals and how 19 of the top 20 Christian Facebook pages were controlled by foreign troll farms. https://www.relevantmagazine.com/culture/tech-gaming/almost-all-of-facebooks-top-christian-pages-are-run-by-foreign-troll-farms/ The show ends with some improv sermon illustrations.

The Holidays & Dealing With Ultra Conservative Family
Episode 34
The Holidays & Dealing With Ultra Conservative Family
Christian Nationalism seems to be getting worse. This week, it gave a stage to Kyle Rittenhouse who was met with elaborate praise and gave a scandal-ridden ex-president (Trump) a Sunday morning pulpit. It is obviously problematic for many of us, but what do we do with family members who support and celebrate these things? To help us discuss, we are joined by Promise Enlow whose family is deeply involved with Qanon and considered leaders among several prophets who believe Trump is God's chosen. She is also a former worship leader at Bethel turned exvangelical atheist. For fun, we end the show discussing our favorite Christmas movies. We'll be back in January 2022. Happy Holidays everyone.

Jesus Didn't Speak English? Learning from the Aramaic Jesus

Jesus Didn't Speak English? Learning from the Aramaic Jesus
It shocks western Christians sometimes to realize Jesus isn't American and didn't speak English. Neil Douglas-Klotz, PHD has written about Jesus through the language or Aramaic, which was Jesus' actual native tongue. The book is an approach to Jesuss recorded words and teachings to answer many questions clearly and consistently, even if unexpectedly, no matter which Gospel one has in their hands. Paul and Ashley discuss with Dr. Klotz why Aramaics multiple meanings can provide revelation and even transformation through the way of the prophet of Nazareth. It shows how Jesuss deepest teachings address contemporary challenges, such as our relationships with nature and each other, as well as the purpose of life itself.

The Comfort of the Mob or Courage of a Spirit of Christ
Episode 151
The Comfort of the Mob or Courage of a Spirit of Christ
Why do people join a sectarian church community? Or MAGA? Or a mindset group like conspiracy theory followers? It's to gain identity from inclusion in that group. Too often, that group turns inward to become an "us" and soon starts looking to demonize "them" - those who are not us. And once demonization and dehumanization starts of "them," out come the torches and pitchforks and everyone better LOOK OUT! Getting out of the mob is messy and scary and, according to Pastor Paul... totally worth it. Come listen to the Unconventional Conversation. Thank you for listening to Evangelicalish!

Ethics: The story of Jonah, Religious Nationalism, Deportations and MAGA Christians
@UnconventionalPastorPaul talks of how ethical decisions must be made ahead of difficult situations that require a higher level of morality. The lack of such ethical foundations, Pastor Paul argues, are why the Republican Christian view of Immigrants, today, parallels the view of Jonah and people not of his race and religion; and why the god of Jonah's story asked him "How's that feeling of disdain for others working out for ya?"

Just Because You Say No Offense Doesnt Mean Youre Not Offensive
Just Because You Say No Offense Doesnt Mean Youre Not Offensive Weve all heard it and maybe even said it: No offense before dropping a comment thats, well offensive. In this episode, we unpack why slapping no offense in front of a statement doesnt make it harmless, how its often used to dodge accountability, and why words matter more than the disclaimers we attach to them. From church small talk to political debates, we explore how this phrase shows up, the damage it can do, and how to replace it with honesty, empathy, and actual respect. Listen in and lets talk about better ways to speak the truth without causing unnecessary harm. #NoOffense #WordsMatter #SacredRebellion #ChristianDeconstruction #LGBTQVoices #SpiritualAbuseRecovery #FaithDeconstruction #BoundariesMatter #PodcastEpisode #TruthInLove Thank you for listening to Evangelicalish!

My Joy is Your Pain? Navigating Wellbeing in a relationship
Hey beloveds This week, everything were sharing centers around one raw, holy truth: Sometimes, on your emotional wellness journey, your joy will look like betrayal to the people closest to you.

The Meaning of Life... and Other Light Topics: Evangelicalish
The Meaning of Life... and Other Light Topics This week, we wade into the deep end of existence with a deceptively simple question: Whats the meaning of life? Inspired by a fascinating dialogue between an agnostic philosopher, a Christian apologist, and a Hindu psychologist, we explore how purpose is shaped by belief, culture, and consciousness itself. Well wrestle with the Paper Clip Problem can a person live a good, fulfilling life doing something seemingly mundane, like making paperclips every day? What makes meaning real: passion, purpose, or presence? Join us for laughter, insight, and a few existential detours as we ask: What if meaning isnt something we find, but something we make moment by moment, like a thousand tiny paperclips holding our lives together.

The UpsideDown: If MTG Can Change: Can MAGA Christians Repent?
The world is now the UPSIDE DOWN! On this episode, Paul & Ashley look into a world of "Stranger Things," where Marjorie Taylor Greene apologizes on CNN, renounces Trump, admits theres no 4-D chess, and says shes leaving Congress because she cant help people from inside the chaos. Is this real change? A political shift? A crack in the MAGA universe? And the big question: CAN MAGA REPENT?! Could MAGA Christians hear this and actually reconsider their loyalty to Trump, Republican extremism, and MAGA evangelicalism? We explore: Repentance as a change of mind, not a magic prayer Nicodemus, Zaccheus, and biblical examples of unexpected transformation Why some hearts soften while others harden Whether MTG could become the wake-up call no one expected Join the conversation; step with us into the Upside Down and see if Stranger Things can happen. #Evangelicalish #ReligiousRightReligiouslyWrong #postevangelical #UnconventionalPastor #GodIsNOTmadAtYou #MindRenewal #Rethink @UnconventionalPastorPaul #WellBeing #Deconstruction #reconstruction Thank you for listening to Evangelicalish!
