Breaking Bad Faith: Honoring Michael Camp's Journey
Michael Camp was an Evangelical Missionary in Africa for seven years and fully immersed and devoted to his beliefs. After a crisis of faith and some serious doubts, he began deconstructing about 20 years ago. Today, Michael has written books, hosts and produces a podcast called Spiritual Brewpub and helps others through deconstruction with his Coaching business. One of Michael's biggest passions is helping people understand that Jesus' message was not a retributive one, but a loving and kind, yet firm message of acceptance and love. His passion is to help others develop a healthy, deep spirituality without violence and fear that is so prevalent in so many Evangelical spaces. You can find his book, Breaking Bad Faith, on Amazon. Find out more about Michael and his podcast, Spiritual Brewpub here. To get on the waitlist for this Fall's Religious Rehab, please email Leslie at leslienease@gmail.com !

The New Evangelicals: Honoring Tim & Sarah Whitaker's Journey
Episode 21
The New Evangelicals: Honoring Tim & Sarah Whitaker's Journey
Today we honor the journey of Tim and Sarah Whitaker! Tim started The New Evangelicals back in 2020 and Sarah is his wife, who has been a real encouragement to him along the way (and sometimes she makes appearances on TNE videos). I wanted to hear their journey together as a couple going through deconstruction. Their story is one that I think we can all learn from, as they weren't always on the same page theologically; however, their marriage not only survived, but thrived! If you are someone who may not be on the same page as your spouse when it comes to theology, this is a must listen! If you want to help me raise money for The New Evangelicals, here is a link to do so: Over the Edge Celebrity Weekend for The New Evangelicals To learn more about The New Evangelicals, you can visit their website !
