Purity Cult Podcast

If you've spent any length of time in Christian Men's ministry, you know that sexuality is a hot topic. If you're not talking about work or family, you're most likely talking about how you're struggling with "containing" your sexuality. As a single man, I felt so ashamed about my sexuality.

Purity Cult Podcast

A friend of mine had asked me the question a few weeks ago: "What's it like to believe in a god?"

Purity Cult Podcast

The purity cult of American Christianity: a religion terminally focused on avoiding accountability, abusing the vulnerable, and brainwashing its believers to believe a certain way in order “to be holy.” As a former evangelical of 30 something years, my hope is to talk about these problems candidly and openly in hopes it provides relief to my fellow humans. Whether you’re an atheist, currently or have deconstructed, or a devout believer: I want you to live a full and healthy life. All the love, I’ll see you soon 🙏🙇
