Chuck Swindoll - Son of a Preacher, Author of Elucidating Christianity

Chuck and Sarah discuss Chuck's book: Elucidating Christianity, A Heretic's Dissent: Triangulating Dysfunctional Religion (get the Kindle book on Amazon here: https://shorturl.at/knrA7, or listen to the audio version read by Chuck on his YouTube channel at the link below), and we share about our experiences of unraveling our Christian beliefs and what it's like on the other side of leaving the religion. Chuck grew up in a highly influential Christian family and ministry, and leaving his rolls at the church wasn't easy. He shares about what that was like and about his relationship with his beloved father, with whom he shares the same name, and who is a world renowned Christian pastor, teacher, and author.

Leaving Christianity - David Testa's Experience

A conversation with former Christian worship band member, David Testa, as he shares insights about his journey into and out of Christianity. The conversation touches on problems with Christian concepts of hell and salvation, connections between Christianity and codependency, childhood trauma, narcissism, addiction, etc., surviving existential+identity crises, and current spiritual beliefs. We opened more cans of worms than we could fully digest, so keep an eye out for future episodes where we will be getting together again to dive deeper into some of these topics. Recorded at David Testa's home recording studio in Seattle, WA, on March 19, 2023. Intro/Outro song: "River" by David Testa, used with permission. Single to be released soon.
