That said, a little about this episode! Rebekah was born at an air force base in Florida. She moved to a town of 12K in Missouri in 2nd grade. She grew up in a conservative evangelical setting, being fed all the narratives around sexual purity, gender roles, and more. She was a "good girl" and wanted to become a jazz singer. Her high school principal began to have a highly inappropriate relationship with her (and as it is revealed later, with others). Rebekah eventually moved to Chicago. She ended up going public with her experiences with the principal which caused a lot of vitriol from the community. She started NARC with other religious trauma researchers. We discuss the prevalence of patriarchy in our present mental health resources. We end discussing how psychology is going grassroots.

She took god for granted so when she heard about baptism, she didn't understand why that was necessary. Cassandra deconstructed her faith through her experiences as a parent and a childhood educator. Now her passion is for children. She talks about how there is a lack of respect for children in our society. We deny that these are already fully formed human beings. She recommends giving our children more time to just be. To have their own time, pace, and to be part of a diverse community. She talks about how presently our society bullies and threatens our children. We forgot what it feels like to be a kid. Kids need to feel safe and secure to grow. Children are not silly or uneducated; nor are they constantly trying to manipulate or take advantage of adults. Kids want to do the right thing and please their parents. There's always a reason behind misbehavior. Cassandra and I explore how we as adults can transform the hurt inside us from our childhood and become better parents. . She suggests assuming kids are doing their best. PAUSE before trying to influence a child. Lastly we talk about how to parent yourself, some of that being: HAVE FUN!

    Rhys was born in Guam in a family of 8 children. Their mother died when they were 4 years old. They were taken away from their dad and moved from family to family. Their nomadic-type childhood allowed them to not overly attach to a particular family dynamic and, therefore, according to Rhys, allowed them to more easily process their trauma. Rhys committed themselves to Jesus at the age of 13 and felt loved. They began to feel confused and ashamed of the attraction they felt for others. They began to feel unsafe in their own body. Later, they found freedom while attending college and learning about human development. It broke their heart to lose their faith. Yet liberating as they realized they can now think about whatever they want to AND they can love people without any agenda to change them. Eventually they got divorced from their partner since they wanted to explore their sexuality with others. We discuss how platonic love is unfairly assumed to be at the bottom of the love hierarchy when we believe,... it's the top. We talk about how assigned-female-at-birth individuals are often royally fucked when their relationships end. Rhys discusses why this has resulted in their committing to not love with a sexual or romantic partner. We discuss cultivating large and vibrant communities for ourselves. And lastly, we explore what it's like to be a secular parent. How do we raise our children better than we were raised? How do we hold space for our children's emotions? And likewise, how do we hold space for that child that is still within our own selves? Join us - it's a great talk.

    Pat Green worked as a minister for 16 years before he became a taxi driver. He had joined an Assembly of God church when he was younger, finding mission and belonging, even though his passion for photography was seen as an "idol". He couldn't be himself and so he adopted "personality tofu". Raised by his grandparents from the "silent generation" he inherited their trauma of believing there are just some things we don't talk about. Pat's child came out as belonging to the queer community in 2012 and Pat woke up to that along with seeing Jay Bakker deviate from the standard Christian judgment of that community. Although Pat was growing, those in his Christian community and congregation no longer understood him as he was journeying into affirmation of identities. Pat was tired of everyone having an opinion about his child, so he took a year long sabbatical, got divorced, and stopped believing in 2015. He is now deeply passionate about the rights of the marginalized. His awareness of his own hangups and biases as a cishet white man is one of the things that directly drives his passion. We discuss the essential contributions of all our cultures and photography activism. *** Time Stamps*** 0:55 Monologue 17:57 Announcements24:50 Intro + Interview*****Now that we've begun to process our history with toxic religion, we seek to regain autonomy over our minds and bodies from residual narratives, whether cultural or religious; while working towards respecting and empowering the autonomy of others.

    In this episode, I speak with my friend Josh, who I lovingly refer to as Ben Affleck. Josh was a lonely in high school but found community at his girlfriend's church. Not the first time I've heard about libido-prompted conversions. Learning about health, by the end of high school, he was eventually voted Snowcoming King. He got very involved in his church and spoke with other high schoolers about pledging their purity to their future spouse. He married his Christian wife and had three kids in 1.5 years instead of pursuing missions like they had planned. Around 2016, he started to have serious doubts and stopped reading his Bible. He got sucked into some unethical behavior which eventually opened his eyes to how unhappy he was. He and his wife separated in 2018 before Josh made one last ditch effort to save his faith and his marriage, attending 5 different support groups a week. Once COVID-19 hit and the world stopped, Josh's internal veil was lifted. He got on meds, stopped going to his groups, his depression lifted. In May of 2020, he decided he was done with god, got divorced, and bought his own house. He started getting into post-religious content like Voices of Deconversion podcast, Hawking, and Dawkins, eventually leading him to this podcast and to becoming my friend! *** Time Stamps*** 00:53 Monologue 6:11 Announcements10:03 Intro + Interview*****Now that we've begun to process our history with toxic religion, we seek to regain autonomy over our minds and bodies from residual narratives, whether cultural or religious; while working towards respecting and empowering the autonomy of others.

    Today I speak with Richard who is from the Dominican Republic. I do my best to make this episode in Spanish but quickly find out my Spanish just isn't up to snuff with the kind of shit I talk about these days compared to the love of god when I was a missionary in Mexico. Richard and I talk about how traveling the world can open your eyes and shift paradigms. Join us sometimes in Spanish but mostly in English. :)*** Time Stamps*** 1:00 Monologue 17:42 Announcements21:35 Intro + Interview *****Now that we’ve begun to process our history with toxic religion, we seek to regain autonomy over our minds and bodies from residual narratives, whether cultural or religious; while working towards respecting and empowering the autonomy of others.

    Monique grew up in the Mormon religion. As a child and young adult, her life revolved around the religion. In the church, she dealt with cognitive dissonance, especially with regards to people claiming to be a part of the one and only true church, but engaging in racism, sexism, homophobia and other forms of bigotry, often in the name of God. She left the church when she was 30, and since then has been on a spiritual journey from codependence to autonomy and healing. She is currently at a state of believing everything and nothing, that spirituality is all about our connection with ourselves and others, that our perception shapes our reality, and that in aligning ourselves with the things we resonate with, we will be empowered to do what is best for ourselves, whatever that looks like. *** Time Stamps*** 0:55 Monologue 25:35 Announcements29:25 Intro + Interview*****Now that we’ve begun to process our history with toxic religion, we seek to regain autonomy over our minds and bodies from residual narratives, whether cultural or religious; while working towards respecting and empowering the autonomy of others.

    Rob is from western Canada and was born into a very pious German immigrant family. He could not speak English when starting school, and grew up in a German speaking Evangelical Lutheran church. It consisted mostly of other German immigrants, and involved attendance up to 4 times a week. His school years included a lot of time at church, practicing the violin (and a little piano and trumpet), attending a French Immersion school for 3 years, rec hockey at the local outdoor rink and ultimately completing a Bachelor of Commerce and Masters of Christian Studies. He has worked in variety of roles, including Indigenous education co-ordinator, high school Bible teacher, currency day trader, social justice organizer and musician. A thinker and voracious reader, he started the faith deconstruction process in his late thirties, and has struggled through the re-building process, including a significant breakdown around 4 years ago. This led to a very helpful focus on trauma, and what that means in a living a healthy life. He has been married for 26 years, has a son (18) and daughter (20) and is doing his best to survive Covid with the help of Netflix, his hot tub and a part-time adopted "therapy"-cat!*** Time Stamps*** 00:48 Monologue 28:05 Announcements32:00 Intro + Interview*****Now that we’ve begun to process our history with toxic religion, we seek to regain autonomy over our minds and bodies from residual narratives, whether cultural or religious; while working towards respecting and empowering the autonomy of others.

    Christine is a licensed mental health therapist who hails from Colorado and currently lives in rural Ohio. She was raised fundamentalist evangelical and spent the first decade of her adult life deconstructing her faith. However, she remains fascinated by religion and spirituality. Christine earned her counseling master's degree from a progressive Christian seminary in Indianapolis, where she met her husband and now plays a sometimes reluctant role of a wife of a pastor. They have a one year old daughter. She thinks of Christianity as a cultural marker that has deeply shaped her, and (for now) has decided to own that and do what she can from the inside to move the religion in a more liberty-and-justice-for-ALL direction. She is passionate about the intersections of psychology, religion, and culture. She is working on publishing her first book about religious trauma and faith deconstruction, tentatively entitled Wall to Mosaic: Healing from Fear-Based Religion.Links and social: Website and blog: christinegreenwald.com On Instagram at christineogreenwaldOn Twitter @cgreenwaldwrite*** Time Stamps*** 1:25 Monologue 10:00 Announcements17:45 Intro19:15 Interview*****Now that we’ve begun to process our history with toxic religion, we seek to regain autonomy over our minds and bodies from residual narratives, whether cultural or religious; while working towards respecting and empowering the autonomy of others.

    Episode 41: Wesley David

    Wesley David has lived 2 very different lives, and the only thing that’s held them - and himself - together has been an obsession with music. Growing up in a self-described ‘Wacky, doomsday Bible cult’, the Singer-Songwriter has relied on a love of all things Rock ‘n’ Roll since a young age as an escape - one which would eventually lead him to become a touring musician in LA. Influenced at a young age by the alt-rock and pop of the 90s like Oasis, Nirvana and Radiohead, plus classic and prog rock from the Who to Rush, his whimsical, tongue-in-cheek songwriting style was both identity and escape from the often hopeless and frightening world of an Apocalypse delayed.On his upcoming album Never Late Than Better, which was written and recorded during the Covid-19 Pandemic, he synthesizes thoughts and feelings displaced from a life half-lived as a Christian missionary apologist, only to come full circle into the doubt and reluctant freedom of becoming a skeptic and unbeliever. It’s a journey not without a sense of humor at the unexpected in life, and a playful sense of the absurd....Because what could be more absurd than a hundred drunks shouting Sweet Caroline together at the top of their lungs? Touring work after college was in the form of a Piano bar entertainer, where Wes rose to the top of the scene in the Southwest only to realize how much it eventually jaded him. Across countless shows, he’s opened for K.C. and the Sunshine Band, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, performed at Festivals featuring Journey/Steve Miller Band, and played extensively from places as far flung as Dublin to Las Vegas and the Caribbean. Featured in local magazines and even NBC News, it was a dream job at first for a broke musician. But touring is exhausting; and the old escape back to the optimistic pop-rock sounds of the 90s still held firm.Fast forward to the Pandemic, and priorities changed by necessity. The title is itself an inside-joke referring to the sense of wasted opportunities and years gone by too fast, both due to chronic autoimmune health problems, and performing but not authentically creating. But now Wes is excited and looking forward to a year’s end of live streaming events and full touring for Never Late Than Better in 2021, with venues already lined up. A little older and wiser, and like the penultimate song on the record in fact speaks to - doing something later than you had wanted is still better than not doing it all.Website: Wesleydavidmusic.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wesleydavidmusic/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAA_UkFCrPaPyr3QJpUhLbA SonicBids: https://www.sonicbids.com/band/wesley-david/'Spiritual-but-proud-unbeliever' song on album:https://open.spotify.com/track/5FT9so8Yg4WbhJOkX91TvaFull album - Never Late Than Betterhttps://open.spotify.com/album/3aJuN6LWhXDrSxsIm1PBJAFeatured article in Long Beach Post (Long Beach CA)https://lbpost.com/hi-lo/never-late-than-better-chronicles-wesley-davids-salvationFull Podcast, Diveintodiscussion.com - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dive-into-discussion/id1300304273*** Time Stamps*** 00:52 Monologue 20:41 Announcements28:38 Intro32:12 Interview *****Now that we’ve begun to process our history with toxic religion, we seek to regain autonomy over our minds and bodies from residual narratives, whether cultural or religious; while working towards respecting and empowering the autonomy of others.
