Oh Dear God

"It's all one thing." Summer camp with Giddyup Glen, touring with a Christian band, and the intersection of sobriety and spirituality. What is fear and what is love? Scott discusses it all (and we mean "all") in this episode.

"I was dead to you while I felt my most alive..." Beth talks growing up pentecostal, being overwhelmed by the Bible, how to flirt to convert and emails from your past when you're in a new place.

"Nobody should run out of a church crying and ashamed..." Nina reads her letter and talks about her fear of hell, her thoughts on heaven on earth and what happens when you refer to the Holy Spirit as "it".

Actor and comedian Kale Hills shares his story and reads his letter. He talks home schooling in the Midwest, head knowledge versus heart knowledge and navigating a huge family announcement that changes everything.          

"Let your everyday life be Holy"    Katherine Alyse joins Erin & MeLissa to discuss waiting for God to talk to you, real life Bible thumpers, and finding holiness even in the darkness.

Episode 03 - Zora   Treat people better. Zora joins Erin & MeLissa to discuss the trouble with adapting to cultural Christianity, the church of Uganda and the Apostle Paul's thoughts on Veggie Tales.

Episode 02 - Chanelle "There's not better place to projectile vomit than in front of christians." Chanelle shares her story of growing up in the Bible belt, her personal journey with her own sexuality, the people she notices in her everyday life and the picture of Jesus she got when she threw up in a public place. This is Chanelle's story and we have nothing to add to it. Please send questions, comments and your own letters to OhDearGodPod@gmail.com  

MeLissa and Erin kick off this series with a glimpse of what's to come: history, nerves and letters written to the American Church. They share the truth of how they met, a run down on who Paul is and why he matters so much for this project and what they hope you'll hear in this conversation.
