The Badventist

Returning without the Haystack's backing, what do we want the Badventist to be? What do we need to hear and talk about given the current apocalypses? Bryan's Spectrum article: https://conversation.spectrummagazine.org/t/but-this-dream-seemed-so-real/19909

Finally getting to the women's ordination episode with Logan, Laura, and Koby. We are brave! Follow us @badventism on Twitter and Instagram! Sponsored by The Haystack thehaystack.org

Merry Christmas kids! On this delayed episode of the Badventist, the boys try to set the tone for 2020, summoning the trolls and witches and occultist of Adventism. Be invincible, cast curses, bless those around you. Happy New Year, loved ones! Follow us @badventism on Twitter and Instagram! Sponsored by The Haystack thehaystack.org

Bryan and Anthony rant and cull the emotions from the #GCAC2019. Anthony gets all worked up about non compliance, Bryan tells you why you shouldn't care so much about things. Follow us @badventism on Twitter and Instagram! Sponsored by The Haystack thehaystack.org

With the same crew from the last episode, we endeavor into the religious, political, and phenomenological conversation of psychedelics. Hopefully this conversation might highlight some the rhetorical trends in how Adventists and Protestants approach psychoactive substances and the experiences behind them and hopefully, inspire new better-informed discussions.

Joined by good friend @RachaelDearest, we give an update from the Badventist Book Club! We talk Philip K Dick's novel Valis, mystical experiences, what Adventists stand to gain from science fiction, and an invitation to the next book club installation! R Crumb's comic on PKD's Valis experiences: https://philipdick.com/resources/miscellaneous/the-religious-experience-of-philip-k-dick-by-r-crumb-from-weirdo-17/ PKD's tractate is STILL being transcribed: http://zebrapedia.psu.edu/ Our next book! https://www.amazon.com/Invisibles-Book-One-Grant-Morrison/dp/1401267955/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+invisibles&qid=1566165371&s=gateway&sr=8-1

Our friend Logan Stout (@neverlostout) talks pastoring, seminary, regional conferences, things that can "make Adventism a better institution", and juicy Andrews gossip. Anthony pursues a career in active listening. Bryan struggles through strained balloon metaphors. We are on IG and TW(itter) @badventism

The boys return from a too-long break, revisiting the podcast's goal after a year of casting pods to ya ears. DJ Badventist bares all. The man under the hat speaks out. No one has any business calling it the mother's room unless it's for the sole purpose of alliteration. Is This Thing On - ACF Berkeley: https://youtu.be/6U3XAGem72Y?t=72

Does time have a beginning and apocalyptic end or is it a flat circle like the prophets of True Detective would have us believe? What do apocalypses reveal to us? And how often do they happen? Are there less racist ways of looking at the time horizon? The boys get to it after an apologetically long hiatus. Also, stay tuned for our Badventist Book Club where we're reading Valis by Philip K Dick. We'll discuss the first five chapters on Monday, May 6 at 6 PM PST.

Tori Williams Douglass writes on racism, overcoming religious trauma, and nudity, AKA the ideal Badventist guest. How do we perpetuate the ethos of racism through our religion? How can we break that perpetuation? Also... nudity. Where you can find her: https://www.toriglass.com/ https://twitter.com/ToriGlass https://www.instagram.com/toriglass/

Happy St. Valentine's Day! To close off their recent sexuality trilogy, the boys talk about sex, gender, and, most of all, love. Follow us @badventism on Twitter and Instagram! Sponsored by The Haystack thehaystack.tv/

Last week we griped and groaned about the sexual shame we've grown up with, but in part 2 of our sex talk with mental health rehabilitation specialist and the Badventist's resident sex correspondent Laura Marshall, we venture past the shame and towards the pleasure of liberation and liberation of pleasure. Some articles that have impacted us (well Bryan, who's publishing and writing this description): https://medium.com/@ChrisDonaghue/is-sex-addiction-just-an-excuse-for-bad-behavior-6e3f0595c9a1 https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/a-culture-thats-sick-about-sex-will-never-be-able-to-stop-harassment-and-abuse-2 Follow us @badventism on Twitter and Instagram!

This is the first episode in a short series on Adventism's histories of sex and shame and, hopefully, how to grow beyond them. The boys bring in their good friend Laura, who is a certified psychiatric social worker and woman! Bryan's article that he may have mentioned on this episode but possibly the next? http://www.dailycal.org/2018/02/13/godly-pleasures-christian-god-sex/ Follow us @badventism on Twitter and Instagram!

The boys are back and the hiatus is hindwards! Lightning-hearted light round of questions to kick off Season 2 of The Badventist. We missed you and are glad to be back! Follow us @badventism on Twitter and, now, Instagram! Sponsored by The Haystack thehaystack.tv/

We wanted to know the skinny on what's happening these days in the Adventist Church. So we called the one Adventist eager talk about it to us Badventists. Ryan “The GATEKEEPER” Becker of The Absurdity Podcast with Ryan Becker (THE gatekeeper) waxes poetic and prophesies the road to come. And Bryan talks about caves.

Does Jesus have to be real in order to be Real? Is Jesus propaganda? Joined with our friend and secular correspondent Madhav Soni, we explore and challenge the presuppositions we have when approaching the topic of Jesus.

We interview Lynne McTaggart, writer of The Power of Eight, about a new (old?) theory and practice of prayer, its connection to the early church, and how we can change ourselves and the world around us.

We are led by esoteric scholar and author Mitch Horowitz down a plethora of overlooked rabbit holes. It's an honor to have him on this episode talking about the mad 1840s that gave William Miller and so many others a platform, Satanism, and how we can be mindful seekers as we explore our faith. This episode got long and we had to unfortunately cut some material. But when asked what recommendations he had for those on their own spiritual journey, Mitch immediately recommended the work of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Also, stick around to the end for some #compliance humor! Read some of Mitch's work! https://medium.com/@mitch.horowitz.nyc https://twitter.com/mitchhorowitz

Two fellas talking about the Divine. Is God a deity of love? A psychopathic genocidaire? A gender-bending transcendence? How can garden metaphors help us better understand the divine? We don't answer these questions, obviously. But we end up in a better place to ask them.

What started out as a simple question, "What is the Bible?" led to some weird questions. Does reading the Bible make us artists? What can the Bible be? Does the Bible occur within us? Are we the Bible's dream? Follow us on twitter @badventism Sponsored by http://thehaystack.tv/
