A Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia possui uma das estruturas organizacionais mais complexas e eficientes do cristianismo mundial. Mas por quê? Neste episódio, exploramos o pensamento de Barry Oliver, um dos maiores especialistas em organização eclesiástica adventista, para compreender como a IASD evoluiu de um pequeno movimento profético para uma igreja global presente em mais de 200 países. Você descobrirá: ✅ Por que os pioneiros adventistas decidiram organizar a Igreja em 1863 ✅ O que motivou a grande reforma de 1901–1903 ✅ Como funciona o sistema representativo adventista ✅ A diferença entre autoridade espiritual e autoridade administrativa ✅ Os riscos da burocracia e da centralização excessiva ✅ Como preservar a unidade mundial sem destruir a diversidade cultural ✅ O papel da liderança representativa na missão escatológica da Igreja Mais do que uma aula de história, este episódio revela como missão, ordem e representatividade formam o DNA organizacional da Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia. Se você é pastor, ancião, administrador, membro de comissão, estudante de teologia ou simplesmente deseja compreender melhor a identidade organizacional adventista, este conteúdo é indispensável.

In this episode of Sunday School Dropouts, host Andrew Kerbs is joined by memoirist and ex-Adventist advocate Melissa Duge Spiers to discuss her book, Holy Disobedience: Sex, Sin, and Secrets in the Biggest Church No One Knows. Melissa shares the incredible twenty-year journey of bringing her story to publication, including a decade where the manuscript sat untouched and the hurdles she faced with major publishers due to legal anxieties surrounding the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The conversation dives into the unique invisibility of the ex-Adventist community compared to groups like ex-Mormons, exploring the deep cultural conditioning that keeps these stories hidden. Through the lens of her memoir, Melissa reflects on the overwhelming reader response from various religious survivors who finally feel seen, while also discussing her appearance on Mormon Stories with John Dehlin.The discussion also digs into the messy, personal realities of writing a memoir and navigating family dynamics after revealing buried secrets. Melissa opens up about the delicate craft of protective storytelling, changing names, and the deeply disappointing conversation she had with her elderly father regarding the book. Looking toward the future, she shares a glimpse into her upcoming projects, including a novel and a true crime memoir tentatively titled Lies Wide Shut. Ultimately, this episode serves as a powerful call for listeners to deconstruct their faith, seek specialized religious trauma therapy, and find peace within life's inherent messiness.Guest Info: Melissa Duge SpiersWebsite: www.melissadugespiers.substack.com Social Media (Instagram) @the.glory.wholeGet Melissa's book, Holy Disobedience here!This podcast is brought to you by the Center for Trauma Resolution and Recovery: an online trauma coaching company whose practitioners are trauma informed and trauma trained to work with individuals, couples and families who have experienced high control religion, cults, and religious trauma.

I revisit the talk with Lance Watson, who is a bodybuilder. He explains why pills fail and how athletes feel when they look like steel. Anna Vocino joins to discuss stores. She exposes fraud in oil and chemicals in spices. She describes how companies use math to hide sugar on labels. I also dive into the history of the food pyramid. I trace roots to a church and explain how the department used guidelines to sell grain. This compilation provides tools to ignore marketing and reclaim health   Key Takeaways The "Easy Button" is a Myth: Magic pills and trendy supplements like SARMs are mostly hype; real results come from the basics and consistency. The Reality of Shredded Steel: When athletes look their best on a magazine cover, they usually feel their absolute worst physically. Olive Oil Fraud: Many big-brand olive oils are cut with up to 40% cheap seed oils or "lamp oil" and colored with chlorophyll to deceive consumers. Hidden Manufacturing Agents: Manufacturers use "slip agents" and anti-caking chemicals to keep machinery running, often without disclosing them on the label. "Nut Facts" Trickery: Labeling laws allow a margin of error that lets companies hide added sugars, such as grape concentrate or turbinado sugar, under the guise of "zero grams". The Food Pyramid Scam: National dietary guidelines were heavily influenced by the religious beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the need to clear massive grain surpluses.   Resources Book: Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil by Tom Mueller.

Melissa Duge Spiers was raised as a several generations Seventh-day Adventist. It wasn't until years later, when she discovered information about her father, who had been both a youth pastor within the Adventist church and a Loma Linda-educated doctor, that Melissa would be called to deconstruct her entire relationship with the organization. “In my early middle age, I found out that my father, during his youth Co-founded by Ellen G. White, who claimed to possess the power of prophecy, the Seventh-day Adventist Church often emphasizes annihilationism (a belief in the Judgment Day) and the second coming of Christ. “Basically, it is at heart an end times cult still,” Melissa said, “It is severely high control in so many ways. And a lot of what they think makes them special, the true remnant, etc., is based on Ellen White, and it's not biblical.” Melissa noted the strict focus on a “great fear of sex” in the Seventh-day Adventist Church's founding. “That was one of the biggest control things, and purity culture, of course, is a control thing. But some of Ellen White's first writings were admonitions for mothers on preventing masturbation in children, in babies, and I know that was sort of a Victorian obsession, you know, very puritanical,” she said. Melissa also noted the association with John Harvey Kellogg and the Battle Creek Sanitarium, which was founded by the Adventists. Of Kellogg, she related, “He was big into the health message, which, of course, Ellen White carried on. But his huge obsession was preventing sex and lust … He himself never had sex his entire life. He was married, but never had children, never consummated the marriage. He was even obsessed with preventing masturbation, or anything like lust itself was the big sin, and so you just had to shut that down no matter what.” She also noted his theories that a high fiber diet, like that found in Kellogg's Corn Flakes, would supposedly help prevent sexual impulses. To this day, many Adventists choose vegetarian diets largely based on White's visions of the proper way to eat. Once Melissa was able to reconcile some of her own trauma around finding out about her father's past, she noted the patterns of abuse cover-ups within the church. “This is an organization that does this. They are practiced at this. This is what they do. And so, I started speaking out on social media,” she said. It's at this point that more abuse victims began to contact her. “At first, I just started saying I was raised in this really weird religion, and people started talking to me, and my DMs would fill up every day. I was abused. I was abused. I was abused. And so, I started interviewing survivors, and I started telling their stories,” she said. After accumulating lists of survivors, she had helped start a mass tort lawsuit through the law group Pintas & Mullins. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

When Melissa learns that her father, a respected pastor, was a serial child predator shielded by the church, her world implodes. But this revelation is only the beginning.From being beaten for resisting a childhood home perm to seducing a forbidden public-school athlete to reclaim her autonomy, Melissa's early years were shaped by repression, shame, and indoctrination. Her escape from high-control religion launched her into a life of risk: Wall Street jobs, New York nightclubs, Hollywood hookups, and a series of abusive relationships. And yet, in these extremes, she was searching. Through self-reflection and finding her voice, and through an unexpected friendship with her father's first victim, Melissa slowly reconstructs the self she was never allowed to know.Holy Disobedience is not just a survivor's tale.

Send a text  Join us for another fascinating episode where our new friends Richard and V shared their experience of leaving the Seventh-day Adventist Church, a movement that was formally organized in 1863 in Battle Creek, Michigan. The church grew out of the failed Millerite prophecy of 1844 and was heavily shaped by the writings and authority of Ellen G. White, whose teachings still strongly influence doctrine and culture.The couple explained that during 2020 and the COVID pandemic, the isolation created space to question beliefs they had long been discouraged from examining. As they studied church history and doctrine more critically, they began to recognize patterns they described as cult-like: elevated prophetic authority, fear-based end-times teachings, pressure to conform, and a tendency to frame doubt as spiritual failure.Today, the church is governed globally by the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, currently led by Erton C. Köhler. While it presents itself as a mainstream Christian denomination, the couple felt the organization's control over members' beliefs, lifestyles, and information created an unhealthy spiritual environment.Leaving was not easy, but they described it as liberating—allowing them to reclaim personal autonomy, re-evaluate faith on their own terms, and step outside a system they no longer believed was rooted in truth or transparency.
