Today on Honoring the Journey, we chat with Stuart Delony, a former pastor turned satirist and creator of the "Snarky Faith" podcast and column. Stuart shares his colorful journey from growing up as a Southern Baptist kid whose mother took him to tent revivals seeking healing for his disabled sister, through 20 years of ministry marked by constant questioning, to his current work using humor and satire to examine faith and deconstruction. Leslie & Stuart touch on the absurdity of end-times theology, the trauma embedded in evangelical culture, the importance of self-care during difficult times, and how laughter can be a powerful tool for healing. Stuart's new book, "The Tribulation Survival Guide: How to Stay Alive When Everything Else Is Dead," uses satire to hold up a mirror to the anxiety-inducing escapism of rapture culture, while the conversation itself offers a refreshing reminder that sometimes we need to step back, laugh, and focus on what we can actually control—loving people right in front of us.Check out Stuarts new book, The Tribulation Guide on Amazon HERE!You can read his content on Patheos HERE.Key Points of Interest:• Stuart's early "BS meter" developed from being dragged to tent revivals and faith healers as a young child • How seminary education "ruined" him for traditional ministry by teaching him to actually read the Bible critically • The church plant in a bar that welcomed atheists and created open discussion spaces • His satirical book mocking end-times theology and the rapture culture that creates distance from present-day love and action • The parallel deconstruction journey he shared with his wife, which drew them closer together • Why end-times obsession is really about escapism and keeps people from caring about the environment, neighbors, and real-world issues • The importance of laughter, self-care, and stepping away from constant outrage in our current political climate • Setting healthy boundaries with family members while still honoring them "from a distance" Honoring the Journey is hosted, produced and edited by Leslie Nease and the artwork for the show is also created by Leslie Nease.Want to get updates/announcements and a FREE Deconstruction Journaling Prompt PDF?

In this powerful conversation, Dr. John Delony breaks down why love doesn't feel safe for so many people — and how unresolved trauma quietly shapes our relationships, attachment styles, and emotional responses. We talk about why people crave connection but pull away when love gets real, how the body remembers past pain, and why your nervous system may be trying to protect you even when nothing is “wrong.” Dr. Delony explains how childhood experiences, loneliness, anxiety, and emotional wounds show up in adult relationships — often without us realizing it.The Journey Podcast Merchhttps://thejourneypodcast.shopEXCLUSIVE AD FREE EPISODEShttps://www.patreon.com/c/TheJourneyPodINSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/zacharycummings_https://www.instagram.com/thejourneypodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/johnscafiddijrhttps://www.instagram.com/johndelonyTik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/thejourneypodcast__#DrJohnDelony #Relationships #TraumaHealing #LoveAndTrauma #AttachmentStyles #MentalHealth #EmotionalSafety #HealingJourney #RelationshipAdvice #Loneliness #Anxiety #TheJourneyPodcast
