Summary In this episode, Tim responds to a video from an Instagram channel called Leading Second that asserts the belief that if you don't believe the Bible is true, you have no place in leadership. Tim unpacks the loaded statement and explores the concept of a biblical worldview. He challenges the idea of the Bible being infallible and examines the flawed logic behind it. Tim also discusses the different portrayals of God in the Bible and the need for interpretation and contextual understanding. Takeaways The belief that if you don't believe the Bible is true, you have no place in leadership is a loaded statement that lacks nuance and ignores different interpretations of the Bible. A biblical worldview is often defined by specific verses that align with conservative political views, rather than a comprehensive understanding of the entire Bible. The idea of the Bible being infallible is based on circular reasoning and ignores the historical context and authorship of the texts. The Bible does not present a univocal portrayal of God, and different passages can contradict each other. Interpretation and contextual understanding are necessary. Examining the evidence and contradictions in the Bible can lead to a more nuanced and intellectually honest understanding of its teachings.

Summary In this conversation, Tim, Janice, and Ashlee discuss their origin story and how they connected on social media. They delve into the pitfalls of social media deconstruction content creation, grifters, what healthy accountability looks like, and why caution when choosing who to platform is critical. They also discuss why decolonizing is essential to the work of deconstruction and needs to be prioritized in progressive christian communities. Takeaways Learning from past mistakes is crucial for personal growth and building healthy relationships. The pitfalls of social media include the pressure to constantly create content and the temptation to monetize and exploit others' pain. Accountability is essential in the online space, and it is important to question the motives and actions of those in positions of influence. Platforming those who have previously caused harm should be approached with nuance, considering the potential for redemption and growth, while also holding individuals accountable for ongoing patterns of harm. Recognize the privilege and power dynamics in content creation, particularly for white men, and actively work to amplify marginalized voices. Decolonization is a process that takes time, and it is important to be open to learning from mistakes and engaging with diverse perspectives.

*In this episode we discuss evangelical deconstruction, church abuse, white supremacy and misogyny. Please use discretion when listening.* Did you happen to catch either of the Hillsong docs? Because I have questions, and I couldn't think of a better person to ask than Janice Lagata. As one of the founding members of Hillsong NYC, Janice remembers a time before Carl Lentz. Before NBA players, and Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez and 6 sermons a Sunday. Before the crowds of fans flocked to church to tithe to a group of nepo babies and their cronies, as they used the collection plate to fund their extravagant lives. Janice shares her thoughts on church planting, deconstruction, white supremacy and misogyny in modern day Christianity.

Meet the rebels: Noemi organises a renuion for ex Hillsongers. Janice Lagata, Tiffany Perez and Noemi meet up in New York - where a culture of exploitation and abuse went unchecked. Noemi, Janice and Tiffany explore the bond that has formed among people who've left the church and they jump into the issue of race. They say it's women of colour who are some of the loudest critical voices because “Hillsong never thought we would speak out, because they never saw us”. The trio used podcasts and social media to ask awkward questions and call out those in power. They explore what justice looks like and wonder whether the best form of revenge could simply be finding happiness outside Hillsong?

We conclude our roundtable conversation in this episode with the last two points in Steven Hassan's BITE model of authoritarian control and how Evangelicalism fits these descriptions. We also took a little bit of time to address the "He Gets Us" ad campaign that has the Evangelical world simultaneously giddy and furious. As a bonus, we wrap up with a few of the cornier Christian catchphrases we could think of.

In today's episode, Janice Lagata becomes the first guest to return to the Thereafter Podcast to talk with Cortland and Meghan about celebrity culture and the perpetuation of whiteness in deconstruction spaces. This is an important conversation and recognition that addressing power, privilege, and inequity isn't something limited to one or two people in these spaces, but is something we all need to examine in order to understand our part in either upholding white supremacy or working to tear it down. The introduction to the episode is only a few minutes to provide brief context for the conversation and then we dive right into the interview. We reference a post from Janice from November where she talked specifically about the event that triggered this conversation. You can read that here: https://godhasnotgiven.com/my-kind-of-trauma/ If you appreciated this conversation and want to support Janice in a tangible way right now go buy her a coffee as a small way of saying you appreciate the work she is doing HERE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/godhasnotgiven If you haven't already, please check out Janice's work.
