In Episode 1, Brandon and Shay introduce the heartbeat behind the show: making Christianity about Jesus again — not politics, not culture wars, not religious performance.

From Baptist upbringing and ’80s music tension to ministry burnout, church-machine fatigue, and the unexpected rise of a wildly diverse online community, this episode sets the tone.

Expect humor, honesty, and conversations that refuse to wear the usual religious filters.

This isn’t about deconstructing faith.

It’s about stripping away everything that distorted it.

Because Jesus is still compelling.
Still disruptive.
Still worth wrestling with.

This quick intro gives you a taste of what’s coming on The Disruptive Disciple. Pastor Brandon sets the tone for a podcast that refuses to play nice with shallow faith, church politics, or spiritual performance.

If you’ve ever wished someone would talk honestly about Jesus, the Church, doubt, hypocrisy, hope, and real life without the filters or the theatrics, this is your invitation.

The first full episodes drop in January, but here’s your preview of the journey ahead. Buckle up. It’s about to get real.
