We discuss the potential of church community amid poor excuses for communal love. Everyone is born into a structure that must be deconstructed so we are not reduced to it.

Matt and James discuss the connection to the true self while addressing childhood patterns that have kept us from embracing love. It's never too late for a splash of healing.

We talk about the experience of love and how it’s dangled in front of us by Western Christianity. Are we tired of being promised a divine connection only to experience dissonance and shame?

Matt and James kill the Christian devils that inspire shame in all those with sexual bodies. No shame too big to tame around here! We used to think chipmunks were baby squirrels.

Matt takes a moment to reflect on his faith journey from his childhood upbringing to the present day. Story always seems to be an effective way to make sense of life’s experiences.

James shares history and indulges in his religious experience and what shape it holds for him now. Sometimes, we grow out of a shell too small to hold our size.

Matt and James kick off the pod by establishing origin stories and discussing pre/post-Christian entanglements. Every journey matters. Thanks for joining ours!
