1:16:38

Sheila Chappelle has come such a long way from being a student at an oppressively high control school that had a wild counter culture.

But she's overcome that by getting sober and transitioning into her tru…

8d ago1:13:04

1:13:04

Seth survived 2 years at Bob Jones only because he figured out how to actually live life. But this required a significant amount of deception and rides in trunks of cars, so it was just a matter of time before he asked himself if all the effort was worth it.

Chapel Probation s4- Dave Galvan: Pentecostal Worship to a Life of Real Music in Community 1:25:50

11d ago1:25:50

1:25:50

I knew Dave Galvan as a friend and bandmate for many years before I learned that he grew up in a strict Pentecostal church. And I learned in this episode that Dave led worship with a black Les Paul copy at that church. Epic. When you know people outside of religion, you can just live and enjoy life, so I was a little anxious making Dave go back thr…

2:13:42

Ever since I started this podcast, I've wanted my friend Mark to come on to tell his story. But even more has happened since early 2022, so I'm actually glad he finally agreed to come over and do this.

When you are the son of a big-time Korean pastor who suffers from narcissism and rage, christianity and life are filled with trauma and despair.

If you've read my book, Asian American Apostate, you know how important traci is to me. She's important to a lot of people, really. But she met me when I was still trying to be a Christian, and she helped me become the person I am today. So it makes sense to have her be the guest for the 100th episode of Chapel Probation.

Ross is the real deal. Solid human who sees all the things we need our White men allies to see. Do I go a little overboard praising him? Sure. Am I sorry about that? Hell no. Anyone who steps away from privilege to engage in the complexities of other peoples' lives is awesome in my book. Throughout Ross's christian life, he challenged assumptions a…
