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.

1:36:24

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.

You'll hear her story, her…

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…

Chapel Probation s3 Valentine's Day Special 1:51:20

5M ago1:51:20

1:51:20

It's a bromance that eclipses the love of women. It's playful, raw, and unabashed. God has made men in his image, and that image is good, so young christian men at evangelical schools not only proudly display their dicks and balls, they create ways to interact with them. In this episode, we look at the practices and we laugh a little, but we also w…

1:21:08

Christian colleges often tout their illustrious alumni who accomplish great things in the christian world. Jeremiah and Julia won't likely be listed in such lists for Abilene Christian or Calvin college. That's because they are licensed sex therapists who promote sexual wellbeing in all of its forms.
