Chapel Probation s4- Episode 100 with traci kato-kiriyama 1:36:24

5d ago1:36:24

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. 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. You'll hear her story, her…

Chapel Probation s4- Ross Montgomery 1:17:54

2h ago1:17:54

1:17:54

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…

REPOST: After Hours #5 Keiko Agena (Gilmore Girls) and Shin Kawasaki- Heroes of the Asian Kids at APU 49:36

3M ago49:36

49:36

Despite this episode containing some incredible music by Shin and the presence of Keiko, a bonafide Gilmore Girl and TV/Movie star, very few people heard this, comparatively. So before season 4 gets going, I wanted to give newer listeners a chance to hear from two of my favorite people on the planet: Shin Kawasaki and Keiko Agena. Even as the show …

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

4M 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…

Chapel Probation s3- The Sexvangelicals- Jeremiah and Julia 1:21:08

5M ago1:21:08

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. Their podcast, the Sexvangelicals, is a great lo…

She captured what a lot of us were feeling during a time when our AAPI community felt targeted by rabid, ignorant MAGA Trumpers. But before she became a renowned food writer and social justice advocate, Esther grew up…

Chapel Probation s3- Tim Mills- The Harmonic Atheist (BJU) 1:19:52

5M ago1:19:52

1:19:52

It may seem a little harsh to post an episode the day after xmas with the creator of the Harmonic Atheist youtube channel, it just kinda worked out that way. Tim Mills is a self-described atheist who, like so many others this season, devoted his life to absolute adherence to fundamentalist Christianity. But his quest for the truth ultimately led hi…

Chapel Probation s3- Ryan Mulkowski- IFB, Pensacola, Liberty to Loss of Faith 1:18:00

6M ago1:05:44

1:05:44

Jered held on to his evangelical faith for dear life for a long time. But when he couldn't abide the racism, conservative politics, and weak teachings anymore, he just couldn't stay. To his credit. In our conversation, we talk about rampant nudity in the Simpson College boys dorms, problematic teachings in church, parenting, and...math? Yes, math. …

Chapel Probation s3- "Special K"- An Anonymous Listener Tells Her Story for the First Time 1:33:24

6M ago1:33:24

1:33:24

"K" had the unique experience of growing up Southern Baptist in Southern California. She went to UCLA fully intending to maintain her deeply held fundamentalist Christian faith and sought to fortify her faith by learning as much as she could from campus ministries and local churches. But K realized she was not satisfied with the answers to her ques…

Chapel Probation s3- Kit- IBLP to SBC to Freedom 1:09:04

6M ago1:09:04

1:09:04

Kathleen, aka Kit, will tell you she was infantilized by her parents from time her family entered the IBLP world until she was in her early 20's. In the patriarchal, abusive, and oppressive world of IBLP, going to a Southern Baptist Convention college was a breath of fresh...er air. Freshness being relative in this metaphor, Kit, found freedom in S…

Chapel Probation s3- Sarah Hayward- Author of Giving Up God 1:06:12

6M ago1:06:12

1:06:12

Like many of us, Sarah Henn Hayward did everything she could to remain a christian. She read books, she asked questions, and she learned to be inclusive and affirming. And everything she did to remain helped her deconstruct all the way out of christianity. It's not so much a "slippery slope" as it is a snowball succumbing to gravity as it rolls dow…

Chapel Probation s3- Simon Graham- Deconstructing Whiteness and Patriarchy 1:16:38

7M ago1:16:38

1:16:38

I met Simon Graham during my last year at UC San Diego, and though we've rarely seen each since that year, we've kept in touch, marking our growth as people, as husbands, and as fathers in this complex world. And Simon is one of the finest humans I've had the pleasure of knowing. In the past year, we've talked about our views on race, gender, patri…

Chapel Probation s3- A Conversation with Jo Luehmann 48:54

7M ago48:54

48:54

I bonded with Jo Luehmann last year over our shared love of comedian Atsuko Okatsuka, and I even had the honor of introducing Jo to Atsuko. Two epic women for sure. In this bonus episode while I'm on vacation, Jo and I talk about our books while sitting on a bench in Central Park just a stone's throw from one of Turmp's towers. Jo's forthcoming boo…

Chapel Probation s3- PDX Ben- Vanguard to Seminary to Great Dad 1:13:58

7M ago1:13:58

1:13:58

Ben is a friend I first met at the epic PDX meetup last year. He had told me a little about his past as an evangelical who wanted to be a pastor or some kind of biblical scholar, but I had no idea how far he had come from his early adulthood. It's really an honor to bring you this story that goes all the usual places with problematic evangelical cu…

Chapel Probation s3- Kristin Luna- A Sister 9 from APU 1:28:38

8M ago1:28:38

1:28:38

Back at APU with another of the badass Sisters 9 writing group. Kristin Luna, aka K-wing, was such an important person to me. She was part of the group of students who saw me and welcomed me in as a fellow fringe/bad person at APU. I remembered my mentor professors who let me into their personal lives at UC San Diego, and I allowed myself to be tha…

Chapel Probation s3- Timothy Cooper- Newly Deconverted and Kicking Ass after Masters College 1:28:10

8M ago1:28:10

1:28:10

I spend way too much time trying to figure out how fundamentalist, conservative White folks become enlightened and caring of the world around them. We may never know, but meeting Tim Cooper has given me hope. Tim deconverted slowly over time and taught himself to interrogate first his faith and then his worldview. And in a relatively short time, he…

1:19:26

I was a guest on the podcast, This Is Not Church with Jon and Nat Turney a few months ago, and we had a great time talking about my book and rock music. Sometimes you meet people, and immediately click, and this was the case with me and the Turney boys. So when I heard that Nat was publishing his book, The Seeds of De(Con)struction, I messaged him …

Chapel Probation s3- Jon Carl Lewis- Sex Education for All of Us 1:18:14

8M ago1:18:14

1:18:14

Jon Carl Lewis went to Princeton, but he sought out the repressive Christian elements he grew up with, hoping to "pray the gay away." But, he deconstructed after some horrific and lonely times to progressive forms of Christianity, eventually finding his way to leather bars in Boston and a life of sexual liberation. He has written and taught about s…

Xeres survived APU as a neuro-divergent Filipina woman and went on to explore personal and generational healing through community activism and explorations into the mystical aspects of religion.

Chapel Probation s3- Paul aka "The Fictitious Prof" and the Divine in Music 1:05:04

9M ago1:05:04

1:05:04

Paul Kirz is a classically-trained pianist and musician from Souther California who went to APU. Thankfully, his rigorous training, practicing, and performing in the Music Department kept him so busy that he didn't get the full brunt of all the usual racism, bigotry, and conservative fundamentalism of the school. And as the concept of the divine ha…

Chapel Probation s3: Father Shannon TL Kearns- A Transition to the Divine 1:09:54

9M ago1:09:54

1:09:54

Shannon Kearns grew up in a fundamentalist family and church knowing he was outside of the parameters of acceptable christian living. He resolved to live as a celibate queer woman and become a youth pastor, and even did so for a time. But he eventually found a fuller life and a viable faith by transitioning. It was this new perspective as a man sec…

Brandon Flanery grew up in fundamentalist evangelical culture, but he knew early on he was gay.

But he eventually discovered that embracing his sexuality gave him a peace and joy about himself, and he has since explored all manner of experiences…

Chapel Probation s3- Heather Owens: IBLP/ATI Survivor 1:03:30

9M ago1:03:30

1:03:30

Heather Owens was literally born of IBLP/ATI indoctrination, the result of her parents deciding to resume filling up their "quivers" for christs by having "reversal babies." We are grateful that Heather is here, though, and her story sheds more bad light on the IBLP/ATI world with its systemic abuse of babies and children and its shielding of power…

Chapel Probation s3- Andrew Pledger: Surviving BJU 1:27:10

10M ago1:27:10

1:27:10

Andrew Pledger grew up in a Christian fundamentalist cult (IFB) that led him to attend Bob Jones University. He knew he was gay, and he knew things were not right with the faith that criminalized his very existence. But as a young man, he had no options to escape his family's control or the bizarre, abusive rules of BJU. At first, Andrew tried to p…

Chapel Probation s3- Em Torres: The Life She Wrote 1:37:53

10M ago1:37:53

1:37:53

Before Chapel Probation and before Asian American Apostate existed, Em Torres invited me to come onto her podcast, The Life She Wrote. I had written her a theme song, but other than that, I didn't have anything public out there, but Em saw me as someone with something to say. I'll always be grateful for that. Em went to Vanguard University for a ye…

CW: descriptions of nuclear war I wrote a longer version of this in my substack, but here is something I wanted to say on this platform. I had to stop and regroup a few times, and I even had to omit a few lines because I just couldn't say them out loud. But I'm not OK with Oppenheimer. I'm not saying anything against anyone who enjoyed it, as I'm s…

10M ago1:18:32

1:18:32

Jazz Robertson grew up and came of age playing drums in churches. From CCM to gospel, she found connection to musicians and music which kept her involved in church. But the connection to the bible and God never quite happened, despite her best efforts. But like a lot of us, she held on to the music in church until she just couldn't anymore. For bot…

If you've watched the documentary, Shiny Happy People, you know some of the horrific details of the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP) and the Advanced Training Institute (ATI). Both are systems that drive a cult that became mainstream when The Learning Channel aired too many seasons of that insipid bullshit about the Duggar family. America …

Chapel Probation s3- The Religious Exemption Accountability Project (REAP) Erin Green and Paul Southwick 1:28:58

11M ago1:28:58

1:28:58

I admit it. There was a time I has zero hope for the LGBTQIA students and faculty at evangelical schools. But that was before REAP came on the scene bringing legal firepower to the fight against the inhumane bigotry and discrimination all evangelical schools are guilty of promoting and enforcing. The tide is turning now. Paul Southwick started REAP…
