Slava Ukraini! Героям слава!

CW: War, violence

We are incredibly thankful to have been able to sit and talk with Yuliia Rusianovska, who works in media in New York, but is originally from Ukraine. Yuliia shares the history of the Ukraine-Russia war that started on February 24th, 2022, but has deep roots that start at least 100 years ago. Yuliia's family is still in Ukraine, so she shares her perspective on modern events as well as what her and her family experienced at the start of the conflict.

If you are able to and would like to support Ukraine, here are some links to various organizations and government fundraising sites:

CW: general spiritual abuse, mentions of the Bible

This week we got to interview Gavin Dees, who has been nicknamed "TikTok's Pastor." If you have not seen his videos, Gavin gained popularity on TikTok by posting videos of a "Millenial/Gen Z Church Service." We got to hear Gavin talk about his experience in the Christian Church, his journey through deconstruction, and life now as he begins to reconstruct and figure out what his faith or spirituality may look like. Gavin is an advocate for healing from spiritual trauma while also creating a safe space for individuals to heal.

For our news segment, we talk about Pastor Greg Locke's book burning as well John Cooper declaring war on Deconstruction Christians. We're not making this shit up. This shit happened.

Anyways, Kenneth is into NFTs and works with Bonnie, so HE'S BACK BABY.

TW: Pretty much every -ism, mentions of Trump, nationalism, genocide, misogyny, sexism, toxic masculinity, pretty much everything toxic about modern Christianity

We are officially back y'all! We have missed all of you, and have missed doing this crazy thing. We decided to start season 2 off with a bang. In this episode, we discuss Christian nationalism, a little over a year after the January 6th storm of Capital Hill. We bring in information from people who were at the D.C. riot, from Jesus and John Wayn by Katherine Kobes Du Mez, and a bunch of other stuff.

Our news segment quotes a lot from @the_decolonized_christian as we discuss the truckers in Canada and how they relate to Christian nationalism and the mass grave sites of Indigenous children across Canada.

We know y'all are wondering what Kenneth has been up to, but he's been quiet! However, Daniel had an unfortunate run-in with Kenneth's best theobros, Brody and Ben.

Finally, we end with our new segment, How Are You, Really?

Thank you so much for your support. We love all of you.

CW: evangelical theology/purity culture, original sin, toxic theology, mental health, and brief mentions of suicide, racial issues, and death

This week Bonnie and Jake are sadly out being good adults. So Daniel spends some time talking about a Facebook group he originally joined and why he hates Evangelicalism. He goes a bit into deconstruction and why people deconstruct (spoilers, The Gospel Coalition got it wrong).

Stay tuned for information on our Angsty Christmas Episode.
