  • Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes! With Yuliia Rusianovska

    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:

  • How To Become TikTok's Pastor Without Really Trying with Gavin Dees

    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.

  • Don't Touch My Holy Balls, John Wanye

    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).

  • The Gabe Agenda with Gabe Gonzalez
    CW: purity culture, general church/religious trauma, Chris Pratt, colonization, potentially triggering language and words (specifically in Fucking News segment)
    Gabe Gonzalez joins us as our first returning guest, while also being our first guest ever! We talk a little about Thanksgiving, colonization, and the importance of decolonization. But to be real, this episode is a giant shit show of insane craziness, but like in a good way. We talk in-depth about purity culture, cancel culture, and the ways they really fuck up our society.

  • Pumpkin Spice Thots with Delaney Reddel
    CW: mention of conservative views on abortion, spiritual bypassing, overall spiritual trauma, mention of sacrifice
    Happy Samhain, Halloween, All Hallow's Eve, All Saints' Eve, Reformation Day -- whatever you may call it, we hope that you celebrate it well. This week Bonnie and Daniel interview Delaney Reddell, a teacher of Celtic folklore in Los Angeles. Delaney has her MSc from the University of Edinburgh in Literature and Society: Enlightenment, Romanticism, and Victorian. She is also engaged to a dope guy in Ireland and will be moving there in a year, meaning she has spent a lot of time in the culture. Delaney walks us through how Samhain got us to Halloween and later to Harvest Festivals because hAlLoWeEn Is SaTaNiC and all of that stupidity.
    Later we discuss a stupid article by the Gospel Coalition where a woman equates abortion to hiring a hit man (what?). Afterwards, Daniel shares a run-in with Pastor Bruce.
    If you would like to connect with Delaney, please follow her at:

  • How To Come Out of the Closet Without Really Trying
    Come meet Bonnie, our newest co-host! She is arguable Christian and not arguable angsty, just like the rest of us. Bonnie dives into her own experience growing up at the church the three of them currently attend while wrestling with her own sexuality in the midst of a lot of heavy discussions. She talks about when she came out to her parents and how that experience wasn't the healthiest for her, but also how much her parents and her church have grown since then.
    Become one of our patrons! We will start posting bonus content like an angsty D&D campaign, random things that we want to talk about, but also have opportunities to do hangs with the ACP crew. We are currently working on some dope angsty merch for our Patreon subscribers.

  • Jesus Was the Queerest of the Queers with Joey Reyes
    This week, we got to talk with Joey Reyes. Joey is a latiné/x queer person who graduated from Azusa Pacific University with Daniel.
