Bible, Bravery, & Bulls#!t: A No BS Guide to Deconstruction, Progressive Christianity, & Life After Evangelicalism with Dan Minor

Send us Fan Mail

A lot of us weren’t losing Jesus, we were losing the small, rigid, fear-based version of him we were taught to protect. This episode of Bible Bravery & Bulls#!t takes on deconstruction, resurrection, progressive faith, and the scandalous possibility that the Christ we thought was gone is still here, just harder to control than religion would like.

Bible Bravery & Bullshit: setting your sacred cows on fire, one episode at a time.

In this episode of Bible Bravery & Bulls#!t, we go straight at the safe, polished version of Christianity and ask what happens when Jesus keeps showing up where respectable religion refuses to go. This is a raw, honest, and unapologetic conversation about the 99, the one, the margins, church people who love comfort more than compassion, and the hard truth that some folks didn’t leave God, they left bad religion. If your faith has ever been messy, evolving, pissed off, or pushed to the edges, this one’s for you.

This week on Bible Bravery & Buls#!t, Michael Regina drops by for a gloriously unhinged deep dive into Christian excuse-making at its finest. We’re talking AI Jesus vibes, selective outrage, social media saints, and the exhausting lengths people will go to defend the indefensible. It’s funny, messy, a little mean, and probably too real for church people who still think discernment means blaming Obama.

In this episode of Bible, Bravery, and Bulls#!t, we sit in the tension a lot of us have felt but didn’t always have language for:

👉 What if holiness was never meant to separate us from people?
👉 What if we’ve been protecting something Jesus never tried to protect?
👉 What if the way we’ve used holiness has actually pushed people away from God?

Because when we actually look at Jesus…

He didn’t build distance.
He built tables.

He didn’t avoid outsiders.
He identified with them.

He didn’t protect his holiness from people…
he brought it into proximity with people.

In this episode of Bible Bravery and Bullshit, Dan and Stan Mitchell unpack one of the most toxic ideas in church culture: that you were born already at odds with God and needed fear, shame, and endless striving to get back in. This is a conversation about original sin, original blessing, queer inclusion, church hurt, and why the God in the garden still came looking for people hiding in shame. Honest, healing, and just disruptive enough to matter.

The church has been wrong before. The question is whether we’re brave enough to admit it again.

Dan sits down with Stan Mitchell to talk about queer kids, Christian parents, mixed-orientation marriages, bad theology, and the long, painful work of helping families choose love over fear. This conversation is honest as hell and full of the kind of nuance most culture-war Christians can’t seem to hold onto.

From Pentecostal roots to progressive faith, Dan and Stan unpack what conservative Christianity got right, what it got deeply wrong, and why queer suffering should be more than enough reason to revisit the theology we were handed. This episode is about bridge-building, spiritual courage, and the question too many churches still won’t face:

What if we’re not defending truth. What if we’re defending harm?

What’s the most dangerous thing Jesus ever said?

Not “love your enemies.”
Not “pick up your cross.”

It was this: “The Kingdom of God is at hand.”

Because in Jesus’ world, there was already a kingdom… Rome.

In this episode we unpack why Jesus’ message wasn’t just spiritual — it was a direct challenge to empire, power, and systems that crush the vulnerable.

If you’re rethinking faith, questioning Christian nationalism, or trying to rediscover the radical message of Jesus beyond the noise of modern religion, this one might shake a few things loose.

What if the point of Christianity was never escaping earth… but transforming it?

A lot of us were taught faith is about surviving life long enough to get to heaven. But that mindset can quietly make us disengage from justice, suffering, and the people right in front of us.

In this episode, we challenge the theology that turns the gospel into an exit strategy and rediscover the message Jesus actually preached: bringing the kingdom of heaven to earth.

If you're deconstructing, questioning what you were taught, or trying to rebuild a faith that actually changes the world, this conversation is for you.

We were told that if we just loved hard enough, everything would work out.

But what happens when you loved deeply… and it still ended?

In this episode, Dan reframes one of Christianity’s most quoted verses: “Love never fails.” What if that promise was never about saving every relationship? What if it was about preserving your integrity?

Dan tackles:

• Why “love wins” theology has kept people in toxic situations
• The dangerous confusion between endurance and holiness
• How churches use “unity” and “love” to silence truth
• Why boundaries are not unforgiveness
• How love can remain intact even when relationships don’t

This conversation connects personal relationships, church culture, and political silence — exposing how “just be loving” has sometimes meant “don’t rock the boat.”

Love doesn’t fail when a relationship ends.
Love fails when you lose yourself trying to save it.

If you’ve ever wondered whether walking away meant you failed… this episode might set you free.

We’ve been told our whole lives that we need to “soar like eagles.”

But what if that sermon was never about ranking people in the first place?

In this episode, Dan breaks down a popular women’s conference message that turns Job 39 into a spiritual personality test: Are you an ostrich… or an eagle? What sounds inspiring on the surface is actually a perfect example of how the church turns metaphors into measuring sticks — and poetry into hierarchy.

Dan unpacks:

• Why Job was never about obedience, but protest
• How Christians weaponize “God said” to end conversations
• The church’s obsession with spiritual ranking
• Why feeling grounded or exhausted doesn’t make you inferior
• How hierarchy thinking fuels both church harm and political silence

If you’ve ever left a sermon feeling “less than,” this episode is for you.

The animals aren’t on trial.
Our assumptions are.
