- Chapel Probation s5- Rev Alba Onofrio aka Rev Sex: Appalachian Purity Culture to Rev Sex at Soulforce
Soulforce has been a big part of the stories coming out of Azusa Pacific University throughout this podcast. From the guests who attended the events on campus to the subsequent generations who banded together to start a movement, Soulforce is part of the DNA of Chapel Probation. So it was a thrill to be able to work with Rev Alba all year at Axis Mundi, producing Teologia Sin Verguenza and Love Letters on the main Soulforce Podcast. And now the chance to spend time with Rev Alba to hear her story and bask in her badass wisdom is an incredible honor.

1 hr 23 min - Chapel Probation s5- The Rise of MAGA at Azusa Pacific in the Early 2000's
As I prepare to go on vacation, I recap the rise of today's MAGA madness that we witnessed in the early 2000's. From the usual racism and acceptance of swastikas to the White-centric hypocrisy of marginalizing BIPOC traditions and centering White ones considered non-Christian.

50 min - Chapel Probation s5- Virginia Duan: The Mandarin Mama Does Not Abide White Supremacy and Patriarchy
Virginia Duan is the biggest BTS fan I've ever encountered. I do not understand this. But I also know she is one of the best and biggest baddasses I've ever met. Her story of overcoming fundamentalist christianity, a violent father, and racial discrimination is inspiring. It makes me want to keep fighting. And maybe listen to some BTS.
Check out her blog, The Mandarin Mama, and read her books, Illusive, and Weightless, the first two of the Katie Wu multiverse.

1 hr 20 min - Chapel Probation s5- Scott Talks Diversity in the Deconstruction World
I'm kinda hoping hardly anyone listens to this wide-ranging episode about diversity, or lack thereof, in the deconstruction world. The solution is simple. More BIPOC folks need to create content. I do criticize some creators, but I mostly want to celebrate you, the Chapel Probation listener. The criticisms herein are not about you. If you listen to BIPOC voices, you're doing good. Or you're building towards doing good. Thank you.

32 min - Chapel Probation s5 Umi Hsu- Chinese Baptist to a Life of Art, Music, and Queer AAPI Community
I asked my friend Umi Hsu to be on Chapel Probation to talk about their art and spiritual practices as a non-binary AAPI member of our community in Los Angeles. I had no idea Umi shares similar religious traumas from fundamentalist christianity. So this episode is great because you get a showcase of Umi's music and art and a relatable tie to religious trauma.
Check out Umi's podcast, Kindred Transmissions here.
And check out Umi's band Bitter Party's IG for upcoming shows.

1 hr 18 min - Chapel Probation s5- Dr. James Lee- Korean American Philosophy Prof Who Left Evangelicalism
This week we have a very different experience in academia with Dr. James Lee. He tells his story of growing christian, how he got out, and how he found his way as a philosophy professor in a real university (as opposed to pretend evangelical ones). It's an amazing conversation about getting out of church, teaching, and life as an AAPI professor today.

1 hr 22 min - Chapel Probation s5-Dr Sara Moslener- Life on Charlie Kirk's Prof Watch List and a Forthcoming Book
If you've read my book, you know I had some tough times teaching at Azusa Pacific University. But Dr. Sara Moslener has experienced even worse at a public university. She has had to adjust her pedagogy to survive, but she's still teaching incredibly important material centered on Christian purity culture, and she has a forthcoming book, After Purity: Race, Sex, and Religion in White Christian America. The book is available now for pre-order.
Dr. Moslener talks about life in academia during this difficult time, and she talks about her book. As always, she is incredible to talk to, inspiring us all to keep fighting the good fight.
Listen to the Pure White podcast and check out Dr. Moslener's first book, Virgin Nation: Sexual Purity and American Adolescence.

1 hr 24 min - Chapel Probation s5- Scott talks life after Kirk and losing friends and family
People are asking how their friends and family could possibly like a person like Charlie Kirk. Scott talks about the reasons for this bending the knee to a horrible human being by otherwise "nice" or "good" people. And he talks about what pushing back looks like in your inner circles. There is a price to pay, for sure. But it's worth it if you have community support.

37 min - Chapel Probation s5- Lacey Bond: Biola U to a Life of Sex-Positivity, Kink, and Healing as a Sex and Relationship Coach
We're back to Biola this week...kinda. Yes, Lacey Bond attended that school and was a "good" christian woman who followed all the rules. But while there, she was encouraged to ask questions and think creatively. This would prove lethal to her closely held fundamentalist, purity culture-soaked faith. It would eventually lead her to question everything and being exploring her identity as a woman and a sexual being. And through a series of life events, Lacey became a licensed Sex and Relationship coach, specializing in kink and non-traditional relationships. Want to know how someone goes from Biola dream student to complete sex-positivity? Lacey's story is one example. And it's a great conversation.

Check out Lacey's survey she mentioned in the episode here.

1 hr 31 min - Chapl Probation s5: Transvangelical- Author of On Your Knees: The 69-Day Irreverent Devotional
Alycea, aka Transvangelical, is here this week to talk about her life and her forthcoming book, On Your Knees: The 69 Day Irreverent Devotional. Here is the book description:
On Your Knees: The 69-Day Irreverent Devotional is a raw, humorous, and unflinching journey through the Bible, designed for those who have been harmed by traditional religious teachings. Author Transvangelical offers an honest look at familiar-and often forgotten-passages, challenging conventional translations and interpretations to reveal the text as a source of healing and liberation, not weaponized oppression.
This devotional dares to find sex, humor, and a queer-affirming spirituality within the sacred text, dismantling harmful doctrines of "sexual purity," gender inequality, and conformity. From Jesus being intersex to Jacob's potentially queer encounter with God, and even the biblical examples of masturbation and getting high, this devotional invites you to laugh, learn, and let go of the religious baggage you've been carrying.
More than just a book, On Your Knees is an invitation to engage with scripture on your own terms, and to reclaim your life in a way that celebrates your truest self.
Pre-order here!
