August 06, 2024 Chapel Probation Collab- The Horny Chapel Episode 1
The first episode of the Horny Chapel, a collaboration with Priska of the Two Horny Goats podcast.

And we talk about where this series will go in the coming episodes. In the end, we hope to help everyone become sex-positive and love themselves. Be sure to subscribe to the separate podcast feed and follow us on Instagram.

July 30, 2024 Chapel Probation s4- Sheila Chappelle- Freed-Hardiman Pastor to Deconstruction Mentor
Sheila Chappelle has come such a long way from being a student at an oppressively high control school that had a wild counter culture. She had to remove herself from this environment and ultimately this religion altogether to overcome her finely honed skills of keeping secrets. But she's overcome that by getting sober and transitioning into her true self, and now she helps others heal from religious trauma.
You can follow her popular Tik Tok here.

July 23, 2024 Chapel Probation s4- Seth- Deconstructed Because of Bob Jones III
Seth survived 2 years at Bob Jones only because he figured out how to actually live life. But this required a significant amount of deception and rides in trunks of cars, so it was just a matter of time before he asked himself if all the effort was worth it. When he challenged the school's racist prohibition of interracial dating, arguing directly with Bob Jones III, himself, the experience jettisoned him from Christianity.

July 16, 2024 Chapel Probation s4- Peter Hull- The Chapel Probation Champ of Grace College
We're back with a traditional Chapel Probation episode talking to Peter Hull, a Gen X dude who almost never went to chapel while at Grace College. He only stayed for 5 semesters, but he got a taste of shitty christian higher ed. We talk purity culture and the struggles of finding oneself after faith in the aftermath of Grace College.
Here's a link to the artist Peter mentions, Alannah Sabbatini.

July 09, 2024 Chapel Probation s4: Christa Brown- SBC Abuse Survivor and Activist for Justice
Christa Brown was a victim of horrible sexual abuse as a child by her SBC youth pastor. This took place in what she calls, "Baptistland," and this is the title of her incredible book. She writes unflinchingly at her childhood filled with abuse at the hands of said pastor and her family members, but she also pulls herself out of Baptistland to become a successful attorney. She eventually takes up the fight against the SBC when she discovers that her experience was not unique in the SBC. In an attempt to expose the coverup that was systemically engineered at every level, she created a database of pastors who had been credibly accused of sexual assault. This led to her being brutally attacked online and threatened in person by everyone from top SBC officials to everyday congregants of SBC churches. But through it all, she has found her voice and her identity. To me, she's a bonafide hero.
You can read more from Christa on her Substack and her previous book, This Little Light: Beyond a Baptist Preacher Predator and His Gang.

July 02, 2024 Chapel Probation s4- Dave Galvan: Pentecostal Worship to a Life of Real Music in Community
I knew Dave Galvan as a friend and bandmate for many years before I learned that he grew up in a strict Pentecostal church. And I learned in this episode that Dave led worship with a black Les Paul copy at that church. Epic. When you know people outside of religion, you can just live and enjoy life, so I was a little anxious making Dave go back through his early days, but that's what bandmates do. We go on each other's podcasts and talk about depressing shit.
For the first time I'm including music Dave and I did with our old band, Band Moto. So be warned.

June 25, 2024 Chapel Probation s4- Mark: The Pentecostal to IVCF to War to Goth Club Pipeline
Ever since I started this podcast, I've wanted my friend Mark to come on to tell his story. But even more has happened since early 2022, so I'm actually glad he finally agreed to come over and do this. It's a story of a common upbringing in high control pentacostalism to the lighter theologies of Inter Varsity Christian Fellowship at the beginning. But life got pretty damn scary for Mark after he joined the Navy while in medical school. After seeing up-close the horrors of war, he came home with his faith severely challenged. And then we almost lost him to a rare form of lung cancer that severely affected his life. But Mark has rallied, deconstructed, and is living an incredible life today. It's an epic tale that I just couldn't edit down because it has so much insight to offer us. And as you'll hear, it's a story that Mark is still processing today.
Content Warning: descriptions of war.

June 18, 2024 Chapel Probation s4 Erica Smith- Sexual Healing After Purity Culture
Sex educator Erica Smith did not grow up in Purity Culture, but she has learned about how damaging it is for men and women and for society. She has dedicated her life's work to helping people heal from their patriarchal pasts that stunted their development as sexual humans and move forward to explore their bodies and their sexuality. With a deep understanding of race, gender, and the maddening behaviors of fundamentalists, Erica is well-suited to help folks in deconstruction become more whole as humans.
You can check out all of her courses and writings at her website.
And be sure to check out Dr. Sara Moslener's incredible podcast about the history of Purity Culture and its ties to White supremacy, Pure White.

The first non-Christian guest on Chapel Probation! Hear Scott's pal Tanzila (Taz) Ahmed tell her story and talk about her life of advocating for human flourishing.

And whatever you know or don't know about the Islamic faith, Taz will surprise you with her views on art, activism, and life.

June 04, 2024 Chapel Probation s4 Abraham Kim: Korean PK- Badass Drummer
When you are the son of a big-time Korean pastor who suffers from narcissism and rage, christianity and life are filled with trauma and despair. But Abraham Kim found music and drums early on to help him deal with life, drumming his response to violence at home and oppression in the church. And he found his way out with the help of Talbot (Biola) and found footing in a full, beautiful life with his life partner, Priska, who you heard in Season 3. He's one of my favorite drummers in the world, and one of the best people I know.
