Deconstruct To Curiocity

Mesa grew up non-religious and made the conscious decision to remain non-religious in her adulthood. In this episode she answers questions like...

Where do you get your values and wisdom from & how do you weigh moral issues?

When times are tough, who do you depend on?

What gets you through at the end of the day?

Do you believe in fate/destiny or anything like that?

Do you think Christians hate you?

Thank you for listening!

Jessica is the director and producer of “I survived I kissed dating goodbye” which is a documentary about the various responses to the purity movement and models for Christian dating and relationships over the last 20 years.

In early 2016, Jessica approached Joshua Harris (the author of the now UNPUBLISHED book “i kissed dating goodbye” while they were both pursuing master's degrees at Regent College in Vancouver, B.C. to discuss the idea of making such a film together. The documentary released last year.

Let’s take a look at religion.

This is just part ONE of our conversation with Adam Palmer. Stay tuned for more in the coming weeks. This week we talk about our Christian music bands and our experience with mental health challenges and the response of the church.

We don’t have answers, just experiences. Purity Culture is a HUGE topic with many varied experiences. The three of us had similar upbringings, but different journeys that lead us to where we are today. If you align with purity messages, this is not in any way condemning you - I’m happy it worked for you. For us, however, we have each had damage we’ve had to work through because of the purity messages preached at us. I hope this inspires you to look inward and potentially join us in this conversation.

In this episode we talk to the ever so lovely Kee Dwane. She finds her identity in her faith - through Jesus. Years ago, she came out as gay, then trans, and since then doesn’t really “identify”, as she now recognizes and finds identity in her faith through Jesus - not her appearance, gender, sexuality or preference. She shares her struggles of being pulled between a more conservative upbringing and the pressures she felt through the LGBTQ+ community. She bravely battles with dysphoria and the confusion that brings in an already confusing world. She is a courageous soul with a compassionate heart. She loves Jesus and welcomes anyone who so desires to reach out to her. See her contact below.
