This week we’re joined by our new friend Jason Parr who spent 3 years inside a strange and insular group of counterculture Evangelicals known as Deliverance Bible Church (interview starts at 31:00 minutes). At the center of this unconventional church is a pastor by the name of Cleetus Adrian, a charismatic egomaniac who fancies himself some sort of prophet. If it sounds like I’m slinging mud right from the get-go, don’t take my word for it. Check out the links below for an article about about the church, as well as a bizarre video of Cleetus “rescinding the blessings of DBC” from his enemies. This is the first time Jason has spoken publicly about his experience at Deliverance Bible Church, and it’s no small thing to share the details of such a negative and formative experience. We really appreciate his willingness to talk to us and you, and we hope you enjoy the episode!
