My new friend Brittany and I discuss her time in a cult, what drew her family to that community, how she got out, and where she is now in her faith.

T.C. stops by to discuss his journey from the time he spent in a gang, what led him to be a pastor, and what community means to him.

Steve returns to discuss why Christians should be concerned about climate change and what is ours to do.

In this special episode, Dangerous Dogma podcast host, Brian Kaylor talks with William Stell, a religious studies professor and author of the forthcoming book, Born Again Queer: A History of Evangelical Gay Activism and the Making of Antigay Christianity. Kaylor is also joined by guest cohost Jared Burkholder, scholar in residence at Moravian Theological Seminary. This is in partnership with Moravian exploring historical and contemporary issues of concerns involving evangelicals.

Burkholder will be giving the annual Walter Vivian Moses Lecture on Oct. 29 at 4 p.m. (ET) at the Bahnson Center on the Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Campus of Moravian Theological Seminary. It will also be livestreamed for free. Sign up to watch here.

Something a little different this week! In anticipation of Moravian Theological Seminary's(one of my favorite places…ever!)annual Moses Lecture, which this year is discussing "Moravians and the Evangelical Question", I'm sharing an important conversation about the state(pun intended?) of the separation of church and state.

Disclaimer: I did not participate in this conversation. Many of you may be glad to hear that! 😉

Many evangelical churches are known for their savvy marketing photographs of congregants worshipping and praying. Taylor stops by to discuss how this is not church.

Byrnese stops by to discuss her time at an evangelical, young adult leadership program(think YWAM or Teen Mania), what led her to the Moravian Church, and why is the self-proclaimed Moravian Bread Lady!

Taylor and I discuss his time in youth ministry, his divorce, firing from a job in ministry, addiction, and ultimate healing through authentic relationships!

Author of books "A New Kind of Christian" and "Faith After Doubt", stops by, along with friend of the pod Mike Petrow, to chat about Brian's book "Do I Stay Christian?".

Frequent collaborator and returning guest, Dr. Steve Simmons and I discuss the "bare minimum" beliefs to be a considered Christian. We also discuss the problems with "right belief".
