August 10, 2025 Just Because You Say “No Offense” Doesn’t Mean You’re Not Offensive
Just Because You Say “No Offense” Doesn’t Mean You’re Not Offensive
We’ve all heard it — and maybe even said it: “No offense…” before dropping a comment that’s, well… offensive. In this episode, we unpack why slapping “no offense” in front of a statement doesn’t make it harmless, how it’s often used to dodge accountability, and why words matter more than the disclaimers we attach to them.
From church small talk to political debates, we explore how this phrase shows up, the damage it can do, and how to replace it with honesty, empathy, and actual respect.
🎧 Listen in and let’s talk about better ways to speak the truth without causing unnecessary harm.

July 20, 2025 Why Did We Escape Christian Nationalism?
In this episode of Evangelicalish, we get personal about our own journeys out of Christian Nationalism — and the moments that cracked open our certainty.
We’ll talk about:
⚡ Why some people stay trapped in toxic systems while others break free
⚡ The emotional, spiritual, and political cost of questioning
⚡ How small acts of curiosity can unravel decades of indoctrination
⚡ What it means to walk in Sacred Rebellion after faith deconstruction
We know how disorienting it can be to realize the faith you inherited was more about power than love. We’ve been there. And we’re here to remind you:
You’re not alone. You’re not crazy. And thinking is not a sin.

June 22, 2025 Is Empathy Toxic? Evangelicalish Podcast
You were never too sensitive. You were always too wonderful to be suppressed. Christians have been told to be grateful, to give up understanding and... always be "closing" on converting others. American Christianity has a book making the rounds claiming that empathy is dangerous—a kind of emotional weakness that leads people astray. That it’s “soft on sin.” Join Paul and Ashley Swearengin for the 🎙 Evangelicalish Sunday Livestream and decide if Empathy is toxic — or if this is just toxic theology? #Evangelicalish #ReligiousRightReligiouslyWrong - #ProgressiveChristian #SpiritualDeconstruction #QueerTheology #FaithAfterReligion #HolyRebellion #SacredRebuttals

June 03, 2025 Elon is Not Alone Stealing Your Data; Tara Jean Stevens Evangelicalish
Are Evangelical Prophets following the lead of Elon Musk and mining data for profiting from propheting? Tara Jean Stevens of the Heaven Bent Podcast dives into the story that "prophets" are getting their information about conference goers from Social Media, not from heaven. Some of these prophets are people Paul and Ashley knew pretty well in their evangelical days. Don't miss this fascinating conversation.

May 11, 2025 Ethics: The story of Jonah, Religious Nationalism, Deportations and MAGA Christians
@UnconventionalPastorPaul talks of how ethical decisions must be made ahead of difficult situations that require a higher level of morality. The lack of such ethical foundations, Pastor Paul argues, are why the Republican Christian view of Immigrants, today, parallels the view of Jonah and people not of his race and religion; and why the god of Jonah's story asked him "How's that feeling of disdain for others working out for ya?" 🎧 Thank you for listening to Evangelicalish!
