October 31, 2016 A Safe Place for Questions w/ Dr. Keisha McKenzie
This week's episode features a conversation with Dr. Keisha McKenzie, aka @mackenzian on Twitter. She shares her story of growing up in the UK, attending school in Jamaica, as well as her time living in the US, all while engaging her Adventist faith and finding communities that helped her continue to ask the questions she wanted to ask. It’s a great conversation that covers a lot of ground across politics, religion, and sexuality—what she refers to as “the three taboos” on her website.

October 24, 2016 Heretic Husband
This week’s guest is the anonymous blogger Heretic Husband. He tells his story, which begins in Catholicism and continues through evangelicalism and agnosticism. This story does include a discussion of spiritual and sexual abuse, so if that is triggering please bear that in mind. Also there is one F bomb. Heretic Husband’s story at heretichusband.com, follow him on Twitter @heretichusband, and follow his tumblr at heretichusband.tumblr.com. If you enjoy the show and want to support it, please rate and review the show on iTunes. Ratings and reviews increase the visibility of the show and will help us continue to grow our audience. As this tempestuous election season draws to a close, I think there will be more people looking for ways to explore ideas around faith and evangelicalism, so the more reviews we can get the more people have a chance to find this. You can also support the show via Patreon at patreon.com/exvangelicalpod.

October 17, 2016 The Kevin Garcia Needs to Sit in the Front Row
Today’s guest is Kevin Garcia, a writer, podcaster, and all around thoughtful guy. It’s hard to summarize Kevin’s story. Ultimately it’s s story of self acceptance and finding God’s love, but it took time to get there. It’s very moving, but it’s best told in his own words. A couple notes: the language in this one is a little blue, so don’t play it around kiddos or people sensitive to profanity - just use discretion, ok? Also, Kevin was recording from a public spot, so there’s a lot of really great background ambience happening that I actually dig and I hope you do too. Also, there is frank talk of suicide and reparative therapy so if that is triggering, please be advised. - Follow Kevin on Twitter @thekevingarcia\_ Subscribe to A Tiny Revolution: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/tiny-revolution-kevin-garcia/id1139407923?mt=2 Visit Kevin's website: thekevingarcia.com Follow Blake on Twitter: @brchastain Follow the show on Twitter: @exvangelicalpod Follow the show on Instagram: @exvangelicalpod Follow the show on Facebook: facebook.com/exvangelicalpod Support the show on Patreon: patreon.com/exvangelicalpod Richard Rohr's Everything Belongs: http://amzn.to/2enezKE Intro: "Be Yourself" by Frank Ocean https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/be-yourself/id1146195596?i=1146195715 Interlude: "How Great (feat.
