In this episode, Jack Coleman joins the conversation. Jack is a Mindset Mentor for Holistic Awareness and Balance. His passion is backed by the desire to help “demystify” philosophies, concepts, and principles we believe are unattainable, unfathomable, and even unrelatable.

We discuss how we are all God, how to find God- in people, places, and things, and also how to receive the truth that makes us feel uncomfortable. Jack breaks down why questions can trigger an emotional and reactive response from us, considering that when we are triggered by questions, it is because we are hiding a lie or protecting a truth.

We also delve into the discussion of psychedelics and how plant medicines can benefit many individuals.

Suzanne DeWitt Hall joins today’s conversation. 

Suzanne is a writer who’s authored many books, three of which we discuss today: Theology of Desire, Sex with God, and Sleeper, Awake. 

Suzanne shares her story of religious unlearning by way of devotional deconstruction. Her books are delectable snacks for the individual who finds themselves smack in the middle of religious deconstruction and unsure of which questions to ask or why. 

We discuss how encouraging her devotionals are for those who are also going through an erotic transformation, questioning their sexual identity, orientation, and how one relates and reflects the sexual attribute from God. 

We tackle issues surrounding purity culture and the toxic programs, she shares a reimagined depiction of Jesus as "sexy and flirtatious," and we talk about the steamiest scenes in the Bible that highlight the nature of God. 

When asked how one can discern their desires, she advises that we learn to check "ourselves when we're turning someone else into a thing that satisfies us, rather than a person who is worthy of connection, respect, and love." 

A healthy desire is one that brings wholeness, not only to the one who desires but the one who is desired, especially physically, intimately, sexually. 

Suzanne touches on two ideas that are not regularly discussed when considering consent: Sometimes, we say "yes" but we don't really mean "yes." and the privilege of being able to say "no."

Today, Pornstar Pastor joins the conversation.

PP is not your typical pastor in that he supports sex workers and he encourages ethical porn use. This conversation unfolds so many wonderful and delightful yet deep and controversial topics. We discuss Christian nationalism, comparison of sins, church scandals, Christian sexual ethics, purity prescriptions, a call for patience for progress, minding our extremist blind spots, realizing our theology isn’t that old, why we can be so easily stripped of salvation by dualistic dogma, and why faith has been co-opted. Especially riveting is the way Pornstar Pastor revisions the biblical passage of Jesus before Pontius Pilate while delving into the politics of Jesus. PP’s profound request is necessary: “Let’s not hold salvation over one another’s heads. Let’s not hold faith over one another’s heads.”

Concluding thoughts leave many unanswered questions, join the reflection:

What are the Christian approach to porn, sex work, and Only fans use?
