You Have Nothing. That's Perfect.

When everything falls apart, it feels like the end. But what if it's actually the beginning?

In this episode, we explore the counterintuitive truth that having nothing might be exactly what you need. When you're stripped down to zero—no plan, no safety net, no clear path forward—you discover something powerful: you don't need what you thought you needed.

This isn't about toxic positivity or "just be grateful" platitudes. This is about the raw, uncomfortable reality of starting over and why it's actually your greatest opportunity.

What You'll Learn:
✓ Why "having nothing" is different from "being nothing"
✓ The hidden freedom that comes with losing everything
✓ How to rebuild from scratch with confidence
✓ The mindset shift that turns emptiness into opportunity
✓ Why starting over is a competitive advantage, not a setback

If you're in a season of uncertainty, rebuilding, or starting fresh—this episode is for you.

Have you ever stood in a prayer line asking God for healing while simultaneously confirming your follow-up appointment with the specialist "just in case"? You're declaring financial breakthrough but spending the afternoon consumed with anxiety about next month's bills. You ask for peace but rehearse the argument you're going to have later.

This isn't a lack of faith—it's a fundamental misunderstanding of how you're designed to partner with God's power.

In this episode, we're having a family meeting about the connection between your mind and your miracles. It's time for some tough love.

YOU'LL DISCOVER:

🧠 Your Thoughts Are Chemistry - How every thought you think becomes chemistry in your body, sending signals to your 50 trillion cells

📖 Biblical Truth Meets Scientific Proof - How ancient scriptures about "guarding your heart" and "renewing your mind" are being validated by epigenetics and neuroplasticity

⚠️ The 95% Problem - Why 95% of your body's behavior is controlled by subconscious programs you didn't even know you wrote

🔧 How to Rewrite Your Programming - Practical, actionable steps to align your inner world with God's truth about who you are

💊 Prayer as Medicine - Why meditation and scripture-based declarations aren't optional spiritual activities—they're biological necessities

TOUGH LOVE Q&A:

What if I told you that the cereal in your pantry was invented to stop people from having sex?

In this eye-opening episode of The Unlearning Letter, host Nelson reveals the shocking true story behind Kellogg's Corn Flakes—a breakfast food deliberately designed to suppress sexual desire as part of Dr. John Harvey Kellogg's extreme anti-sex crusade.

But this isn't just a quirky history lesson. It's a powerful examination of how religious control, hypocrisy, and spiritual abuse have been weaponized throughout history—and how these same patterns still show up in churches today.

In This Episode:

• The disturbing origins of America's favorite breakfast cereal

• Dr. Kellogg's torture methods at his famous sanitarium

• The secret hypocrisy of his own sexless marriage

• Biblical warnings about religious controllers (Romans 2, Galatians 5)

• How to recognize spiritual abuse in your own life

• Practical steps to break free from religious control

• Why your body and desires aren't your enemy

This Episode Is For You If:

✓ You've experienced church hurt or spiritual abuse

✓ You're deconstructing toxic religious teachings

✓ You've been shamed for being "too human"

✓ You're tired of religious leaders who judge others while hiding their own brokenness

✓ You want to rediscover the freedom Jesus actually offers

Key Quote:

"Christ didn't die to create new religious controllers—He died to set us genuinely free. If someone's teaching leaves you feeling crushed by guilt and constantly afraid, that is NOT the gospel of Jesus Christ."

Join Nelson as he unpacks the high cost of hypocrisy, the beauty of true freedom, and why your body is not a battleground.

Still Unlearning,

Nelson

What happens when the very people who taught you about God become the reason you can't trust Him?

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my experience growing up as a pastor's kid and church musician. I'll share what it was like to be an insider, the devastating moment of betrayal that shattered my faith, and the quiet, unexpected encounter that began to rebuild it on a completely new foundation.

This conversation is for you if you've ever felt spiritually homeless, been wounded by the church, or been told your questions are a sign of a weak faith. I believe your doubt doesn't disqualify you—it's where the real journey begins.

In this episode, I discuss:

• What it was like for me growing up and seeing how the Sunday service was put together from my view on the inside.
• How I navigated the trauma of discovering the "shepherd" can also be the "wolf."
• Why your emotional walls are evidence of survival, not a weakness to be fixed.
• Giving yourself permission to walk away from religious noise to hear God's voice again.
• Answering the tough questions: "What if my doubts never go away?" and "Will I ever feel whole again?"

Sometimes you have to fail in the role people gave you to step into the one God prepared for you.

Being good at the wrong thing is expensive. Nelson shares how a $100K ministry path, burnout, betrayal, and a tour bus exposed deep misalignment—and led to healing outside the walls people said were required. Your gift isn’t your title. Your success isn’t your fulfillment. This episode is a permission slip to pivot before it costs you everything.

Ever felt like you're the only one struggling with questions about faith? You're not alone. I'm Nelson—a former pastor and musician who grew up playing the organ in church, watching our culture from both sides of the pulpit, only to realize that sometimes the most faithful thing we can do is ask honest questions.

After years of checking all the boxes—pastor's kid, church organist, seminary graduate, and pastor—I noticed something: the gap between our church culture and Jesus's teachings kept growing. Maybe you've noticed it too.

"Rethinking It All" creates the space I wish existed during my own struggles. Here, we move past the polished answers and picture-perfect faith to have real, honest conversations about what it means to follow Jesus in today's world.

This isn't about being controversial or tearing things down. It's about building something authentic—a community where your questions are welcome, your doubts are valid, and your journey matters.

Whether you're questioning everything or just need to know you're not crazy for asking—you're welcome here. Because sometimes, rethinking it all is exactly what we need to build something real.
