  • 0009 - Art is Sacred

    In this sermon, Reverend Riot lifts up the spray-painted wall, the basement show, the sketchbook, and the song as holy ground. Art is more than expression—it’s resistance, communion, and a weapon against control. From graffiti tags to punk zines, from riffs to murals, we dive into why creation itself is sacred rebellion, and why every brushstroke, lyric, or note is an act of worship against the machine.

  • 0008 - Smash Capitalistic Control

    Reverend Riot tears into the machine of greed—corporations that exploit, ads that manipulate, and a system that treats human lives as profit margins. This sermon isn’t about quiet resistance; it’s a call to action. We’ll dig into how punk defiance, worker solidarity, and creative rebellion can break the chains of consumer control and reclaim what really matters: people over profit, community over capital.

  • 0007 - Defend the Oppressed

    In this sermon from Reverend Riot, we take aim at the systems that keep people down—racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and every form of oppression hiding behind polite smiles or political doublespeak. This isn’t about charity; it’s about solidarity. We break down why true punk values demand standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the marginalized, fighting not for them but with them. With a mix of righteous fury and radical love, we call for a world where liberation is non-negotiable.

  • 0006 - DIY or DIE

    In this episode of Reverend Riot and the Punk Rock Parish, we declare independence from the system with the battle cry: DIY or DIE. From basement shows to zines, protest art to permaculture, we explore how building our own systems isn’t just survival—it’s sacred rebellion. Reverend Riot preaches the gospel of self-reliance, creative resistance, and making meaning without permission. No gods, no masters—just duct tape, drumbeats, and determination. This episode is a war cry for anyone who’s ever stitched their own patch, burned their own CD, or dreamed of a world that doesn’t require permission to exist.

  • 0005 - Live Loud, Die Free

    In this electrifying episode of Reverend Riot and the Punk Rock Parish, we crank the volume to maximum and roar into the spirit of resistance through music, movement, and unapologetic identity. “Live Loud, Die Free” is a rallying cry against silence, conformity, and censorship—an ode to the misfits who refuse to be quieted and the cultures that pulse with rhythm, color, and rebellion. Reverend Riot preaches fire about Afro-punk roots, queer expression, street poetry, and the sacred noise of resistance. We spotlight artists who turned volume into victory and dive into how living loud—whether through fashion, protest, or beat—is a radical act of defiance. If you’ve ever been told to quiet down, sit still, or fall in line—this one’s for you.

  • 0004 - Love is Revolutionary

    In this episode, Reverend Riot preaches the radical gospel of love—not the soft, sanitized kind sold back to us by Hallmark, but the fire-breathing, barrier-breaking kind that fuels revolutions. We explore how compassion becomes resistance, how chosen family heals the wounds left by broken systems, and how loving boldly in a world built on division is one of the most rebellious acts we can commit. From street corners to zines to protest lines, this sermon reminds us that in the Punk Rock Parish, love isn’t a weakness—it’s a weapon.

  • 0003 - No Gods, No Masters, Just Community

    EPISODE 3 – “No Gods, No Masters, Just Community”

    Reverend Riot takes the pulpit and sets fire to the golden thrones of power. This sermon dismantles the false idols of empire—flag worship, police loyalty, billionaire saviors, and megachurch messiahs.

    From ICE raids to corporate pulpits, this is a call to reject hierarchy and rediscover power where it’s always belonged: in community.

    We don’t need kings. We need neighbors.

    We don’t follow gods. We follow each other.

    Featuring the hymnal “No Gods No Managers” by Choking Victim.

    With prayer, reflection, and righteous rage—this ain’t salvation.
    It’s liberation.

  • 0002 - Question Everything

    EPISODE 2 – “Question Everything”

    In this firebrand sermon, Reverend Riot pulls no punches as he tears into the myths of American exceptionalism, the rot of capitalism, the sedative of consumerism, and the violence of the police state. Nothing is off-limits. No institution is safe. If it holds power, it gets the spotlight—and the smoke.

    This episode challenges listeners to confront the lies they've been raised on, asking: Who profits from your obedience? From fake freedom to corporate chains, this ain’t just a sermon—it’s a reckoning.

    Featuring the hymnal “And We Thought Nation States Were a Bad Idea” by Propagandhi.

    Ending with a prayer, five hard questions, and a promise:
    We don’t kneel. We question. Until the walls crack.

  • 0000- July 4th Special

    🇺🇸 Episode 0000 – Independence Ain’t Free: A Sermon for the Dispossessed

    Originally released July 4th

    While fireworks light up the sky and flags wave in patriotic trance, Reverend Riot grabs the mic to blow up the myth of American freedom. This kickoff sermon dismantles the sanitized version of independence, dragging it through the mud of ICE raids, police brutality, billionaire worship, and manufactured consent.

    This ain’t a celebration—it’s a reckoning.

    With righteous fury and unrelenting love, we call out the Proud Boys, the January 6th insurrectionists, Trump’s cabinet, and the Heritage Foundation for hijacking the language of liberty. We lift up the oppressed, the working class, and every rebel heart still fighting for a freedom that means something real.

    🗣️ Featuring quotes from:

    • Malcolm X – “You can’t have capitalism without racism.”

    • Martin Luther King Jr. – “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

    • Teddy Roosevelt – “Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president.”

    • George Washington – “Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force.”

      🎶 Hymnal:

      "And We Thought Nation States Were a Bad Idea" – Propagandhi (1996)
      Still screaming truths that cut deeper today than ever.

      📿 In this sermon:

      • The dark side of nationalism

      • Why mutual aid outshines militarized patriotism

      • How America was built on rebellion—and must be rebelled against again

      • A prayer not for peace, but for fire that purifies

        This is the real Independence Day—not for the state, but for the soul.
