Surviving Fundamentalism

This week, I discuss whether or not my diagnoses are fuel to relight my pentecostal fire. I explore why it's difficult to exist as the same person in many of the same spaces, with so much new information about myself and the world. I have deconstructed my fundamentalist, literalist belief system and I have decolonized my mind. I have returned to the divine nature of my being and I honor those who look like me who are my ancestors who gave their blood and bones for me. 

This week, I give my normal weekly update, while providing a look into what it was like being neurodivergent in the fundamentalist church and what it's like to not understand nuances and colloquialisms. That shit is literal torment for neurodivergent people. That's not even to mention the noise and overstimulation that goes on in churches. Subscribe. Share the show if you enjoy

This week, we take some time to have a deeply personal conversation about not giving precedence to other people's emotions over our own. This episode is about self-validation, communication, authenticity, and integrity in relationships. I hope this helps somebody. 

This episode is simply an update on all of the madness going on in my life and how I'm dealing with it. I hope to get back to deconstructing very soon. Until then, Happy Easter!

Chiiiiillllleeeee, this week on SF, we discuss the importance of context, history, and perspective when reading the Judeo-Christian text, and how women were viewed as incubators for whom consent, and respect did not matter. However, what did matter was where the men of that tribe put their seed and whether or not it was considered good for them to "waste" it. We also discuss self-pleasure, mutual respect, and a host of other things. I love you for listening!

Marriage is not the only institution that can contain the union of any two consenting adults. In this episode, we talk about making awareness, autonomy, and consent the starting point for all things sexuality, which, in turn, serves to foster a healthy image of oneself through sexual freedom and consciousness. 

This episode is all about how your body is yours. You have full authority and autonomy over your body, not the church. We discuss the ways in which our autonomy is taken from us, with the church believing it has full power and control of us because it believes itself to be a vessel of God. But that vessel is broken and so are its definitions of God, Sex, Sexuality, and a host of other things we are deconstructing in this episode. Please join us for this series. 

This week, we discuss the emotionally manipulative ways in which shame is utilized within fundamentalist Christianity and how it affected me in particular.

On this week's episode, we discuss the power that an inner yes has to transition you from a moment of discord or dysfunction into a moment of peace. When you bring an inner yes to whatever situation that is happening in the present moment, that very thing becomes a doorway into the formless, and the separation between the world and God dissolves. You literally can resign to your inner Godspace, where you don't need to be right or wrong--the place where peace resides. Thank you for listening.
