Last week we griped and groaned about the sexual shame we've grown up with, but in part 2 of our sex talk with mental health rehabilitation specialist and the Badventist's resident sex correspondent Laura Marshall, we venture past the shame and towards the pleasure of liberation and liberation of pleasure.

Some articles that have impacted us (well Bryan, who's publishing and writing this description):

This is the first episode in a short series on Adventism's histories of sex and shame and, hopefully, how to grow beyond them. The boys bring in their good friend Laura, who is a certified psychiatric social worker and woman!

Bryan's article that he may have mentioned on this episode but possibly the next?

We wanted to know the skinny on what's happening these days in the Adventist Church. So we called the one Adventist eager talk about it to us Badventists. Ryan “The GATEKEEPER” Becker of The Absurdity Podcast with Ryan Becker (THE gatekeeper) waxes poetic and prophesies the road to come. And Bryan talks about caves.

Does Jesus have to be real in order to be Real? Is Jesus propaganda? Joined with our friend and secular correspondent Madhav Soni, we explore and challenge the presuppositions we have when approaching the topic of Jesus.

We interview Lynne McTaggart, writer of The Power of Eight, about a new (old?) theory and practice of prayer, its connection to the early church, and how we can change ourselves and the world around us.

We are led by esoteric scholar and author Mitch Horowitz down a plethora of overlooked rabbit holes. It's an honor to have him on this episode talking about the mad 1840s that gave William Miller and so many others a platform, Satanism, and how we can be mindful seekers as we explore our faith.

This episode got long and we had to unfortunately cut some material. But when asked what recommendations he had for those on their own spiritual journey, Mitch immediately recommended the work of Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Also, stick around to the end for some #compliance humor!

Read some of Mitch's work!

Two fellas talking about the Divine. Is God a deity of love? A psychopathic genocidaire? A gender-bending transcendence? How can garden metaphors help us better understand the divine? We don’t answer these questions, obviously. But we end up in a better place to ask them.
