Why does Christianity sound so toxic?

If you've ever felt that Christianity sounds harsh, judgmental, or controlling, you're not alone. 30% of religious people report experiencing religious trauma from toxic church environments.

But what if I told you there's a theory that explains why?

It's called The Distortion Theory.

In this episode, I'm introducing a framework that explains why Christianity sounds so different from what it's supposed to be. As an audio engineer, I've learned that a clean signal can sound completely different, even unrecognizable, when it's pushed through a distorted delivery system.

The same thing has happened to Christianity.

The Christianity you've heard has been distorted. It's been pushed through a broken delivery system that added shame, fear, and control that weren't in the original message.

In this episode, we'll cover:

✅ Why Christianity sounds toxic (it's been distorted in the delivery)

✅ What got added that wasn't in the original (shame, fear, control)

✅ How to identify the distortion (the audio engineer method)

✅ What the clean signal actually sounds like (the original message)

✅ How to hear Christianity without the distortion

If you've been hurt by toxic Christianity, legalism, or religious trauma, this episode is for you.
