What's the most harmful myth you were taught by purity culture?

Just had a fascinating conversation with @lizcharlottegrant.bsky.social about her book, Knock at the Sky.

It was fun to take a trip far off the beaten path of topics I usually cover, and dive deep into the literary text of Genesis and how it has been interpreted and applied over thousands of years.

It's impossible to please everyone. The question is whether you're disappointing the right people.

Part of setting healthy boundaries is deciding who you're willing to let down.

Broadly speaking, the American church is rarely as “counter-cultural” as it purports to be.

Wishing all of you a wonderful holiday.

Overwhelmingly grateful for the kindness and support so many of you have shown me since I started this show.

Look forward to spending more time together in 2025.

See you then! 🖤

James McMillan is the former pastor of both Slaughterville Baptist Church and First Baptist Church of Konawa.

He was arrested November 27, 2024 for lewd or indecent acts to a child under 16, and investigators say there could be more victims.

It’s honestly appalling how many vitriolic messages and comments I receive from people who claim to be Christian.

What’s even more frustrating is the glaring lack of media literacy among many of them.

“I’m not going to be a hypocrite when I’ve been in a religion of hypocrites for so long.”

I recently appeared on the Divorcing Religion Podcast hosted by registered professional counselor Janice Selbie.

I opened up quite a bit about my experiences grappling with faith.

Bethany Joy Lenz shared in her book, Dinner for Vampires, that when people hear she was part of a 'cult,' they’re often disappointed it wasn’t something in-your-face like Scientology or full of robes and rituals.

Instead, it was just a small Bible study that spiraled out of control.

In case you were under the impression that IBLP had actually put some separation between themselves and disgraced founder Bill Gothard…

You probably know that Bethany Joy Lenz spent a decade playing a lead character in the cult TV show, One Tree Hill.

What you probably didn't know is that behind the scenes, she was trapped in a real-life cult.
