The Excommunication Station

This week, we talk about how dispensationalism and the idea of the rapture traveled from the UK to the USA and expanded and exploded. We talked about James Brookes, DL Moody and CI Scofield. 

This week, we talk about the origins of the rapture and that would lead us to the 1800's and British clergyman John Nelson Darby.

We have a very special guest and we continue our talk about mental health and the church with George Azar, the author of My Gay Church Days.  Buy his book and the proceeds go to the Trevor Project. https://www.mygaychurchdays.com/product-page/support-the-book

Donavon and Chaz discuss trauma and Complex PTSD and Religious Trauma Syndrome. 

This week, we talk about the church's terrible ways they counsel people with mental health issues.

This week, Chaz speaks to his long time friend, Jaime Patterson. She is an amazing person.  Check out her work at https://www.hiddenexposurephotography.com

This week, Donavon and Chaz watch the 1972 academy award winning documentary, Marjoe. The story of a child preacher who later in life, tries to expose the world to the greed and dishonesty. 

The War rages on and we lived through it and now we are able to talk about it. 

On our first christmas episode, Donovan and Chaz and eventually Chrissy talk about the history of Santa and on our Christmas past.

Big episode this week where I interview Phil Drysdale. He is a specialist in the deconstruction community and I am very thankful for his time and his knowledge.
