Evangelicalish

Just Because You Say “No Offense” Doesn’t Mean You’re Not Offensive We’ve all heard it — and maybe even said it: “No offense…” before dropping a comment that’s, well… offensive. In this episode, we unpack why slapping “no offense” in front of a statement doesn’t make it harmless, how it’s often used to dodge accountability, and why words matter more than the disclaimers we attach to them. From church small talk to political debates, we explore how this phrase shows up, the damage it can do, and how to replace it with honesty, empathy, and actual respect. 🎧 Listen in and let’s talk about better ways to speak the truth without causing unnecessary harm. #NoOffense #WordsMatter #SacredRebellion #ChristianDeconstruction #LGBTQVoices #SpiritualAbuseRecovery #FaithDeconstruction #BoundariesMatter #PodcastEpisode #TruthInLove 🎧 Thank you for listening to Evangelicalish!

You were never too sensitive. You were always too wonderful to be suppressed. Christians have been told to be grateful, to give up understanding and... always be "closing" on converting others. American Christianity has a book making the rounds claiming that empathy is dangerous—a kind of emotional weakness that leads people astray. That it’s “soft on sin.” Join Paul and Ashley Swearengin for the 🎙 Evangelicalish Sunday Livestream and decide if Empathy is toxic — or if this is just toxic theology? #Evangelicalish #ReligiousRightReligiouslyWrong - #ProgressiveChristian #SpiritualDeconstruction #QueerTheology #FaithAfterReligion #HolyRebellion #SacredRebuttals 🎧 Thank you for listening to Evangelicalish!Connect with Us:Join Pastor Paul's Substack Community: Sacred RebellionCheck out Paul’s international blog with the anti-empire group The Quollective 📲 Follow Evangelicalish:Instagram | TikTok | YouTubePaul's Blog on The Quollective Blog Site 🎧 Subscribe & Review:Help us reach others by subscribing, rating, and leaving a review wherever you listen. 💛 Support our work: ISH/Pastor-Paul WebsiteBuy Paul’s Book: Religious Right Religiously Wrong: A Modern Day Parable 🌐 More from Paul & Ashley:ISH/Pastor-Paul WebsiteEvangelicalish Livestream Sundays at 9am PTThank you for being part of this growing, healing, irreverent, and hopeful community.

Are Evangelical Prophets following the lead of Elon Musk and mining data for profiting from propheting? Tara Jean Stevens of the Heaven Bent Podcast dives into the story that "prophets" are getting their information about conference goers from Social Media, not from heaven. Some of these prophets are people Paul and Ashley knew pretty well in their evangelical days.

@UnconventionalPastorPaul talks of how ethical decisions must be made ahead of difficult situations that require a higher level of morality. The lack of such ethical foundations, Pastor Paul argues, are why the Republican Christian view of Immigrants, today, parallels the view of Jonah and people not of his race and religion; and why the god of Jonah's story asked him "How's that feeling of disdain for others working out for ya?" 🎧 Thank you for listening to Evangelicalish!
