Is Empathy Toxic? Evangelicalish Podcast
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

Ethics: The story of Jonah, Religious Nationalism, Deportations and MAGA Christians
@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!

The Comfort of the Mob or Courage of a Spirit of Christ
Why do people join a sectarian church community? Or MAGA? Or a mindset group like conspiracy theory followers? It's to gain identity from inclusion in that group. Too often, that group turns inward to become an "us" and soon starts looking to demonize "them" - those who are not us. And once demonization and dehumanization starts of "them," out come the torches and pitchforks and everyone better LOOK OUT! Getting out of the mob is messy and scary and, according to Pastor Paul... totally worth it. Come listen to the Unconventional Conversation. 🎧 Thank you for listening to Evangelicalish!
