REVcovery

This week we interview Derek Myers, better known on the internet as "Derek the Heretic." Derek is also one half of "Your Favorite Heretics" so combined with Justin and Sarah you need to brace yourselves for a whole lot of heresy. But seriously, Derek is one of the most kind people we have had on the show and their journey of healing is one we are very happy to share with you.Welcome to the REVcovery Room!If you would like to join a community of like minded people check out our Patreon: patreon.com/revcoveryThis podcast is edited by Elizabeth Nordenholt from Podcat Audio: https://elizabethnordenholt.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Friends we are so very excited to welcome Bradely Onishi to the REVcovery Room!Bradley is a former pastor, the co-host of the "Straight White American Jesus" podcast and author of the upcoming book "Preparing for War: The Extremist History of White Christian Nationalism--and What Comes Next." What we enjoyed so much about this conversation is Bradley's strength of character and vulnerability in articulating his journey both into and out of ministry. When we reach a turning point in our lives it is easy to feel like we never had a choice but we hope this conversation becomes an invitation to see the path forward through your own eyes, maybe for the first time.Welcome to the REVcovery Room!You can preorder Bradely's book wherever books are sold.

This week we interview Josiah Mahon host of the "Slow Train to Heck" podcast! Josiah faced a choice that many of us in REVcovery have had to face; do I tell the truth or do I stay silent? He chose the former and as many of us know the consequences were wide-ranging and unpredictable. Fortunately Josiah was able to find a path forward and for that we are very grateful because he is a truly delightful human being and his story is one that we are very exited to share.Welcome to the REVcovery Room!If you would like to join a community of like minded people check out our Patreon: patreon.com/revcoveryIf you would like to see us live we will be at Theology Beer Camp in Chapel Hill, NC on October 13-15.

This week we welcome to the REVcovery Room the Naked Pastor himself, David Hayward. If you have ever asked questions about your faith and been on the internet you have probably run into one of David's cartoons. They speak so well to the experience many of us find ourselves in.David was a pastor for a number of years and ultimately made the choice to lean into his questions and the creative pursuits that came out of them. We are so grateful that he did and The Naked Pastor is a wonderful testament to the fact that your creative life can survive, and even thrive, after you leave the ministry. We hope you enjoy your time with him as much as we did.If you want to see his work in print you can check out his new book "Flip it Like This" available right now.If you would like to join a community of like minded people check out our Patreon: patreon.com/revcoveryIf you would like to see us live we will be at Theology Beer Camp in Chapel Hill, NC on October 13-15.

Friends we are so delighted to introduce you to our friend Janice Lagata! Her career has included many things from managing the stage for Hillsong New York to writing uncredited jokes for her senior pastor's sermons. It was alot of work and none of it paid because...reasons.Janice speaks powerfully to the lure of charismatic leaders and movements, how people of color are often treated in these spaces, and what the process of waking up to yourself and getting out is like.
