About this listen

Things get a bit more serious this week. It's a half episode, so no Jennifer. We've talked a lot about why I came back to Christianity, but glossed right over why I walked away from faith thirty years ago. Spoiler alert: it had a lot to do with the "Christian" right.

I get into my initial departure from Christianity, how that decision was reinforced with the arrival of the MAGA movement, and how I reconcile that now. And perhaps more deeply than intended, I talk about the importance of missionaries in my life and the unintelligent conservative right's reaction to it.

We'll be back next week with Episode 2, hopefully with Jennifer, provided the stars align.
