  • John Fugelsang: "The Separation of Church and Hate"

    John Fugelsang: "The Separation of Church and Hate"
    Sep 28 2025

    John Fugelsang is a fierce advocate for the “separation of church and hate.” This week, the irreverent host of Sirius XM’s “Tell Me Everything” takes on Christianity in the US, which he says has been hijacked by those who misunderstand or misuse the Bible in ways that are controlling, oppressive, and destructive. With sharp humor and intellect, Fugelsang argues for the love, mercy, and service that are supposed to make up the heart of Christianity.

    In his new NYT best selling book, “Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person's Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds,” comedian and broadcaster John Fugelsang (pronounced “Fyoo-gull-sang,” despite Kelly mispronouncing it in the show intro. ;-)) challenges fundamentalist arguments on hot button issues using scripture, common sense, and deeply inappropriate humor. Find more about John Fugelsang at johnfugelsang.com or listen to his show "Tell Me Everything with John Fugelsang" on Sirius XM Progress.

  • A Conversation with Brian E. Pearson Part 2

    A Conversation with Brian E. Pearson Part 2
    Sep 21 2025
    In this two-part adventure, Mark talks with Brian E. Pearson, priest, musician, and author, for a deep and wide-ranging conversation about vocation, soul, and joy. Brian reflects on his years of ministry in the Anglican Church of Canada, including his time as rector of St. Stephen’s in Calgary—and the moment that nearly cost him his calling when he was warned by his bishop, “Do this again and you will be fired,” after officiating a marriage for a trans parishioner. Our journey takes us through his parallel passion for music and the near-miss of a professional career, his love of writing, and his latest book, Talking to Trees: A Journey into Soul. We explore the transformative impact of his work with the Animas Valley Institute, founded by Bill Plotkin, and how that opened him to a deeper exploration of the human soul. Along the way, Brian and I wrestle with the question of the divine—what it means to us, how we encounter it, and how it shapes our lives. And we discover the many ways Brian continues to live out his joy: in faith, in music, in nature, and in the calling to speak honestly about love that includes us all. This is a conversation about risk, resilience, and rediscovering the soul’s song—a reminder that radical love is not only possible, but necessary. Find out more about Brian on his website at BrianEPearson.ca, where you can order a hand-signed copy of Talking to Trees and listen to his podcast The Mystic Cave. ***** Special thanks to our sponsors at Quoir, publishers of The Quollective.
