Inquisitive Pontification Nathan R. Carlsen
-
- Maatschappij en cultuur
Inquisitive Pontification is an exploration of my understandings of different topics like Politics, Religion, Faith, Policy, film, television, popular culture, my crazy Uber rides (I'm a driver) and the people I meet, etc... And, hopefully, along the way, I'll be challenged on my ideas and paradigms of how I view the world and perhaps I'll grow. Maybe, just maybe, you'll want to grow with me too.

Religious Cult I'SOT Survivor - Zaundia
In this episode, I talk with an old friend of mine. Her name is Zaundia, she and I met in Duluth Minnesota years ago at a church called The Vineyard. Today she shares a story of a cult that she was able to escape from in California. This religious cult is called I'SOT (In Search of Truth). I wasn't aware of the name of the cult to begin with, as you see. But after some digging during a break on this episode, I was able to find out some more information.
Below are some links with more information:

Community after Tragedy with Pastor Michael Houle
Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin made national news because of the terrible tragedy after Lilly was murdered by her relative. I asked Michael Houle, a pastor for the Vineyard Church in Chippewa Falls, to talk to me about how a community can heal from such a tragedy and what we, as Christians, should be doing and what we should not be doing.
This episode was recorded before the more recent tragedy in Uvalde, Texas. I plan on addressing it in a future episode, but the bottom line is that we need to do more than thoughts and prayers.

What makes a church a cult? - S2E8
Amanda and I discuss her experience with the Duluth Bible Church. A church in Duluth Minnesota that she says is a cult. We discuss her problems with it, why she says it's a cult, and the differences between unhealthy churches that are cults, or have cult-like characteristics and healthy churches and what makes them healthy. We also discuss gender, sex, orientation, race, politics and film. (so yeah, pretty much one of the best conversations ever :)
