It’s All Gonna Be Okay (Series Finale)

Well they say all rotten things must come to an end. In this final episode, I have a laid back conversation with my friend, the Pastor of Pump himself, Danny Prada. We talk about our respective journeys, how we have grown as individuals, how DRCK has impacted our lives, and how we feel as it all comes to a close. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for so many wonderful moments. I feel honored to have created this show and thrilled by what it has meant to so many Bad Apples like me. Keep up the Dirty Work. And remember, It’s all gonna be okay. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What I Wish I Knew About Deconstruction

On this, second to last DRCK episode, I had the privilege of hanging out with my friend Janice (God Has Not Given! Bad Words! General Menace!) , and new friend Tim (The New Evangelicals!). We discuss the things we would go back and tell ourselves about our personal deconstruction journeys– the good, the bad, the dogmatic. We also discuss platform culture, how we feel about worship music, and play a game of Youth Group or Boy Band. Brought to you by BoyZone Learn more about your ad choices.

The situation with Josh was handled exactly how y’all used to criticize others for handling hard situations/conversations. He messed up & it was covered up & we never heard from him again. He deserved the chance to explain himself or at least apologize. How is this different from the situations y’all have criticized churches & church leaders for? People are human & make mistakes & deserve redemption. The pod has obviously suffered from the way everything was handled. I can only listen to the OG episodes because the weirdness is too apparent in the episodes without Josh.
Amazing!

I deeply appreciate the space Adrian has created for those of us growing and changing and possibly moving out of evangelicalism.

Jenna hates josh harris

This pod was a gateway into a community that has saved me. But the vagueness and not getting to hear from josh after his ousting…kind put a damper on this pod. Still great stuff from Adrian but we put years in with you guys. We deserved to hear from josh.
