    Make Blasphemy Great Again

    Send us Fan Mail This week on Bible Bravery & Buls#!t, Michael Regina drops by for a gloriously unhinged deep dive into Christian excuse-making at its finest. We’re talking AI Jesus vibes, selective outrage, social media saints, and the exhausting lengths people will go to defend the indefensible. It’s funny, messy, a little mean, and probably too real for church people who still think discernment means blaming Obama. ✦ Like what you heard?

    Would Jesus Be Considered Unholy Today? Holiness Was Never Meant to Exclude

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Bible, Bravery, and Bulls#!t, we sit in the tension a lot of us have felt but didn’t always have language for: 👉 What if holiness was never meant to separate us from people? 👉 What if we’ve been protecting something Jesus never tried to protect? 👉 What if the way we’ve used holiness has actually pushed people away from God? Because when we actually look at Jesus… He didn’t build distance. He built tables. He didn’t avoid outsiders. He identified with them. He didn’t protect his holiness from people… he brought it into proximity with people. #BibleBraveryAndBullshit #DeconstructingFaith #ChurchReform #Holiness #JesusModel #FaithUnfiltered #ChristianDeconstruction #SpiritualGrowth #ChurchHurt #FaithJourney #RealTalkFaith #Exvangelical #ProgressiveChristianity #UnlearnRelearn #FaithPodcast ✦ Like what you heard?

    Guest Stan Mitchell: Hell, Fear, and the Business of Separation

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Bible Bravery and B******t, Dan and Stan Mitchell unpack one of the most toxic ideas in church culture: that you were born already at odds with God and needed fear, shame, and endless striving to get back in. This is a conversation about original sin, original blessing, queer inclusion, church hurt, and why the God in the garden still came looking for people hiding in shame. Honest, healing, and just disruptive enough to matter. #BibleBraveryAndBullshit #StanMitchell #BadNewsGospel #ProgressiveChristianity #ChurchHurt #FaithDeconstruction #SpiritualHealing ✦ Like what you heard?

    Guest Stan Mitchell: The Church Was Wrong Before

    Send us Fan Mail The church has been wrong before. The question is whether we’re brave enough to admit it again. Dan sits down with Stan Mitchell to talk about queer kids, Christian parents, mixed-orientation marriages, bad theology, and the long, painful work of helping families choose love over fear. This conversation is honest as hell and full of the kind of nuance most culture-war Christians can’t seem to hold onto. From Pentecostal roots to progressive faith, Dan and Stan unpack what conservative Christianity got right, what it got deeply wrong, and why queer suffering should be more than enough reason to revisit the theology we were handed. This episode is about bridge-building, spiritual courage, and the question too many churches still won’t face: What if we’re not defending truth. What if we’re defending harm? #BibleBraveryAndBullshit #StanMitchell #ProgressiveChristianity #Exvangelical #LGBTQInclusion #QueerTheology #ReligiousTrauma #FaithDeconstruction ✦ Like what you heard?

    The Most Dangerous Thing Jesus Said: Christianity vs Empire

    Send us Fan Mail What’s the most dangerous thing Jesus ever said? Not “love your enemies.” Not “pick up your cross.” It was this: “The Kingdom of God is at hand.” Because in Jesus’ world, there was already a kingdom… Rome. In this episode we unpack why Jesus’ message wasn’t just spiritual — it was a direct challenge to empire, power, and systems that crush the vulnerable. If you’re rethinking faith, questioning Christian nationalism, or trying to rediscover the radical message of Jesus beyond the noise of modern religion, this one might shake a few things loose. #BibleBraveryBullshit #FaithDeconstruction #Exvangelical #ChristianDeconstruction #ProgressiveChristianity #JesusAndEmpire #KingdomOfGod #FaithAfterEvangelicalism #DeconstructingFaith #ChristianNationalism #ReclaimingFaith #RadicalJesus ✦ Like what you heard?

    Heaven Is Not the Point (And the Church Has Missed That Badly)

    Send us Fan Mail What if the point of Christianity was never escaping earth… but transforming it? A lot of us were taught faith is about surviving life long enough to get to heaven. But that mindset can quietly make us disengage from justice, suffering, and the people right in front of us. In this episode, we challenge the theology that turns the gospel into an exit strategy and rediscover the message Jesus actually preached: bringing the kingdom of heaven to earth. If you're deconstructing, questioning what you were taught, or trying to rebuild a faith that actually changes the world, this conversation is for you. #BibleBraveryBullshit #FaithDeconstruction #Exvangelical #ProgressiveChristian #DeconstructingFaith #PostEvangelical #KingdomOfGod #ChristianReconstruction #FaithJourney #QuestionEverything #SpiritualReconstruction #InclusiveFaith ✦ Like what you heard?

    Love, Truth, and Why Silence Isn’t Holy: When Love Means Letting Go

    Send us Fan Mail We were told that if we just loved hard enough, everything would work out. But what happens when you loved deeply… and it still ended? In this episode, Dan reframes one of Christianity’s most quoted verses: “Love never fails.” What if that promise was never about saving every relationship? What if it was about preserving your integrity? Dan tackles: Why “love wins” theology has kept people in toxic situationsThe dangerous confusion between endurance and holinessHow churches use “unity” and “love” to silence truthWhy boundaries are not unforgivenessHow love can remain intact even when relationships don’tThis conversation connects personal relationships, church culture, and political silence — exposing how “just be loving” has sometimes meant “don’t rock the boat.” Love doesn’t fail when a relationship ends. Love fails when you lose yourself trying to save it. If you’ve ever wondered whether walking away meant you failed… this episode might set you free. ✦ Like what you heard?

    The Most Toxic Women’s Conference Sermon I’ve Ever Heard: The Eagle vs The Ostrich

    Send us Fan Mail We’ve been told our whole lives that we need to “soar like eagles.” But what if that sermon was never about ranking people in the first place? In this episode, Dan breaks down a popular women’s conference message that turns Job 39 into a spiritual personality test: Are you an ostrich… or an eagle? What sounds inspiring on the surface is actually a perfect example of how the church turns metaphors into measuring sticks — and poetry into hierarchy. Dan unpacks: Why Job was never about obedience, but protestHow Christians weaponize “God said” to end conversationsThe church’s obsession with spiritual rankingWhy feeling grounded or exhausted doesn’t make you inferiorHow hierarchy thinking fuels both church harm and political silenceIf you’ve ever left a sermon feeling “less than,” this episode is for you. The animals aren’t on trial. Our assumptions are. ✦ Like what you heard?
