    Joel: The Heretic and Psalmist | Freedom Beyond the Institution

    In this live broadcast, host Found By Voice sits down with Joel Schley (author of The Heretic & Psalmist), alongside guest appearances from Phyllis J. Robinson and Ron Copeland. Key Highlights from the Conversation: * Why “The Heretic & Psalmist”? Joel breaks down his title—embracing “heretic” not as a denial of Christ, but as a willingness to challenge institutionalized power structures, while “psalmist” represents the raw, uncensored human experience before God. * Overcoming Trauma & Finding Identity: Joel shares his personal story of growing up homeschooled, serving in staff ministry, surviving 14 years in a high-control/cultic church environment, and the mental health turning point that brought him to real healing. * Institutional Fatigue vs. True Community: A deep dive into pastor burnout, the problem with church “empire building,” and why egalitarian, neighbor-focused community reflects the early church far more than commercialized institutions. * Audience Q&A & Guest Reflections: Phyllis J. Robinson joins to discuss theological trauma, spiritual formation, and legalism, followed by reflections from Ron Copeland and live audience commentary.

    Today we went live on Substack with author and podcast host Jason Creery for a deeply moving conversation about redemption, faith, and rebuilding life from the ground up. Jason shares a powerful story: surviving 30 years of severe addiction, spending 22 years living on the streets from age 15 to 44, and ultimately finding inner peace and true transformation in July 2025.
