Amateur Faith Night Amateur Faith Night

Many people find it challenging to make friends when they leave a legalistic church and leave their community behind. (UPCI or others) They feel betrayed and their trust is broken.  Jen sits down with Gary's wife Kelly to discuss their friendship that was built during Jen's time of healing and encourage those who just left that things do get better with time.

Join us in this episode where we break down the correct and incorrect definitions of the term, "legalism".  How would you know if you attended a legalistic church?  Have you ever viewed God as a tyrant, or depended on yourself for your salvation?  Gary is a character from Star Wars, and Jen discloses how she still reverts to her old views about God's personality.  Lots of information packed in this episode!

Over the years of speaking out about the spiritual abuse of the United Pentecostal Church, we have been accused of many things such as "bashing" and "attacking" the organization.  This video explains the real reasons why we do what we do, and spoiler alert, it has nothing to do with bashing.  Added bonus, Gary and Jereme talk movie reviews.   Called to Freedom Conference link: https://bereanholiness.com/conference/

This is the last installment of our three-part series on hair and debunking the UPCI's teachings on the subject. Jen does not know how to pronounce the Greek words, but the spelling and definitions will be available in the video.  Does the Bible actually teach women cannot cut their hair at all?  Does a woman have power on her head because of her hair?  These questions and more are answered as we make our way through 1 Corinthians chapter 11.

Unpopular opinions are flowing in this episode as we continue our discussion about 1 Corinthians chapter 11.  Was this chapter meant for all women, all the time?  What was Paul's actual purpose and do his ideas transcend culture?  Also, Gary renames the UPCI, maybe it will catch on?

This is the first episode of a three part series breaking down 1 Corinthians chapter 11 and the UPCI's common teachings on women's hair.  Gary sings, and we may or may not have recorded this episode twice, but we are excited to share!

If you have small kiddos around, you may want to be mindful as there are some archaic sexual references made relevant to the times and culture.
