The Freevangelic Podcast 1C Story Network

Continuing the theme of investigating what remains after leaving evangelical Christianity, The Freevangelics explore what was The Way that Jesus preached and how his exhortation in the Gospel of John about being The Way to The Father has, perhaps, been mistranslated, misunderstood, and manipulated by Christians for thousands of years.

The Freevangelics explore the deepest biblical roots of the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. Digging deep into Genesis, they uncover the Jewish claim to the land and explore whether and how that claim would still apply thousands of years later. Whose land is it anyway?

The Freevangelics interview Doug Pagitt, Executive Director of Vote Common Good about the disconnect between values and politics in America today. Vote Common Good is committed to helping all people, especially people of faith, to make the Common Good their guide for civic engagement and their voting criteria.

After more than 25 years, the fallout of the Purity Movement within evangelical Christianity has made national headlines through a mass murder conducted by a man who says he was eliminating temptation from his life. Rebeca and Charlie discuss how this decades-old movement shaped their sexuality, personal identities, and marriage and how it continues to shape and damage young people in the church.

 

In this episode, the Freevangelics talk about how as we grow into new knowledge, wisdom, and maturity in the search for Truth we outgrow the old skin of evangelical belief and have to shed it, much like the gumbo limbo tree of Florida does as it grows. Throughout our growth we may shed multiple skins as our wisdom increases, but in doing so we open ourselves to new vulnerability. 

Season Two kicks off with the Freevangelics, Rebeca and Charlie, starting a new exploration of what remains after leaving evangelical Christianity and charting their own faith path. When the Bible is what made you leave, is there still anything left in the Bible you can find useful?
