Frank, thank you SO MUCH for this timely and necessary interview!!
Amazing discussion, thank you both!
My detoxification from authoritarian Christianity has been a slow painful crawl. Thank you for this video. As a therapist I see every week how toxic fear causes action paralysis, anxiety and depression.
Boy do I need this conversation. Entered the evangelical religious movement in 1985. Was married to a sociopathic pastor. Much therapy through the years. Really struggling still. The movement towards Trump has destroyed many relationships. Working towards healing 🙏
I always appreciate it SO much when men bring up patriarchy and the systemic oppression of women (
I haven’t visited anyone’s FaceBook page for years. I found this on UA-cam so now I’ll break my aversion and visit yours, Frank.
Thank you! I came from the evangelical community, and it’s been a lifetime of therapy to get healthy.
Totally agreed.
I wish Marlene had sat next to my dad on an airplane. Lol. That would be quite a conversation.
this is why i chucked out calvinism. its pure, sick codependency.
This conversation resonates with me. Especially the difference between pulpit and home.... I was raised by a fanatical southern baptist minister. Thankfully when my dad was in his 50's he left the fanatical behind and became a very inclusive minister. He was still a Baptist Minister but he spent several years (till his death) at a church that thought like he did which went a long way in helping me. My dad was very apologetic for how he raised his kids and watching him become a real man of God who truly cared about his family, his church family and his community was so healing for me and our family.
YES!!! ABSOLUTELY!
Really appreciated this talk, I was raised in a relatively conservative Mexican Catholic family and after moving to the US I started to become fundamentalist about it in my high school and college years (mainly by going to the Mass that’s still done in Latin) and especially around 2016 I was hanging out with alt-right folks even if I wasn’t white enough for them (so maybe that was internalized racism on my part), after Trump got elected I became disillusioned with that movement and for the next four years I started shifting left slowly but surely but I was still very much loyal to the Church otherwise so I opposed abortion and marriage equality until the very end.
Thanks. Good talk.
I have recently learned about street epistemology as a method to effectively communicate. I sure wish I had of learned it 30 yrs ago. As much as I thought I had moved on from the religious trauma I was raised in (Mormon fundamentalist polygamy cult) I have so much hurt under my anger. Will be looking into the doctors resources for help in my work to heal. Thank you for sharing this important discussion.
It seems as though they'd never read/heard the words of Christ. I'm a recovering Catholic. Have never looked back. Now I belong to The "Church of Holy Roman Kindness." I try to treat peeps as Christ would. Simple and oh so liberating!! I now clearly see the cult-like aspect of the RC, not as intense as other religions, but shamed for being human. I'm done with the concept of original sin. I questioned it as a small child and their explanation is full of holes anyway. I see a lot of religious trauma here in Utah. One light bulb that went off for me one time: Jesus said to love others as you love yourself. I only heard the love others part. Now, I am learning to practice the 2nd part. Beaten w a belt? Frank, there's your anger issue!
Hai Frank aku bisa ketemu kamu di sini, semangat ya dan tetap jadi berkat. 👍👏😍🙏
Frank and Marlene I too can totally emphasize with you. I too after much questioning have come out of fundemental Evangelism, but have retained my faith in God and the person of Jesus. After twenty years of no church going I have come across people who I can totally agree with. I had come to same conclusions. Check out Fr Richard Rohr Franciscan's Christ centred understanding. Brian McLaren, Paul Young's progressive Christianity and Brad Jerzak (Eastern Orthodox) have validated much to which I side with. There is good religion and there is bad. Fundelmentalism is unreality with biased blinkered blindness. Am I a Christian? Yes A Christ centred human who is both human with a divine centre. My Big True Self! Am I totally whole. Not yet but as John the Baptist said after baptizing Jesus, He (Christ in us) must increase and my small independent self must decrease. Christ is in ALL the non Christian simply is still unaware of this. Our walk (the light) rather than our talk (preaching judgement etc) draws them to God in the woof and fibre of everything. Our task is not to react but use our past experience to build on and progress in our journey. Frank and Marlene full marks for your honest dialogue. What needs to be done is love and live out REAL Christianity and not what you have been describing. 👏
👍👍👍👍
If a loving God is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent, why does evil exist?
