The Iscariot Generation
The thing Judas Iscariot was famous for was his betrayal of Jesus in the gospels. While I'm not sure if he even existed, some historians say yes and some say no, I think he's definitely someone I can relate to. I left the faith and resigned from ministry in 2019. To some, that seemed like a betrayal to Jesus. This podcast is a place for people like me, who left faith for reason. A place for former ministers or just former Christians to come and look at the reasons we left our faith. A place of healing and acceptance for some of us who have been dragged through the mud because we dared to stop believing. I will talk about my struggles, I will look at some popular teachings and Bible stories from a more skeptical perspective, and I will share your stories as well.

S03E21 Summer Flashback: Don't Let Me Break You
It's summertime and we're on break for the month of July, so this month, we'll be replaying episodes 3-6 of Season 2. This was a series we did on the Manson Family as we were looking at religiously motivated crimes. In this episode, I talk about Manson's release from prison into the 1967 Summer of Love environment in California. Manson builds "the family" and relocates it, eventually, to Spawn Ranch just outside of Los Angeles. Charlie's philosophies lead to rapid paranoia, abuse, and murder.
