Encouraging, Insightful
After 23 years in an Evangelical, homeschool, ultra-conservative world, I finally got the courage to leave the toxicity and find safety. Deconstructing is hard. Before I found this podcast, I was ready to throw away the Bible along the with hateful, abusive messages I had been told it contained. Nate and Tim are doing an amazing job of parsing out what the Bible *actually* says and have restored some of my faith that God and Bible might not be all about hating people. I believe every Christian has the obligation to do what Nate and Tim do: research the historical context, the original language, and the Biblical authors to understand what the Bible is really saying. Almost no pastors are doing this, and it's literally their job.
