   #125 I Confronted Bethels #1 Hater (Jubilee Dawn) | Deep Drinks Podcast

   What happens when someone who lived inside Bethel’s world finally tells the whole story? In this episode of the Deep Drinks Podcast, I sit down with Jubilee Dawn to talk about Bethel, the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry, charismatic Christianity, prophecy, healing culture, spiritual abuse, and what it looks like to deconstruct after years of believing it all was real. We get into the rise of Bethel’s influence, the media and personalities that helped shape that world, and the deeper cost of movements built on supernatural claims that never seem to deliver when it matters most. https://posty.social/@deepdrinks

   #124 The Real Reason Faith Survives Bad Evidence | Deep Drinks Podcast

   In this episode of Deep Drinks, I sit down with Professor Neil Van Leeuwen, author of Religion as Make-Believe, to unpack one of the most fascinating ideas I’ve come across in the psychology and philosophy of religion. We explore the difference between factual belief and religious credence, why some beliefs update with evidence while others seem untouched by it, and why so many conversations between believers, atheists and apologists end up going nowhere. https://posty.social/@deepdrinks MUSIC: @dcuttermusic

   #123 Gay Pastor Comes Out (Ps Aaron Kelly) | Deep Drinks Podcast

   In this episode of Deep Drinks, I’m joined by Aaron Kelly, a former pastor who came out publicly in 2020 after years of trying to “pray the gay away” and navigating church-led conversion practices. We unpack what the Bible does (and doesn’t) say about homosexuality, the “clobber verses”, Sodom and Gomorrah, purity culture, and what deconstruction looks like when your faith, community, and identity collide. Honest, messy, and surprisingly hopeful. https://posty.social/@deepdrinks MUSIC: @dcuttermusic
