Podcast Overview

What if the things Jesus was doing and saying before Christianity—before the creeds, the power structures, the purity codes—are the same things that provide a path out of this critical, chaotic moment we're in now - As Christianity collapses? NOT Jesus as the singular solution to every problem, as confessional religion has taught for centuries. Instead: Jesus is the posture and playbook through which we run our problems. Not because it will solve them all, but because it will shape us to approach them with empathy, kindness, compassion, justice, and mercy—rather than fear, anger, violence

Jesus After Christianity - Episode 11

In Episode 11 of Jesus After Christianity, we revisit one of the most misunderstood—and most revealing—moments in the Jesus story: the temple incident. The tables. The disruption. The public confrontation. Not a random outburst, but a deliberate act that exposes what happens when spirituality becomes a marketplace and power hides behind “holiness.”This episode explores the temple not just as a religious site, but as an economic and political machine—an institution that could bless the system while burdening ordinary people. We talk about what Jesus was actually targeting: exploitation wrapped in sacred language, gatekeeping disguised as devotion, and a religious order that made access to God feel expensive, conditional, and controlled.We also wrestle with the implications for today. What does it mean to follow Jesus if his clearest act of anger wasn’t aimed at “sinners,” but at religious profiteering and spiritual manipulation? What kinds of modern temples still trade in fear, shame, and status—while calling it faith?Episode 11 is about holy disruption: the courage to confront institutions that harm, the clarity to separate God from the systems that claim to represent God, and the possibility that liberation sometimes starts with flipping the script—right in the center of what’s considered sacred.

Jesus After Christianity - Episode 10

In Episode 10 of Jesus After Christianity, we name what so many people have felt but were taught not to say out loud: religion can be oppressive. Not just personally painful, but socially and spiritually controlling—especially when it’s used to police bodies, silence questions, enforce conformity, and protect power.This episode explores what it means to confront religious oppression without losing your soul in the process. We talk about how fear-based faith gets manufactured, how shame becomes a tool of obedience, and why “unity” in many religious spaces often means compliance. We look at the ways religious authority can demand access to your conscience, your identity, your relationships, and your future—and how hard it can be to untangle God from the systems that claimed to speak for God.But this isn’t just critique. It’s a path forward. We discuss what liberation can look like after spiritual control: reclaiming your agency, trusting your intuition again, finding language for harm, and rebuilding community without coercion. We ask how the teachings of Jesus might function not as a weapon used against people, but as a mirror held up to domination itself.Because confronting religious oppression isn’t about becoming cynical. It’s about telling the truth—so healing can actually begin.

Jesus After Christianity - Episode 9

In Episode 9 of Jesus After Christianity, we explore Sabbath as far more than a spiritual self-care practice. Sabbath is a direct confrontation with power.In a world that trains us to measure worth by output, Sabbath says you are not a machine. You are not what you produce. You don’t have to earn your right to rest. And that message isn’t neutral—it threatens every system built on extraction, burnout, and endless consumption. When rest is treated like a reward for the “deserving,” the powerful stay powerful. But when rest becomes a shared, protected practice—especially for the exhausted, the overlooked, and the overworked—it starts to look like liberation.This episode traces how Sabbath disrupts the empire logic of scarcity and control. We talk about why constant productivity keeps people compliant, why exhaustion makes solidarity harder, and how intentional rest can become a kind of rebellion. Not escapism. Not disengagement. But a refusal to let the system define what’s normal, what’s valuable, and what’s possible.Because Sabbath isn’t just a pause. It’s a protest. And it just might be one of the most powerful practices we’ve forgotten how to keep.
