Dave Warnock: Dying Out Loud

Published: Aug. 8, 2019, 1 p.m.

b'My guest today is Dave Warnock. Dave was an Evangelical christian for almost 40 years. Many of those years were spent in ministry in one form or another. Dave decoverted around seven years ago. His deconstruction and deconversion cost him close family relationships. But he has found love, affection and support in the non-believing community. In early 2019 Dave was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig\\u2019s disease), which is terminal. Rather than be overcome with grief, Dave began to talk honestly about dying as an atheist and living your best moments while you can. This became what is now known as \\u201cDying Out Loud\\u201d. Dave is on a \\u201cworld\\u201d podcast tour spreading his message of secular strength and hope even in the face of dire circumstances. Quotes: \\u201cDying out loud is really living out loud.\\u201d In regards to the fear of punishment and hell: \\u201cIt ain\\u2019t real let it go.\\u201d
\\u201cIts gonna be OK, listener, it is gonna be OK.\\u201d \\u201cWe don\\u2019t remember days we remember moments\\u201d
\\u201cLife is a collection of moments\\u201d
\\u201cWait, goddammit, wait. This is a moment. Don\\u2019t miss it.\\u201d \\u201cCarpe the fucking diem!\\u201d \\u201cI am more interested in the quality of my life than the quantity of my days.\\u201d \\u201cThe human connection is beautiful to me. It never ceases to amaze me how beautiful that is\\u201d Links: Dave on Facebook:
