Jason: Deconversion Anonymous

Published: Aug. 9, 2021, midnight

b'This week\\u2019s show is a\\xa0Deconversion Anonymous\\xa0episode. My guest this week is Jason, the son of a pastor. He grew up in the independent Christian Churches, an offshoot of the Church of Christ that allows music. He grew up doing \\u201csword drills\\u201d and was a devout teenage believer. He participated in Bible memorization contests. He became a musician and participated in worship bands for years. In Jason\\u2019s young adulthood he began to question his own interpretation of the Bible. Why was bad language bad? Why the limited role of women in the church? How could a loving god send people to Hell? Eventually, the disparity between the idea of a loving god and the reality of the world and the suffering of innocent children led to his deconversion. Jason\\u2019s wife is still a believer though they both deconstructed from Evangelicalism and started participating in an Episcopal church. They are making an \\u201cunequally yoked\\u201d relationship work based on love, equality and mutual respect. Links Captain Cassidy interview
