Karen: Deconversion Therapy

Published: Aug. 22, 2019, 1 p.m.

b'My guest today is Karen, the co-host and creator of the Deconversion Therapy Podcast. Karen is a comedian, a writer, and now a podcast host. She grew up attending Evangelical schools from grade school to Bible college. Everyone is good at something. I was good at being a Christian.
Karen was so dedicated to Christianity she became a missionary with YWAM. After attending DTS, she and her husband moved to Thailand. With hindsight what I got called to was adventure, meaning, purpose, travel and helping people.
Honest laughter from the Thai women she was working with shook Karen up enough to recognize maybe they were fine without her Western Jesus after all. Later after reading Bart Ehrman\\u2019s Misquoting Jesus, Karen further deconstructed when she discovered the premise of her missionary work, Mark 16:15 \\u201cGo into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature,\\u201d was not in the original manuscripts. Karen\\u2019s best advice to Christians: Don\\u2019t research. It is bad for your faith.
Along, with her co-host Bonnie, Karen uses humor, sarcasm, self-deprecation and occasional snark to eviscerate the silliness of Evangelicalism. Their podcast is Deconversion Therapy. We can laugh at this stuff. We are OK.
You can laugh at this. You are going to be OK.
