Will: Heretical Theology

Published: Jan. 17, 2022, midnight

b'This week\\u2019s guest is Will from Heretical Theology. Will grew up in a Methodist church until high school, when he began attending youth group in what he now calls the, \\u201ccult church.\\u201d\\xa0 Years later, will he and his wife were still at that church, he would have a seemingly supernatural experience at his brother\\u2019s church in Florida. The decide to move, and not only was there a megachurch waiting for them, there was also Disney World! Will and his wife dove right in! They served at the megachurch for about five years when his wife began to doubt her beliefs. Eventually, Will resigned himself to being alone in his faith. Slowly, however, Will\\u2019s fundamentalist beliefs shifted. He wanted to understand the Bible better, so he could understand his wife better. He decided to take off his \\u201cJesus colored glasses,\\u201d and read the Bible differently. It wasn\\u2019t long before he had a number of issues with what he was reading. Then enters the Republican nomination of Donald Trump. Will felt like he was in the \\u201ctwilight zone,\\u201d not understanding how Christians were getting behind Trump. He and his wife stopped going to the main services but were still in small group. The pastor met with Will to discuss \\u201cministry,\\u201d but instead Will needed to pour out all his questions and concerns. The pastor dismissed them. It may not have been intentional, but it still hurt. A few months later, he knew he no longer believed. Today, Will uses Instagram to share what\\u2019s learned from the Bible. \\u201cI know some shit about the Bible, and I would like to put that to some good use.\\u201d He\\u2019s taking the \\u201cdecades of useless Bible knowledge\\u201d he has to teach and challenge people, in hopes that his followers will outgrow him and move on to do amazing things.
