What happens when someone who lived inside Bethel’s world finally tells the whole story?
In this episode of the Deep Drinks Podcast, I sit down with Jubilee Dawn to talk about Bethel, the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry, charismatic Christianity, prophecy, healing culture, spiritual abuse, and what it looks like to deconstruct after years of believing it all was real.
We get into the rise of Bethel’s influence, the media and personalities that helped shape that world, and the deeper cost of movements built on supernatural claims that never seem to deliver when it matters most.

In this episode of Deep Drinks, I sit down with Professor Neil Van Leeuwen, author of Religion as Make-Believe, to unpack one of the most fascinating ideas I’ve come across in the psychology and philosophy of religion. We explore the difference between factual belief and religious credence, why some beliefs update with evidence while others seem untouched by it, and why so many conversations between believers, atheists and apologists end up going nowhere.

In this episode of Deep Drinks, I’m joined by Aaron Kelly, a former pastor who came out publicly in 2020 after years of trying to “pray the gay away” and navigating church-led conversion practices. We unpack what the Bible does (and doesn’t) say about homosexuality, the “clobber verses”, Sodom and Gomorrah, purity culture, and what deconstruction looks like when your faith, community, and identity collide. Honest, messy, and surprisingly hopeful.

I ask Professor Graham Oppy — one of the world’s leading philosophers of religion with 30+ years in the field — the blunt question: “Is there a God?” and we get into why he confidently says no, how atheism, agnosticism and naturalism actually work, why people believe in God in the first place, whether miracles and fine-tuning are good evidence, if morality and meaning collapse without religion, and what consciousness really is if there’s no soul. We talk problem of evil (why pray to a God who didn’t stop the Holocaust), deconstruction, raising kids without faith, and what keeps people holding on. We even rapid-fire the classic arguments for God — cosmological, design, morality, resurrection — and ask which religion, if any, is most likely to be true.

In Episode 115 of Deep Drinks Podcast, I talk with Drew (Genetically Modified Skeptic) about whether gay conversion therapy works, focusing on its psychological harm and how experts have discredited it.

In this whiskey-fuelled Deep Drinks episode, David and Christian apologist Michael Jones (Inspiring Philosophy) debate everything from the honesty of apologetics to slavery in the Bible and the evidence for the Exodus. Using a “belief line” and placing their whiskey accordingly, the two spar over whether defending a worldview gets in the way of truth-seeking. David pushes back on faith claims, miracle testimony, and modern Bible interpretations, while Michael argues for cultural context, historical credibility, and the value of the Gospels. It’s sharp, funny, intense—and disrespectfully respectful.

In this episode of Deep Drinks Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Dan McClellan — a biblical scholar, TikTok educator, and former scripture translation specialist for the LDS Church. Dan is known for breaking down complex biblical scholarship into plain English, and we dive into some of the big topics he covers in his new book The Bible Says So. We explore how the Bible really came together, misconceptions about hell and Satan, the development of afterlife ideas, and how studying the Bible critically changed (and deepened) Dan’s personal journey with faith, meaning, and scholarship.

The typical perspective of religion focuses on the beliefs and meanings derived from revealed scriptures, ideas, and doctrines, but is that the best way to look at religion as a whole?
My guest today is Professor David Morgan who has led the way in radically broadening that framework to encompass the understanding that religions are fundamentally embodied in the material world.
Material religion includes the things people wear, eat, sing, touch, look at, create, and avoid. It also encompasses the places where religion and the social realities of everyday life, including gender, class, and race, intersect in physical ways.
David Morgan is Professor of Religious Studies with a secondary appointment in the Department of Art, Art History, and Visual Studies at Duke. He chaired the Department of Religious Studies from 2013 to 2019. David received the Ph.D. at the University of Chicago in 1990. He is currently Director of Graduate Studies in Duke's PhD program in Religion. He has published several books and dozens of essays on the history of religious visual culture, fine art, and art theory.

For Christians and Non-Christians alike, Christianity has been taught to us as one thing that, Jesus was born of a virgin, lived, was crucified, died and was resurrected. His followers continued spreading his ministry's message, eventually becoming the most influential religion in history.
However, what you may not know is that Christianity was never one idea; early Christianity is indistinguishable from what we see today.
For centuries each sect of Christianity called other sects heretical, these were not small disagreements; these were wild and incompatible belief systems.
Early Christianity continued through history until one version of Christianity was accepted by Constantine, the roman emperor, making that version of Christianity vastly more influential, leading to the death of other major Christian ideas. Today, we will be doing a deep dive into these lost Christianities
My guest today is Neal who is a content creator making academic videos on History, Mythology, Psychedelics and Early Christianity. He goes by Gnostic Informant on Youtube and as a new fan of his work, I am very excited to have him here today.

Our guest today is Russell Manser, Russel spent 23 years in prison after a series of bank robberies and miscellaneous criminal activities. Russel was a victim of institutionalised sexual abuse, being jailed with some of Australia's worst sex offenders despite only just turning 17.
The sexual trauma Russell experienced led him to cope with recreational drugs, eventually leading to a $1500heroin addiction.
Russel has since been rehabilitated and now runs Voice of a Survivor, which aims to help victims of institutional abuse find justice through the legal system as well as advocate for social and political change.
‘The Voice of a Survivor’ has now helped over 16,000 people tell their stories and begin the process for justice and healing.

Jesseca, also known online as Queen of the Heathen or "Heathen Queen" is an Ex Christian of 20 years who has grown in wild popularity with her TikTok & Youtube content initially designed to help people who were deconstructing their Christian faith.
Jesseca and I drink a lot of Gin and talk about her journey growing up in an unstable home, dealing with mentally ill family members, going on mission trips with YWAM, and eventually deconstructing her Christian Faith. We also shared many strange church stories, including praying that dead women would be raised from the dead, and how the loch ness monster was proof that evolution was a lie and purity culture.
The Heathen Queen has gotten a reputation as being the lead pipe of accountability (on Twitter) but what most people don't know, is that outside of arguing with bigots, homophobes, and misogynists online, Jesseca is a very kind person spending some of her time Volunteering In Prisons, Rehabilitate Animals, Feeding the homeless & Supports Progressive Charities.
