As it relates to the human brain, the human body relative to sex and sexuality, the fundamentalist Christian framework towards sex and sexuality is most harmful. The framework is often counter to any clinical evidence based understanding with little to no awareness to how the body works as it relates to human physiology and sex. The framework and approach are often theologically flawed, even worse, counterintuitive to the human agency. Psychologically harming to the human psyche. Christian purity culture is proof of these realties. Tune in Family!

Mental Health Awareness Month is an observance held every May, which aims to raise awareness and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health issues. It serves as a reminder of the importance of mental health and the challenges faced by millions of people worldwide. By raising awareness we can improve the lives of those affected by mental health issues and create a more compassionate society. And that's desperately needed. Mental health awareness month is also an important opportunity to explore how various circumstances impact mental health. So in this episode, we're going to approach the topic of religious fundamentalism and its impact on mental health. There is a growing consensus among scientist linking brain damage and religious fundamentalism. So, tune in and let's explore the "Human Brain On Religious Fundamentalism".

Join us in a heart warming dialogue around faith & deconstruction. Who are the Nones & Dones in Christianity? What is happening to Western Christianity. Today's episode highlights the reality of the work that's needed to unpack the harm of fundamental religion.
I found it to be psychologically harming to me and that of my human agency that the Christian God could only love me and recognize my human significance only in Jesus. In my fictitious conversation with Jesus, I gave him his life back and he welcomed it. He told me it was always mine and that my life was never his to take. That the space in my heart was always mines to be lord and master of over. Jesus can be a utility and a tool but he should never be anything more.!

No one starts their deconstructing journey looking to call their faith tradition into question. I know I didn't! However, the unique dynamics of deconstruction will also have you call into question other constructs you've been indoctrinated in as well. So in today's episode, we will touch on the fringes of Deconstructing the Christian Man Box & Toxic Masculinity. This episode is dedicated to the survivors of abuse and in honor of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Nothing should be taboo when it comes to deconstrcution and letting go of indoctrination can be hard. I'm not here to make an argument for a historical Jesus. I'm not here to make an argument for a Christian Christ-Centric Jesus. I'm not here to make arguments for either of those. But I am here to argue that it is normal and that it is okay to deconstruct Jesus.
Christian Leaders often say don't deconstruct to the point where you don't have nothing left and place emphais on reconstructing with no value around a persons autonomy. Listen in family as I dialogue about placing value on your own autonomy as you navigate the deconstructing continum.
