About this listen

 In Episode 3 of the Naughty by Nature podcast, Treen and Michael Gungor, musician and host of The Liturgist Podcast, breach the taboo topic (in Christian circles) of ‘Deconstruction’. Matched with John Itiola, a comedian who plays an overworked and underappreciated version of ‘God’, this trio divulges the challenges that come from questioning Christian constructs. Non-Christians might wonder, why is it so hard to leave Evangelicalism? This episode addresses the plethora of fears and beliefs that come with saying goodbye to the Christian church. Treen and Michael discuss the unique hang ups in their deconstruction journeys, the power of mystical experiences and both the chaos and freedom that ensued. They get real, raw, and giggle…a lot!
