Is Christianity unwell? Does it need Curing? Learn what motivated D. L. Webster to write the book Curing Christianity!

P. S. It's difficult to interview oneself! 😂 🙈

Host Doug interviews Keith Giles — former pastor, prolific author, podcaster and longtime seeker — about his journey from playing in Christian rock bands and recording at the Green Room to leaving formal ministry so offerings would serve people in need. They discuss Keith’s house church and motel ministries, his deconstruction process, and the evolution of his theology.

The episode covers Keith’s writing (the Jesus Un-series and newer quantum-themed books), his Square One deconstruction community, co-hosted podcasts (Heretic Happy Hour, Second Cup), co-ownership of Quoir Publishing, and key themes like nonviolence, a Jesus-centered reading of Scripture, continual learning, and the idea of human and divine connectedness as a path to love and justice.

Becca Hoback is the premiere solo contemporary movement artist based in Nashville, TN. In this episode, we talk about her growing up as an evangelical Christian in a small city. Becca expresses her deep desire to do everything beyond perfectly into "extra credit" territory. After graduating and moving far from home, Becca went through her coming of age experiences. We talk about this, her continued processing of growing up in purity culture, and how this inspires her work. Hoback just performed the piece called Mellow Drama at the Kindling Arts Festival in Nashville. I wish you could all have witnessed this beautiful piece in which she shared much of what we discussed in the podcast but in a much more poetic way. The work was beautiful and incredibly well put together in the theatrical-dance style which has become her signature style.
