Bible, Bravery, & Bulls#!t: A No BS Guide to Deconstruction, Progressive Christianity, & Life After Evangelicalism with Dan Minor
Bible, Bravery, & Bullshit with Dan Minor is the unapologetic podcast for anyone tearing down old beliefs, choosing deconstruction, and rebuilding something new. Dan Minor isn't here to sugarcoat it—he's diving headfirst into the gritty, raw conversations about faith, spirituality, and the chaotic ride that is life after evangelicalism. Whether you're questioning, evolving, or just fed up with the system, this podcast slashes through religious dogma with sharp humor, brutal honesty, and just the right amount of irreverence. Each episode Dan and his guests try to answer the questions you have been too scared to ask out loud, like: - What if I left the evangelical church but still believe in God? - What is up with hell? Would a loving God send His children to such a wicked place? Does hell even exist? - Is there such thing as salvation and what does it mean for me? - Do you have to belong to a specific political party in order to be a Christian? - How do I talk to my family since they think I am no longer a Christian? Expect unfiltered talk on biblical mistranslations, courageous stories from people carving out faith on their own terms, and plenty of fiery rants as Dan calls out the bullshit in the evangelical world—because someone's gotta do it.
