Faith Uncut

Testimony Goals

We're back from the holiday break with new goals. But first, we have to deal with A Very Special Testimony that generated a lot of discussion. It is an opportunity to have some uncut conversation about how we view sex, respectability, and ultimately, the people we're called to love. 

The Purpose of Prayer

Amera Bee officially joins the Faith Uncut podcast this week as a regular host! Just in time for us to discuss the Purpose of Prayer. We dig into the Harvard Prayer Study, the effectiveness of prayer, prayer weirdos, God's omniscience, meditation and Neil Degrasse Tyson. It is a lot but all of it helps us understand prayer's purpose a little better. We hope it does the same for you. 

Extended Cut - Alabama Election

In this Extended Cut, Amera joins us again to weigh in on the Alabama election results. We're talking Black women, Evangelicals, and what Doug Jones' victory in Alabama means for 2018.     

Was Jesus a Social Justice Warrior?

This week JW is back to answer the question of if Jesus of Nazareth was a social justice warrior? We're looking at the types of things he said and did. If Christians are his followers and he was, what does that mean for us? 

Truth to Power (w/Amera Bee)

This week we're visited by one of the Faith Uncut group administrators, Amera Bee. Amera guides us through the various power structures affecting our churches and communities, how they impact different groups, navigating those dynamics.

In The Beginning...

So much of the Christian faith hinges on what happened in the beginning. This week, we discuss whether there are two separate creation stories in Genesis, the first marriage, if the description of creation literal or figurative, and all of these questions are pivotal to your faith.

Unfit Christian (with D. Danyelle Thomas)

This week, we're joined by D. Danyelle Thomas of the Unfit Christian. Danyelle walks us through her process of becoming an Unfit Christian and the journey, leading a new type of community in their path to discovery. It isn't easy building a community of people with varying beliefs and life experiences but Danyelle is succeeding and sharing that story with us.

Let's Be Better, Men

Trigger Warning: This week we are awkwardly having a need conversation about sexual violence.

We explore our own initiation into misogyny and patriarchy in an attempt to learn and improve from those experiences.

Evangelicalism is Colonialism

Why does the approach of evangelicalism look similar to colonialism? We're discussing the history and where we think things have gone wrong. We challenge a common understanding of the Great Commission as we explore if Jesus really asked us to convert everyone. If not, then what did he mean?

The New Civil Rights Movement (Pt.2) feat. The Count of The Brown Liquor Report

We're joined by The Count of The Brown Liquor Report as we continue our discussion on the New Civil Rights Movement. He helps guide us through white supremacy, being woke, waking up others, parenting, and what to do now that we're all woke. This is an extra large episode to cover an extra large problem. Resources are at the end.
