Growing Up Christian

This week we’re joined by Cal and Ant from LOUDSOUNDS! We got together to talk about Ant’s trip down the Catholic-to-protestant-to-exvangelical log flume, and discuss their upcoming album, The Shape of Your Ghost. Check out their new single of the same name wherever you stream music, pre-save the new album, and follow LOUDSOUNDS on Instagram, TikTok, and Youtube (@loudsoundsband)!

This week we’re examining the accounts of three pioneers in the spiritual, metaphysical, and cosmic frontiers – Nik Keswani, Queen Okeoma, and Gabe Poirot! While their planes of exploration are all different, what unites them is burning desire to share the love of Christ for clout and coin. So buckle up, fellow starseeds, we’ve got a lot of grift to sift!

This week we’re chatting about Kathryn Krick’s BOMBSHELL interview on the Tamron Hall show, boomers being conned out of house and home by Tim Tebow, and the Andy Elliott of time travelling vampire hunters, Katie Souza. Enjoy the show!

This week we’re discussing the strange, unsettling influx of internet prophets. They seem to be everywhere, right now, and it’s hard to imagine anyone taking these people seriously. They certainly do, though! Plus, we talk about goat-eyed Ed Sheeran caving to Robert “Rub’n’Tug” Kraft and his clown car of billionaire douchebags over Macklemore’s pro-Palestinian/anti-child murder statement. We went...

This week we’re joined by Josh Carley, writer and director of the upcoming indy horror/pulp crime film, Sin On A Sunday! Here’s the synopsis: “Louisiana pastor Ron Hill has the God-given ability to heal the sick and the lame - or does he? When a woman shows up at Ron's church looking for guidance, he's forced to face the reality of who he really is.” Josh and his team are in the process of crowdfu...

This week we’re checking in on a few of the old school Christian bands from our youth! It seems like the Christian rock industry is in turmoil, and there are a few lawsuits in process right now as they feud with fans, tour partners, and management. Then we’re taking a look at an unusual youtube ministry I stumbled across called The Webbed Witnesser. It sure is refreshing to finally see someone mak...

This week we’re examining Whitehouse wetnurse Natalie Harp’s “dear Don” letters, which may be the last vestiges of New World romantic literature. Then we’re sliding over to r/christiandating, where a young 20-something man has managed to crack the code on Christian dating, and let me tell you, he’s not interested in your worldly opinions on it.

This week we’re joined by our buddy Jesse to discuss the accusations surrounding Psuedo-Messiah Geordavie, “Apostle” Katherine Krick, and hype house-disguised-as-a-church, 5F! Shockingly, a guy who rolls into church in a limousine wearing a crown with followers who drop to the floor when he touches them seems to have used his influence to sexually harass women. Crazy! Anyways, we hope you enjoy th...

This week we’re joined once again by our friend, comedian and actor Mike Valdes! Topics of discussion include a freaky couple kicked off a flight for sharing a drink, a wife from Reddit that’s laying down the law on barbaric practice of “spousal discipline,” and the worst pastor in America, Steven Anderson, who is under fire (and hopefully soon to die in prison) for he and his wife’s despicable tr...

This week we discuss the series of unfortunate events that has befallen tent revivalist and modern day Van Helsing Greg Locke, a woman led by the Spirit to preach her way onto the No Fly List, and we weigh in on a Reddit debate for the ages: are adult toys the equivalent of the puzzle box from Hellraiser? Enjoy the show!

This week we’re hanging out with our buddy, comedian Spencer Bland! We discuss Spencer’s recent travels across the fruited plains of God’s favorite country, a husband’s bizarre use of modern technology, and how Taylor Sheridan is boomers’ favorite set of jingling keys. We had a blast hanging out with Spencer, and you can too at one of his upcoming comedy shows: July 24 – Santa Monica, CA July 25 –...

This week we’re discussing the disappointing downfall of the Graham Platner, the death of a real life nephew of Uncle Sam, Lindsey Graham, a controversial cleft between prospective parents and a surrogate mother in Canada, and finally, some r/christianmarriage drama revolving around their lust management systems. Hope you enjoy the show!

This week we’re welcoming back our good friend and artist Jillian! We get some Reddit takes as to why 40-something Christian men so often list that they are in search of women 20-35 years old (big brain stuff), the toughest parts of getting older and attempting to control your negative impulses, making friends as an adult, and finally, longtime internet laughing stock and recent Christian bandwago...

This week we’re discussing a couple of pastors at opposite ends of the country who found themselves in hot water: one for running a bathroom surveillance operation in an unexpected place, and the other for beating the brakes off a young neighbor across the street from his church. Then we’re exploring a new and exciting subreddit that one of you fine people suggested, r/ldssexuality! Research is on...

This week we have a variety of stories for you! We’ll start off on Reddit with a man asking why a loving God would create him with mental health issues, after which he’s scolded repeatedly by “tough love” Church guys. Next we’ll talk about a man who leaned heavily on AI chatbots to make one of the most important decisions in his life. Then we’re examining a couple of businesses with particularly i...

This week we’re checking out some r/christiandating and r/christianmarriage posts about leaving your boyfriend/husband. Then we’re discussing “Dr” David E. Clarke, a Christian psychologist of dubious credentials who has authored 17 books and gives some very concerning relationship and parenting advice. A so-called expert on narcissists (or “narcs” as he insists on calling them), Dr Clarke proports...

This week we start off with a Reddit post from a incensed accountant who asks whether or not it’s her Christian duty to lose her job over processing an expense from the boss she doesn’t like. Then we’re sifting through the somewhat recent scandals of Ted Shuttlesworth Jr. – the creeper in the code! Teddy comes from a long line of charismatic doomsayers and flimflam men plaguing south Florida, wher...

This week we’re chatting about how cheap Sam is, the Graham Platner smear campaign, whether or not it’s sinful to be a furry, and then we’re doubling back on the Book of Alma! According to Reddit Mormons, we skipped over one of the most exciting stories Joseph Smith committed to paper when we got bored and skipped the second half of the book. It’s the story of Moroni’s suppression of a rebellion,...

This week we're reuniting with an old friend of ours from the Liberty University days, fashion designer and artist Isaiah Isaac! Isaiah has a story unlike any we've covered on the show. By the time we met him, he had pretty much come to grips with the fact that he was gay, and he didn't spend his time at Liberty trying to "reform" himself. There was no way Christian college was going to keep his a...

This week we’re combing through the internet and offering some sage wisdom to the frustrated women of r/christianmarriage and r/christiandating! Then we’re discussing the arrest of the “holiest man alive,” missionary Daniel Savala. He recently pled guilty to abusing boys for decades, which some worry may tarnish his reputation. What a world, huh? However, Savala seems to be the tip of a horrifical...

This week we’re revisiting the must-have book for any parent: Dare to Discipline by Dr. James Dobson, the Kim Il Sung of Focus on the Family! There’s a riveting chapter about the perils of child drug abuse, and Jimmy D will teach you the symptoms and slang terms necessary to spot a budding barbiturate dependency in your tipsy teen-turned-prostitute. But before that, we’re once again cracking open...

This week we’re catching up on a few stories that have been in the news, including Russel Brand sharing his powerful testimony with Pierce Morgan, the very real and terrifying Iranian dolphin torpedo threat, and The Onion’s acquisition of InfoWars! Then we dive into some of our favorite subreddits, including r/christiandating and r/christianmarriage for some salient relationship advice including w...

This week we’re joined by our old friend Jay to discuss Twitch lolcow and one of the most annoying internet creatures in recent memory, DrWitnesser/TheFaithfulSheriff! The gimmick is simple: clip farm your streams by “sharing the Gospel” in the most shallow way imaginable with your Fortnite lobby of mostly children. When people inevitably react to the rage-bait tactics, cry about being persecuted...

This week we’re taking a look at a fascinating book written by the late great Dr. James Dobson: “The New Dare to Discipline.” This quintessential parenting guide was originally written by the good doctor while his own children were still in preschool, which the haters will say invalidates its timeless Biblical themes and enhanced interrogation techniques. However, the “New” Dare to Discipline is a...

This week, we’re taking a look at some of the weirdest behavior Jehovah’s Witness families see as normal, tackling the tough subject of gendered undergarments as an afront to God, and offering moral and spiritual support to a sister in Christ whose unwavering, lily white purity grinds the gears of the dirty reprobates around her. Enjoy the show!
