This week I talk to "Martin Luther," a pseudonym for someone who wished to remain anonymous in order to tell his story. We cover a lot of ground: Christian school networks, Betsy DeVos style student leadership training, biblical literalism, the apocalyptic worldview, and how to appeal to patriotism to find commonality w/ evangelicals and other groups.

Exploring the world inside and outside the evangelical subculture, one conversation at a time.
"Exvangelical" is a shared starting point with many destinations; it acknowledges the impact (predominantly white/white-led) evangelicalism has had on our lives, but does not dictate our current or future beliefs & practices. On this podcast, you'll hear stories of people who've left evangelicalism for other branches of Christianity, for other spiritual traditions, and for none at all. All paths are valid. Wholeness > Holiness.
