Losing Our Religion

A former megachurch pastor leaves religion behind to rid himself of the exclusivity created by its dogmas in order to open himself up to learn from the lives, stories, and experiences of everyone else. To prove we are more alike than we think and we can all get along no matter what we believe. Topics range via guest's experiences growing up in religious homes, where Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Secularism, Judaism, Hinduism, Tao, Heathenism, Satanism, Wicca and all forms of dogmas and ideologies programmed into the mind of a child. What happens when that child becomes an adult? What good things do they hold onto? What things do they lose? Where are they now, and in what ways are they finding the peace that we all desire, with or apart from the religions they were raised with? Losing Our Religion is a wild ride with a community of diverse humans each seeking their desired life away from dogma and exclusivity.

Losing Our Religion is a hilarious and candid look at religion and culture, with former pastor, now commune living lover of sinners, Zac Gandara.  As he has drinks with former religious freaks, and others he used to shun.  Gays, Anarchists, Queers, Atheists, Transsexuals, Punk Rockers, and the rest of us that are considered rejects on this island of misfit toys.

IT'S TIME FOR US TO START LISTENING TO MILLENNIALS!

I (Zac) am a GenXer, and I'm tired of people shitting on Millennials. When I was young, they called us "lazy idealists," today I heard us called the "Middle Child Generation. Now their calling Millennials all sorts of things. Well, I think it's time to sit down and learn from Millennials. Braden and I talk about religion, politics, education, social change and more.

A few weeks ago I was invited to speak at a Christian Outreach Ministry and be a guest on their podcast. The topic they asked me to address? Evangelicalism Vs Jesus. I was nervous, but excited to again be talking with "Christians." The talk went great, and the interview was really encouraging. But the podcast never posted, and upon further review of what I shared, the "powers that be" decided it was too controversial to post.

Well, we got a hold of the recording and decided to post it for you to listen too. Decide for yourself.

In this episode, we dive into Rejyna’s Christianity.  As well as her Trans* journey.  One of the beautiful things about this episode is how fluid the conversation goes from storytelling to questioning, to explanation, to reflective open-ended free thought about life, religion, and being free from boxes of expectation and relationship.

In just a few seconds into this conversation, you're going to understand why I hit it off and fell in love with Rejyna.  Her infectious voice, joyful embrace, solid wisdom, and experience, especially in the music industry made this into a roller coaster ride of conversational beauty.

She's a long time talented musician, entertainment industry professional, Christian, Parent, and Trans*.  But those are just labels, and labels do little but limit our experience of the person.  She loves neuroscience, and we get into a great discussion around staying mentally fresh and never aging.
