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.

We dive deep into Brodie’s story of exploring spirituality through meditation, mysticism, Krishna, Native American Sweat Lodge, Bahá'í, Christianity, even marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms. Maybe we aren’t meant to plant flags, and stop learning. Perhaps we all have a piece to this human puzzle.

Brodie Peterson is a hip hop artist, writer, and observer of music.

"My outer experience was going to college, my education, but music guided my inner experience."

"I spent thousands of hours seeking out music. Studying it, music that would move my heart. I would consider the lyrics and look for other versions of the song. When something struck me, I wanted to know why."

We spend this episode getting to know his story and finding out what and how music changed his thinking, direction, and spirituality.

At this point, Holly and I have been drinking for hours. So this conversation is full of tantalizing personal stories and experiences from our lives. Hollie's story of coming out, losing virginity, her first lesbian relationship and more. My story of marriage after religion, and healing from the PTSD of religion.

Quantifying the value of an episode is hard because each is valuable in various ways for different reasons to us all. This one holds a lot of value to me because we both find solidarity in our experiences as well as the joy of transparently sharing where each of us is in life today.

Holly is a vocalist in the music featured in this episode. Music by The Brodcast.
