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.

As two Empaths, Gabby and I discuss our Pentecostal experiences, speaking in tongues, healing services and heart-wrenching disappointment of loved ones not being healed. As well as my own experience with a healing evangelist leading to my kidney failure. We also dive into what it looks like to have a positive outlook and engage in the possibility of the law of attraction working.

Gabby grew up as the daughter of a founding pastor and musician in the Vinyard Church Movement. She intimately shares the trauma of being taught while growing up, "Demons are out to get you if you don't follow Jesus the right."

Gabby has made it her mission to spread divine love and positivity, one conversation at a time. We dive into this discussion admitting that we both still have these fears even though we know they're not true.

Matthew hasn’t had a television in years; he doesn’t own a microwave, he isn't on social media. He’s a commercial fisherman spending months at sea with no connection to the rest of the world. We discuss some hopes for the future of humanity and what it's like to be unplugged.

Matthew grew up Southern Baptist, became an unconscious atheist as a child. He has grown into to his own form of spirituality, willfully accepting of others and he believes he’s god. Wait, WHAT?

He hasn’t spoken to his parents in years. The difficulty of coming to your own religious conclusions with a closed minded religious family is an ever-relevant topic.

Yulin has the experience of being an American immigrant. Growing up in Taiwan and leaving everything behind to follow her dream in The United States. An experience not many of us have but can understand as we’ve moved on from various cults, religions, even jobs.

She challenges me in a lot of ways in regards to understanding where others are coming from and allowing those differences to flourish with feeling like here own beliefs and desires are being intruded on.

Her unique cultural family experience will resonate with a lot of you.
