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.

This is one of those episodes that could be listened to over and over again. Jeremiah grew up in the Detroit Michigan area. Born into a Christian family he thought he knew how the world worked. After his mother's tragic passing. The grief and pain began his journey of asking the questions that led him to himself. It's a beautifully told, emotional, but comedic story of healing.

MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: COACHING WITH ZAC GANDARA:

I help you work through the Grief of Past Lives. Empowering YOU to let go and create your desired future.
It functions much like talk therapy but with poignant salient goals and techniques to help YOU reprogram yourself for healing and growth.

Thinking Thursday’s are about critically thinking, breaking out of boxes, and discussing new ways we could live this life together.

Often, when we are healing, we can become confused. We aren’t used to tending to ourselves and our own needs. This makes us question if we’re doing things “right.” We may feel like we are being selfish or wrong for doing this. Maybe close friends or members of our family are accusing us of being selfish.

Thankful for the work of Dr. Nicole Lepera whose work inspired this episode.

Thinking Thursday’s are about critically thinking, breaking out of boxes, and discussing new ways we could live this life together.

Growth is seen when we’re simultaneously angered by someone’s actions while also being able to look within with curiosity to see why were angered. What do you think?

Healing isn't easy. Growing, changing, transforming all things we want. Well, some of us want. It's not easy. Some days we just need to pull back and cry, other days we need to press through while we cry. Only you know the difference.

How to parent my kids while deconstructing and deconverting.

One of the most common questions I receive is, "How do I parent my kids after leaving religion?" Deconverting and deconstructing are hard, doing so with children is even more difficult for us because we don't want to hurt them. Here is an answer for you to think about.
