Craig Gross was the founder of fireproof ministries and XXX Church. He ministered to people in the porn industry and did years of speaking gigs with Ron Jeremy who he became close friends with. XXX Church made porn blocking software and was the first sponsor of the BadChristian Podcast. Since we have last heard from Craig, he and his wife Jennette have experienced a tremendous amount of personal and spiritual change. They have ventured in cannabis and then psychedelics which prompted them to begin to deal with trauma they had both been suppressing. This conversation is them verbally processing and catching us up on their journey so far while still clearly being in the middle of it. They speak freely and unfiltered. The content of the episode may be triggering to some and includes trauma, abuse, and conspiracy theory type content, most of which goes unchallenged. We made the decision to leave the full episode uncut and unedited and will leave it to you to decide what to take in and how to process it. &nbsp; &nbsp; Links &amp; Sponsors: BadChristian.com thebcclub.com Marriage Supply: marriagesupply.com use code BCPOD for 10% off Emeryland: emerymusic.com/emeryland Ziprecruiter.com/badchristian Phineas - the fire itself
