A not-at-all-extensive reveal of my own path to a kind of atheism, a refusal to believe in the God that was presented to me over 40 years of being a "Christian". And boy, did I ever believe in him! I was a true believer, a sinner in the hands of an angry God, All in, so to speak. And then the scales fell from my eyes, and I was presented with a beautiful image, a truly divine portrayal of God: Jesus. And Jesus challenges all notions of God. And the Bible.

This podcast is recorded in my car as I drive to work. I do it this way so that I can work through ideas organically without the luxury of a Bible or any other books to fall back on. This way I know how I sound when I talk on these subjects and I can listen back to what I said and see the path and progression of my own theology and understanding of Jesus. I do not edit so as to keep discussions as raw and real as possible, although I do pause from time to time, like when I recently spilled my coffee or when I get a call.
