Something is up with the receiving end of this episode, so we're uploading it gain. So, listen to it again. We dive into the Gnostic gospels and how they show what Jesus was doing as a tween. The answer is...being a butt. Always fascinating what they let in the Bible and what they didn't. Follow us on Instagram and Twitter, and send in your funny stories at our website.

Yay! You're back. Although America hasn't given us a good enough break to really get back to normal, we needed to read some of your letters because we were melting without them. Then they started cheering us up and we blabbed incoherently about Word Jumble, the Clubhouse App, and dogs with ties. Send us your own funny, true story to be read on the podcast.
We don't take the attack on The Capitol lightly, but we will be snarky about it. We recorded on Sunday and a lot has happened since. Hopefully, by the time this gets to your ears, all the fuckers--including the one who incited this--will be in jail. Christian nationalists are to blame.
Anddd, how was your Christmas? Karen and Bonnie talk about how theirs were. Plus, we discuss some great gift ideas for next year. Karen's laugh is basically her inhaling air, so when you think your phone battery is dead--it's her losing it. Go to our Instagram to see pictures that accompany this episode!
For Christmas, we're giving you a slightly used Carl Lentz. We decided to dedicate a whole episode to the disgraced leader and the problematic church of Hillsong. Celebrating our 2 Year Anniversary, I think we're all starting to see a trend with pastors.
If you'd like to listen to the first part, go back. If you want to hear it in full, head to MindShift Podcast! "Who would you like to punch in the throat?" Clint, Karen, and Bonnie go over the ridiculous and serious. And all your favorites show up: Carl Lentz, Sean Feucht, and Keneth Copeland. Enjoy.
Bonnie and Karen invite Dr. Clint Heacock over to our sunken, plush-rugged den to discuss the crap we not only believed but banked our lives on. Follow Clint's podcast to get studious insight on the things Bonnie and Karen COULD explain to you but we're just not in the mood. We discuss: how we deconstructed, Jimmy Carter, Carl Lentz, being raised on television, and rapture pranks. Check back for Part 2. Violence incurs. Stay tuned....
There's a lot of therapy needed for all of us who grew up in the church. But please, send in your letters to us first! This edition does not dissapoint.
Empowerment. Young models with swords. Gird your loins as we take a look at an example of the schtick hawked at women who need to feel powerful (cuz the church patriarchy is impenetrable).
Ahhhh, seems after a decade, we finally have results. Are they still being thwarted by little dick energy? Of course! But Bonnie and Karen are still thrilled. Now let's see what some of our favorite spiritual leaders have to say. Stella Immanuel, Jack Graham, Greg Locke, Paula White, and Franklin Graham. Plus, Bonnie explains Four Seasons Total Landscaping.
The results still aren't in. It's Thursday am and we wanted to record a short episode for our listeners. Trump is suing everyone and Biden is at 254.
It's Halloween. 2020. A week before the election. How much more can we take? Hopefully, you enjoy this intellectual discussion on All Hallow's Eve.
My God! We love these. Listen and Karen and Bonnie read listener letters that deliver the guffaws. A classy host, Halloween costumes, and chapel sex talks. Make sure to send us your stories to read on the podcast. https://www.deconversiontherapypodcast.com/send-us-your-story
The movie Faith Based is a buddy movie about two slacks, Luke and Tanner, who try to make a movie about the first prayer in space. Bonnie and Karen have their first LIVE guests on--creator and lead Luke Barnett and director Vince Masciale. We talk church, Life of Brian, and the Christian movie industry. The movie also stars Lance Reddick, Jason Alexander, Margaret Cho, and David Koechner.
It's actually People of Praise, the group Supreme Court Justice nominee Amy Coney Barrett is part of. After the insanity of the debates and Trump getting COVID and us generally hating everyone, we enjoyed some banter before we dove into this charismatic Catholic group that is sooo fringe I don't think conservatives would be happy if they knew it all.
Karen is uploading this after the first debate and maybe the world should end! Wow. Anyhooo, here is the second part of our 2-parter on why the world is not ending and you get to live through a lot more terrible presidents in your lifetime.
The world seems like it's ending and that's triggering a lot of us who were told it was ending every single day. Bonnie and Karen are here to reassure you it's not going to end. It's just really sucky. You can see notes and pics, plus send us your funny stories at https://deconversiontherapypodcast.com/
Listener letters are the best. And this time we ended up with not one but TWO Mennonite stories. Go check out our website to read the letters and submit your own. https://deconversiontherapypodcast.com/
Love, kids, Christian music, politics...murrrder. This story, sent to us by listener, Ady, showcases the strangest, most twisty of tales. Let us travel together--in our hearts--to Brazil, where this all takes place. Bonnie fills Karen in on the insanity that is now a murder investigation. Okay, so America doesn't have the patent on religious shitpiles. Americans, don't forget to REGISTER TO VOTE. No vote is too small. https://www.usa.gov/register-to-vote...
Him again. We covered Jerry Falwell Jr. in episode 21. Feel free to go back and listen to all the details that now stitch all this together so well. We revisit Falwell because...well, he demands it. Becki is now in the picture now. These people are shitpile-award winners. If you went to Liberty and want to share anything entertaining, please don't hesitate to visit our website and send us your story. https://deconversiontherapypodcast.com/...
Ohhh, Karen's pissed at this one. Sean Feucht, a music guy from Bethel who takes his Airstream and patchouli across America with his "arrogant theology" is a true menace. Only HE can really impact people for God, you know. And he has an Instagram to prove it. Listen, as well as get in contact with your city officials if he is coming to spread COVID-19 germs to young, idealistic people who gather at his concerts in your city. Not many "ministers" make the list of being physically harmful to peopl...
You voted and we put Kenneth Copeland and The Farting Preacher Robert Tilton in the ring to battle it out this year in the Kook-Off. Go to our Instagram and vote on who is the Kookiest. And don't forget to send in your true, funny church stories.
You all never disappoint. Thanks for sending us (Karen and Bonnie) your embarrassing stories about growing up in church and church schools. We have an all-female episode this week--Amy, Sara, and Jess.
Karen fills Bonnie in on Dr. Stella Immanuel. The bottom line, don't take hydroxychloroquine. Dr. Immanuel hit all the news outlets, then the comedy talk shows after she went viral (get it?) discussing her unfounded, undocumented, and unbackable claims on how to not just treat but CURE Covid-19. A look at her private life shows us she regards herself as "God's battle-ax." That's all we needed to see.
Can Bonnie and Karen top their porn episode? Well, it's going to take John Holmes to find out. Nope, whoops. That's Pete Holmes, your favorite ex-evangelical comedian. Bonnie goes over some of his book--Comedy, Sex, God--that will sound familiar to most of you.
Repressed Christians and de-converts: You're going to love this episode that "Finishes Strong." Karen and Bonnie discuss porn addiction in church and different, odd methods they are using to rid themselves of the demon of misspelling masturbate. Stay tuned for the end and message from Josh Harris.
We're back, reading your letters. Sode-ing it up. In this episode, we learn about them Catholics, what a disaster Karen was in school, and that Pastor Gary is a dick. We're now adding transcripts to our website. They suck, but we'll improve on them. Send in your story for us to read on the podcast. https://deconversiontherapypodcast.com/shop/
Karen tells Bonnie about the great, laughing movement that happened near a Toronto airport. Writhing. Rolling. We can thank the certifiable, dangerous Rodney Howard-Browne for starting what can only be labeled as a Christian niche market that makes sane people want nothing to do with the church. Anyhoo, rate and review us. You'll be blessed.
