16. A Dialogue with Anti-Mask Pastor Samuel Deuth of Awaken Church

This is a new series that I will be doing throughout the New Evangelicals Podcast. I believe it is essential to dialogue with the other side of the Chrsitian spectrum, to ask questons and to hear what they have to say. On this episode I interview Samuel Deuth who is a Pastor at Awaken Church in California. Samuel believes that Christians should resist tyranny and oppression by resisting mask wearing both and inside and outside buildings. Samuel’s Church has hosted Charlie Kirk and will be hosting Candace Owens this summer. I had a lot of questions for Samuel and he was kind enough to come on to answer them. Watch on YoutubeFollow Samuel on Instagram // @samueldeuthFollow Tim on Instagram // @thenewevangelicalsThe New Evangelicals is completely crowd funded.

15. Hijacked by Fundamentalism, Christian Humanism and a Better Path Forward with David Gushee.

I interviewed the father of deconstructing (my title not his) Dr. David Gushee and let me tell you friends, it did not disappoint. David is well known in academic circles for writing several textbooks that are still widely used in colleges today including the book Kingdom Ethics. However, over time, David found himself more at odds with the fundamentalist take over the evangelicalism and when he wrote his LGBTQ affirming book, changing our minds, he was promptly kicked out. Since then David has spent his time writing After Evangelicalism and giving the deconstruction community better language for what they’ve experienced. David’s Website - https://davidpgushee.comGet David’s Latest Book // After Evangelicalism Follow Tim on Instagram // @thenewevangelicalsCheck Out the New MerchThe New Evangelicals is completely crowd funded.
