S4E72 Jamin Coller - The Reluctant Deconstructionist

Ken welcomes blogger, musician, and author Jamin Coller. In his soon-to-be-released book, Dear Evangelical, Letters From A Reluctant Deconstructionist, Jamin leaves no stone unturned. Raised in a fundamentalist church pastored by his father, Jamin was in church his entire life. It was naturally expected that he become a career pastor and worship leader. Plagued by private doubts that emerged from years of homeschooling that included Bill Gothard curricula (cf. The Duggar Family), a purity culture rooted in Josh Harris's bestseller (I Kissed Dating Good-Bye), Jamin asked one too many questions. His parents and his church informed him that he was banished from both the family and the Kingdom. On today's podcast, he shares his personal story with Ken: both the hardship and his journey into a healthy place that has brought new friends, new energy and new purpose. Jamin inspired Ken's latest Substack - The Baby and the Bathwater. SHOW NOTES
