Summary

Welcome back to Honestly, Dear Listener. This week, we’re talking about the role fundamentalist religion plays in how we see the world and create in it. We dive into our own personal histories with charismatic, Pentecostal, evangelical Christianity and how just because we’ve deconstructed our faiths doesn’t mean we’ve left fundamentalism behind. We examine the barriers that rigid doctrines erect, squeezing the vibrant palette of expression into a narrow spectrum of black-and-white. Join us as we unravel the complex ties between fundamentalism and artistic freedom, and take a step towards reclaiming our creative spirits.References: “Shamala Hamala” by Kevin James Thornton “Who’s in the House” by Carman
