S02E01 Why Gen X Walked Away from the Church
from The Mighty Philbert Podcast · host Phil Barksdale
Send us Fan MailIn this episode of The Mighty Philbert, I explore how Gen X deconstruction didn’t begin with debates or atheist books, but through culture: music, movies, comedy, and lived experience. Long before we had words like “deconstruction,” we were already questioning authority, certainty, and fear-based faith.This isn’t a theology debate or a political rant. It’s a generational reflection.We look at: • Why Gen X never trusted authority • How music, movies, and comedy shaped our skepticism • Why fear-based Christianity didn’t work on us • How many of us didn’t leave in anger — we just stopped showing upThis video also serves as the welcome and foundation for The Mighty Philbert going forward — a channel focused on Gen X culture, skepticism, and faith deconstruction without drama, tribalism, or outrage.If this story feels familiar… you’re not alone.
