Cringevangelical

Cringevangelical is a podcast where I, a former fundamentalist Christian, and my other ex-fundie friends discuss our cringiest, silliest, and most jaw-dropping stories about growing up Evagnelical Fundamentalist Christian. The podcast is a space for others to listen to as they journey on through deconstruction and find solace, community, and humor in the shared experiences and stories about growing up fundie and navigating the world post-fundamentalism. If no one else in your life gets your weird story about why you couldn't watch Pokemon or the era your parents would only let you read Amish romance novels, I do, and I would love to giggle with you about it.

    God Declassified: School Survival Guide

    A follow up to last week's episode where we get into the nitty gritty of what really went wrong at CSU. Also, can I say King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard five times fast? Did this college for reals have a 10:30pm curfew? How bad can life get for women? Do you really need a degree to teach college courses or can prayer help you fake it? This and more in a rather scathing episode of Cringevangelical!CW/TW:-homophobia-conversion therapy mentioned-bullying-mentions of extreme isolation-homelessness-financial abuse-religious abuse-classism -ableism-misogyny-emotional turmoil/emotional dysregulation Hosted on Acast.

    What Woman Want (Probably Not This)

    It's the big finale for Jimmy and his marriage course from Hell! Get ready for USDA certified bullshit as we discuss how to affair proof your marriage. Jimmy brings the tough love by telling us we don't deserve happiness but we do deserve a fire D, as long as that D is honored properly prior and also we pray over said D before we use it. Also a little post script on Sailor Moon and the Christian reading into her (kind of rambly but someone does truly believe they edited out the Christian themes because of woke). Enjoy service y'all.

    Did you know that your sex is monitored by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? Well, according to Jim Jam Jimboree and his wife Karen, Jesus is in the room while you bone, and he likes it! Also, how is Sailor Moon radicalizing Islam? Will God be mad if my wife doesn't cum? Do men do emotions? How about oral? Can cleaning the house take me straight to pound town?

This content will include spoilers for the Magnus Archives, me thinking A03 was just a fanpage for the Magnus Archives, the confusion I felt when I went on A03 and it was not just fanfiction about the Magnus Archives, valuable lore surrounding my Monster Pig fanfiction and good old fashioned religious bullshit!

    Eh, Mate, Great Day to Be Transphobic, Innit?

    Oh, you thought we were done being problematic in a British accent? Well, you are wrong because British evangelicals are JUST as political as American evangelicals all in the name of *drum roll* BEING TRANSPHOBIC! That's right, get your paper and pens out, it's time for random British men to teach us how to writer homophobic letters to parliament and for some reason go absolutely ballistic over Scottish education law (hells yeah!). I break down how genuinely terrifying this is and how the UK isn't as different (or that far) from taking on some of the US's less..... savory evangelical practices, in this episode of Cringevangelical.

    Good Day To Give Your Life to Christ, innit?

    On today's godly episode, we travel across the pond to see what is the state of affairs for British evangelicals. Listen as I, your fearless (and American, please be gentle, I am American) host as I dive into the misconceptions us ex-fundie kids have about the UK and the continent of Europe in general. This episode includes: me just saying "England" when I mean the UK and then catching myself and correcting myself and then repeating that process ad nauseam, end times conspiracy theories, and sending your kids to Wales to camp for the LORD. Also a PSA, this is most definitely an ANTI monarchist podcast, so don't expect me to be particularly nice to old Charlie and his motley crew.

    Bible Thumping While Dry Humping

    Guys, the Christian marriage app has anatomy graphics for people who are married and have had *the sex*. I am talking basic graphs we got in health class. It's just that like it's news for PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD SEX! That's it. That's the episode. Just forty minutes of me coping with this knowledge.

    Biblical Blowjobs and Christlike Cunnilingus

    Wow wow wow, where to begin? Folks, we have a Christian marriage sex app that is breaking down how oral sex is okay now! Thanks Bethany Beal for making sure I know all about it! I give the history of old Bortles Beal and her reign of sexual....whatever is going on. Also, what if we renamed sex positions so they were more godly? Sex toys in the Christian tradition exist but masturbation is forbidden, so the sex toys are marital aids now and we only use them during the sex. Also we play Would You Rather, and we ask the big questions such as, "Would you rather top or bottom? immediately followed by "Would you rather be shot and killed immediately or would you want to suffer and maybe live?" with no context or reason. All of this and somehow more in this episode that's sexy in a GOD honoring way.CW/TW:-Purity Culture-Sexual Content-Descriptions of sexual activity-Heteronormativity-Homophobia/transphobia (blink and you miss it)-Childhood sexual assault (brief and in intro, skip to four minute mark) Hosted on Acast.

    Monster Pig vs. Black Phillip

    What if The Magnus Archives' favorite murderous pig got seriously into it with Black Phillip, saucy and sinister goat from The VVitch? Well, you are in luck because sometimes you have to be your own hero and write stupid fanfiction about murderous barnyard animals goring the shit out of each other.

    Girls, is it sin to have a normal bodily reaction? Should you kiss before marriage? How about a nice backrub, that okay? What are the red flags in men? Do I have to be physically attracted to my partner? Am I respecting my husband as a transactional act to get any form of affection from him?

    How To Celebrate Halloween in a God Honoring Way

    Halloween doesn't need to be a time of darkness and death, it can also be a time of darkness and death as long as that darkness and death happened within the many pages of the Bible. What wouldn't the little kiddies like more than passing out Bible tracts dressed up as David and Goliath while worship songs about victory over death are playing in the background? Plus what if instead of bobbing for apples we bobbed for scripture? And what if you went trick or treating but subtlely wrote down the name and address of each of your neighbors so you could target them in future evangelical escapades??????????These questions and more will be answered in this hauntingly holy episode.TW/CW:-Discussion of satanic and demonic activity -Mentions of child abuse or neglect -Stalking behavior described Hosted on Acast.
