I went back and listened to the very first episode I ever recorded.
It was terrible. Not terrible because the ideas were wrong. Terrible because it wasn't me. I was trying to be subtle. Measured. Some version of what I thought a podcast host was supposed to sound like. What the fuck was I doing?
This episode is about where I actually come from — the foundational texts, the real ones, the ones I use as philosophical tools rather than religious weapons. The Bible isn't a cudgel I'm swinging at you. It's a set of allegories I broke down until they meant something to me personally, stripped of every pastor and parent and institution that tried to use it as a control mechanism.
You don't have to share my foundation. You have your own. What I'm asking is that you look at it honestly and make sure it's actually yours — not something handed to you that you've been carrying ever since without examining it.
I'm not here to beat you down. I'm here because I know what it's like to be down and I know there's another way. That's it. That's all this has ever been.
