© 2026 Bible, Bravery, & Bulls#!t: A No BS Guide to Deconstruction, Progressive Christianity, & Life After Evangelicalism with Dan Minor
Description
Bible, Bravery, & Bullshit with Dan Minor is the unapologetic podcast for anyone tearing down old beliefs, choosing deconstruction, and rebuilding something new. Dan Minor isn't here to sugarcoat it—he's diving headfirst into the gritty, raw conversations about faith, spirituality, and the chaotic ride that is life after evangelicalism.
Whether you're questioning, evolving, or just fed up with the system, this podcast slashes through religious dogma with sharp humor, brutal honesty, and just the right amount of irreverence.
Each episode Dan and his guests try to answer the questions you have been too scared to ask out loud, like:
- What if I left the evangelical church but still believe in God?
- What is up with hell? Would a loving God send His children to such a wicked place? Does hell even exist?
- Is there such thing as salvation and what does it mean for me?
- Do you have to belong to a specific political party in order to be a Christian?
- How do I talk to my family since they think I am no longer a Christian?
Expect unfiltered talk on biblical mistranslations, courageous stories from people carving out faith on their own terms, and plenty of fiery rants as Dan calls out the bullshit in the evangelical world—because someone's gotta do it.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Bible, Bravery, and Bulls#!t, we sit in the tension a lot of us have felt but didn’t always have language for: 👉 What if holiness was never meant to separate us from people? 👉 What if we’ve been protecting something Jesus never tried to protect? 👉 What if the way we’ve used holiness has actually pushed people away from God? Because when we actually look at Jesus… He didn’t build distance. He built tables. He didn’t avoid outsiders. He identified with them. ...
Send a text In this episode of Bible Bravery and Bullshit, Dan and Stan Mitchell unpack one of the most toxic ideas in church culture: that you were born already at odds with God and needed fear, shame, and endless striving to get back in. This is a conversation about original sin, original blessing, queer inclusion, church hurt, and why the God in the garden still came looking for people hiding in shame. Honest, healing, and just disruptive enough to matter. #BibleBraveryAndBullshit #StanMit...
Send a text The church has been wrong before. The question is whether we’re brave enough to admit it again. Dan sits down with Stan Mitchell to talk about queer kids, Christian parents, mixed-orientation marriages, bad theology, and the long, painful work of helping families choose love over fear. This conversation is honest as hell and full of the kind of nuance most culture-war Christians can’t seem to hold onto. From Pentecostal roots to progressive faith, Dan and Stan unpack what conserva...
Send a text What’s the most dangerous thing Jesus ever said? Not “love your enemies.” Not “pick up your cross.” It was this: “The Kingdom of God is at hand.” Because in Jesus’ world, there was already a kingdom… Rome. In this episode we unpack why Jesus’ message wasn’t just spiritual — it was a direct challenge to empire, power, and systems that crush the vulnerable. If you’re rethinking faith, questioning Christian nationalism, or trying to rediscover the radical message of Jesus beyond the ...
Send a text What if the point of Christianity was never escaping earth… but transforming it? A lot of us were taught faith is about surviving life long enough to get to heaven. But that mindset can quietly make us disengage from justice, suffering, and the people right in front of us. In this episode, we challenge the theology that turns the gospel into an exit strategy and rediscover the message Jesus actually preached: bringing the kingdom of heaven to earth. If you're deconstructing, quest...
Send a text We were told that if we just loved hard enough, everything would work out. But what happens when you loved deeply… and it still ended? In this episode, Dan reframes one of Christianity’s most quoted verses: “Love never fails.” What if that promise was never about saving every relationship? What if it was about preserving your integrity? Dan tackles: Why “love wins” theology has kept people in toxic situationsThe dangerous confusion between endurance and holinessHow churches use “u...
Send a text We’ve been told our whole lives that we need to “soar like eagles.” But what if that sermon was never about ranking people in the first place? In this episode, Dan breaks down a popular women’s conference message that turns Job 39 into a spiritual personality test: Are you an ostrich… or an eagle? What sounds inspiring on the surface is actually a perfect example of how the church turns metaphors into measuring sticks — and poetry into hierarchy. Dan unpacks: Why Job was never abo...
Send a text What does it mean to reclaim faith when the church has too often used the Bible as a weapon? In this episode of Bible, Bravery, and Bullsh#!t, Dan Minor sits down with pastor, author, and activist Brandan Robertson—known as the “TikTok Pastor” and author of Queer and Christian: Reclaiming the Bible, Our Faith, and Our Place at the Table. Together they dive into the tension between tradition and transformation, why endlessly debating Bible verses rarely leads to change, and what it...
Send a text What if I told you certainty isn’t faith—it’s fear in a choir robe? In this episode of Bible Bravery & Bullshit, we torch the toxic church obsession with being “right” and dig into why God actually lives in the messy gray areas. From “demon-crats” and “sippin’ saints” to parents disowning their kids in the name of doctrine, we unpack how the demand for certainty has justified some of the ugliest harm in the church. Spoiler: Jesus never called doubt a sin—He called out the rock...
Send a text You were told fasting was about skipping meals to get closer to God. Isaiah 58 says otherwise. In this episode of Bible Bravery & Bullshit, we rip apart the church’s obsession with hunger games for Jesus and look at what God actually calls fasting: breaking oppression, feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, and refusing to look away from injustice. If your “fast” doesn’t free people, you’re not holy—you’re just hangry. From taco truck ladies to trans kids, from Chick-fil-A ...
