From the 1920’s until the 1990’s, unwed mothers in Ireland were forced into institutions such as Magdalene Laundries and Mother and Baby homes in order to conceal their sin of premarital sex and conceiving out of wedlock from the public eye. Within these institutions, run by religious organizations like the Bon Secours Nuns and Presbyterians/ Plymouth Brethren, these women and their children were subject to horrific abuse. The infant mortality rates of these institutions were nearl...
Oh, hi! It’s been awhile. I tucked myself away for a season of rest and deep healing from medical PTSD and other crappy life happenings. In this episode, I get really vulnerable in sharing an event that happened to me last summer in the hands of a medical provider, and how a recent encounter triggered a massive trauma response that left me completely unraveled. In that moment of brokenness, I found the healing that I have been needing but was too checked out and in denial to ...
In this episode, we explore generational curses, what they are and what they aren’t. We examine the difference between our modern definition of the term compared to the ancient meaning of the word curse. We look at what popular culture teaches compared to what the Bible says. And we explore if what we’ve been told are generational curses are actually sinful behaviors that are passed down from one family member to the next. Is there any hope at all in the charismatic teaching...
The unplanned finale of the Big Business of Buying Babies series. After receiving many messages from listeners, I decided to explore the darkest sides of the fertility industry. And honestly, this was a very difficult one for me to get through.In this episode, we explore real-life scenarios of the serial sperm donor of The Netherlands, implications of the frozen embryo crisis, moral and ethical issues like sex selection, what happens when the fertility clinic implants the “wrong” ...
In Part two of this series, we look at the history of surrogacy, we define what it is, we look at the common uses for this form of conception, we investigate the big money involved in the industry, and why some countries have outlawed commercial surrogacy altogether. We also look at “fertility tourism”, the practice of couples traveling all over the world to seek the best options for help making babies and for third-party conception. Is surrogacy simply an altruistic method of fulfillin...
Welcome to part 1 of the Big Business of Buying Babies. In this installment, we explore the current infertility rates in the US, some of the factors that could be contributing to those issues, we look at Big Medicine’s answer to our fertility problems, and we examine the enormous price tag attached to the services offered. Do doctors and pharma really have the answers to our prayers? Or are we surrendering all of our power and desires to a greedy industry that’s out to line their pockets with...
“Cult is a term for a relatively small group which is typically led by a charismatic and self-appointed leader, who excessively controls its members, requiring unwavering devotion to a set of beliefs and practices which are considered deviant (outside the norms of society).[1] This term is also used for a new religious movement or other social group which is defined by its unusual religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs and rituals,[2] or its common interest in a particular person, obj...
In this episode, I give an update of the latest in our moldy home situation, the wild news cycle of this crazy week, and my perspective of the human conditions that have been exposed the past few days. Then it’s time to grab a tissue for a heart-stirring story of an event that happened that could only have been orchestrated by the Lord Himself. This story forces us to look closely at the two types of sin we commit: the sin of commission and the sin of omission. And examine how often we l...
Gibbor: Hebrew word that means “mighty, strong, valiant, tyrant, powerful, champion” In the past few years, a trend has been gaining momentum in the world of Bible studies. That trend is the exploration of the supernatural content of Scripture. As Westerners, who are largely under-educated in the Ancient Hebrew culture, making many parts of the Bible seem ultra mysterious to us. We have a tendency to view the Word as missing details and context. Our curiosity leads us to a fee...
The truth shall make you freeBut what is TRUTH? A community I once embraced has gone full cognitive dissonance recently, spreading lies they claim to be the truth, because they want them to be true. The group I thought were the good guys have been slipping further and further into darkness, behaving just as evil as the people they oppose. You cannot fight evil with more evil. No one wins. These beliefs become strongholds in our minds. We build fortresses around these beliefs and pro...
** Trigger Warning** I use words in this episode that may be triggering for some people ( ie “crazy”, “psycho”, “sociopath”, “insane”, and “woman”) I also touch on subjects about mental health and abusive relationships. This is my story about how turning my health issues over to big Medicine and big Pharma had real repercussions, like how oral birth control made me a literal crazy person. I go into detail about how the side effects of birth control made me emotionally unstable, how it a...
Welcome to the latest episode. I recorded this one a few weeks ago and contemplated deleting it rather than publishing it. I was coming off of a very emotional weekend after having a disagreement with a loved one compounded by getting absolutely roasted in my inbox by several overly legalistic believers.I was feeling down, deflated, defeated, heartbroken, and wanting to just quit my journey on social media. I wanted to write off the community altogether and retreat to my own personal world of...
Welcome to episode 22! This time around, we examine the subtle infiltration of Gnostic teachings in our modern churches. We explore topics like Christian yoga, Christian witchcraft, conspiracy theories and their distractions, getting stuck in the darkness of rabbit holes, Gnostic extra-biblical teachings taking hold of our minds, the allure of learning the deeper layers of the Bible that leads us to seeking out esotericism, the NAR movement and how it’s breeding a whole new sect of occult-lik...
The Duplicitous Doctrine of Demons It’s a not so very Merry Christmas season now that everything is pagan. Or is it? In this episode, we explore the movement to eliminate Christmas by Christians themselves and the very popular theories why Christians should quit this holiday immediately. We take a look at how we went from “let’s put Christ back in Christmas” to “Christmas is pagan worship of false gods” in such a short amount of time. Have Believers been duped into wo...
This is a pretty vulnerable episode. I really want to be transparent about the struggles I’m having right now, but I know that opens me up to a lot of criticism and an outpouring of advice on how to tackle these issues. I am currently undergoing a ton of testing for a medical condition I was recently diagnosed with. I am under the care of a Christian medical professional who is very faith-based and who uses a functional medicine approach with her patients. She’s a legit MD that errs on t...
Welcome to episode 19. Today, I offer a lovely rant about works-based salvation, confusing teachings, bad doctrine, and self-righteous waywardness. This little ditty was inspired by my deep dive into spiritual warfare and also witnessing a friend in the midst of a faith crisis that threatened to tear them from the safety of The Kingdom, all because they fell for bad theology and false teachers. I’ve been challenged with coming face-to-face with a very real threat to newly saved Christians: tr...
Thank you for joining us for part two of this very special project.In this episode, I read four very deep and moving testimonies. Stories of perseverance through illness, unplanned pregnancy, attempted suicide, high school bullying, occult practices, witchcraft, spiritual warfare, drug and alcohol abuse, same-sex attraction, broken families, falling away from faith, rebellion, psychedelic drug use, the higher consciousness trap, conspiracy theories, questioning the science, taking the p...
Welcome to a very special edition of Smashing Idols. I’m so exciting to share the triumphant and miraculous testimonies of several of my listeners. In this episode, we hear stories of overcoming cancer and grief of loved ones, surviving domestic abuse and drug addiction, walking the path of self- destruction and attempted suicide, playing with the dark side and falling for false teachers. All of these stories have the same outcome: redemption in the name of Christ. I want to thank each ...
Welcome to another bonus episode!In this episode, I share your responses to the question “What is something you used to believe about the Bible?” I share my own false beliefs that I gathered from my childhood in the LDS church and through the ever-so clever Mystery Babylon teachings of Hollywood and the Enlightenment Movement of the 1700’s. Through this lens, we can easily see how our current culture is steeped in lies to derail us from the truth.IG: @ Smashing_idols
1(Prov-i-dence: protective or spiritual care by God) Last summer, I was dragged by an unseen force into oncoming traffic. In the instant that a truck was about to enter the intersection I was crossing, something both woke me up from the spell I was under AND stopped the driver of the truck. Had I been struck and killed that day, there’s no doubt I would have gone to hell. Two months later, I was delivered by the Holy Spirit. I reflect on this memory a lot lately, especial...
