I'm a deep skeptic ... also a pastor - Jeremy Steele

Today I spoke with Jeremy Steele, host of the "Skeptic Pastor" and "Unbelief" podcasts and founder of "Not Church." Jeremy placed his faith in Jesus as a child but has since heavily deconstructed his worldview. He now works to help people find beliefs that work for them. We touched on many topics, including: • Walking through Jeremy's experience with Christianity from childhood through adulthood. • The importance of holding space for those tired of easy answers, spiritual tribalism, and fear-driven certainty. • Experiencing a lifelong journey of skepticism, questioning, and seeking reliable data for beliefs, both religious and secular. • Reflecting on the challenges and toxicity of growing up in a conservative evangelical environment and the impact of literalistic interpretations of the Bible. • Addressing the internal struggle with theological homophobia and the process of coming out as queer, including the pain and isolation. • Recalling the positive aspects of church community and youth group, while acknowledging the indoctrination and trauma intertwined with those experiences. • Discussing the evolution of beliefs, openness to science, and the conviction that beliefs should change when presented with better data. • Advocating for the value of religious practices and community, even for atheists and agnostics, and encouraging empathy, autonomy, and ongoing deconstruction. • Offering practical advice for supporting the LGBTQ+ community, including leveraging privilege, listening, and creating safe spaces. Many thanks to Jeremy for sharing his story! _________________________________________ Connect with Jeremy! https://jeremy-steele.com/ https://jeremy-steele.com/links https://unbeliefpodcast.com/ https://www.noomacommunity.com/ https://substack.com/@skepticpastor YouTube: ‪@skeptic.pastor‬ Tiktok/IG: @skeptic.pastor _________________________________________ Your support for my channel, Harmonic Atheist, is very needed and appreciated!
