Guest Stan Mitchell: The Church Was Wrong Before Artwork

Bible, Bravery, & Bulls#!t: A No BS Guide to Deconstruction, Progressive Christianity, & Life After Evangelicalism with Dan Minor

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.

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 conservative Christianity got right, what it got deeply wrong, and why queer suffering should be more than enough reason to revisit the theology we were handed. This episode is about bridge-building, spiritual courage, and the question too many churches still won’t face:

What if we’re not defending truth. What if we’re defending harm?
