The Mighty Philbert Podcast
Welcome to The Mighty Philbert — the channel where we dig deep, ask hard questions, and refuse to smile politely at bad theology. Whether you're crawling out of evangelicalism, recovering from purity culture, or just wondering why your Sunday school teacher thought dinosaurs rode the Ark, you're in the right place.
Hosted by a proud GenX survivor of church trauma and theological gaslighting, this channel serves up weekly doses of counter-apologetics, Christian deconstruction, and cultural commentary with a heavy side of sarcasm and '90s nostalgia. We’re talking real talk about religion, belief, and how to rebuild your worldview without all the baggage.
New episodes every week. Bring your questions, bring your doubts — and maybe your flannel.
Because sometimes faith needs a second opinion.

S01E33 Fear, Faith, and Power in America
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The Mighty Philbert is back, and this time we’re pulling the curtain on how fear has become America’s favorite religion.
From the assassination of Charlie Kirk to Trump’s threats against Democrats and non-Christians, to the hypocrisy of “canceling” Jimmy Kimmel for daring to make jokes — we’re watching the same cult playbook that fueled the Satanic Panic and Hellfire preaching of the past, just now repackaged in red, white, and blue.
This isn’t a left vs. right episode. This is about fear as a tool of control — in pulpits, podiums, and politics. Christian Nationalism isn’t about faith, it’s about power. Fear-based voting isn’t about protecting democracy, it’s about selling apocalypse for clicks and control.
As Gen-X survivors of the Satanic Panic, we’ve seen this before. The faces change, the fear doesn’t.
