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.

S02E29 The Music that Woke Up Gen X

Before social media… before podcasts… before documentaries were everywhere…
Sometimes the first time Gen-X learned about the real world was from a song on the radio.
In this episode of The Mighty Philbert, we look at ten songs that opened our eyes to issues many adults weren’t talking about at the time — child abuse, poverty, war, bullying, inequality, and the complicated emotional lives behind closed doors.
These weren’t just hits.
They were wake-up calls.
