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.

S02E32 The Music that Taught Us to Question Authority
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Before Gen-X questioned authority…
we had to realize something first:
The people in charge don’t always get it right.
In this episode of The Mighty Philbert, we take a deep dive into the songs that didn’t just describe the world—they challenged it.
From classrooms to governments, from power structures to cultural icons… these songs pushed back, asked uncomfortable questions, and helped shape a generation that learned to think for itself.
This is Part 2 of the Gen-X music trilogy:
🎧 Part 1 – The Music That Made Us Aware
