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.

Gen X didn’t grow up on life lessons…
we grew up on movies that quietly showed us the truth.
In this episode of The Mighty Philbert, we kick off a new series exploring the movies that shaped Gen X—not just the ones we loved, but the ones that taught us something… whether we were ready or not.
From Fast Times at Ridgemont High showing us adulthood starts early…
to Stand by Me reminding us childhood doesn’t last…
to E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial quietly teaching us not to trust the system…
These weren’t just movies.
They were survival guides.
