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.

S02E40 The Real Reason Victims Do Not Come Forward
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This episode tackles one of the most misunderstood questions surrounding abuse and assault:
“Why didn’t they speak up?”
The answer isn’t simple—and it’s not comfortable.
In this first episode of a new series, we explore the real reasons victims stay silent: fear, shame, loss of community, retaliation, and the emotional cost of being heard… or ignored.
This isn’t about one story.
It’s about a pattern.
⚠️ Content Warning: This episode discusses abuse and assault.
