Irenicast - A Progressive Christian Podcast
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
Per listener request, the Irenicast crew takes up the topic of Faith Healing. Surprise! Not every evangelical and/or fundamentalist tradition approaches this topic in the same way. Co-hosts discuss personal experiences with Faith Healing through the filters of their former faith contexts as well as their current faith contexts.
The question of faith leaders using “faith healing” in manipulative or exploitative ways comes up. Because of Allen and Jeff, the bible comes up too. The conversation includes the underlying exploration of what it means to be broken/not well and what it means to be whole/healed. Who gets to decide? The discussion expands beyond the Christian faith tradition and beyond the borders of the United States.
The episode ends with a Good News/Bad News segment. The good news: Irenicast is made famous by the lost city Atlantis. The bad news: Mike Pence wears drag and… it all devolves from there. Extra points for making it all the way to the end.
