How many churches are teaching young Christians non-Biblical rules that few can follow. And the guilt, shame and poor decisions that follow.

Discount Disciples Podcast (formerly known as Christian AF) is a podcast for Christians with a few scuffs and dents. It began with long conversations over good drinks and the growing realization that life and faith are not nearly as simple as we were often taught. What followed were bigger questions—about doubt, church culture, theology, certainty, and whether faith could hold up under honest scrutiny. We started asking questions: Why was doubt treated like danger? Why did honest wrestling feel off-limits? Why were so many of us handed a version of faith that could not survive real life? Discount Disciples is a space for those conversations. It is for people who are questioning, reconstructing, healing, or simply trying to follow Jesus without pretending everything is neat and settled. We talk about faith, church culture, theology, and the complicated work of rebuilding belief with honesty, humility, and curiosity. We are not experts, and we are not shiny and new anymore. We are still here, still showing up, and still have a little more wear in us. So grab a drink, settle in, and join us. more

Whether unpacking open and relational thought, mimetic theory, or cultural phenomena, the goal is the same: to put love where there is no love and help move the world forward one conversation at a time./ About the Hosts: Jill Elizabeth is a credentialed Reverend, host of the Curian Podcast, and board member at Heal & Thrive Global.

A podcast from the Progressive Christianity Network Britain, following on from its Made of Stories film series https://madeofstories.uk/ . It is said that physically, we are all made of stars. The atoms of carbon that form our bodies come from outer space, the same particles form plants and animals. In other words, we are not only made of stars, we consume them too. But that is to speak only of the physical: the stuff we can see, touch and smell. We are made of much more than that, we're made of memories, of friendships, of loves lost and found, of ideas and hopes, and of dreams of what could be. Which is to say that we're made of stories. We're made of the stories that were told by our grandparents, of the stories dreamed by our parents, of the stories overheard in the playground by our childhood selves, and the multi-layered stories pondered in our adult minds. And no matter how much we might try to systematise these stories, to put them into databases and analyse them, to write enormous tomes about them or to examine them under some kind of microscope, our stories are always too complex and too wily to be fully pinned down. Stories are a collection of experiences, each one seen through a lens which has itself been altered by the multitude of the other experiences we have been through. And every time we hear a story, we hear it in the light of the sum of all of our experiences. In other words, we are not only made of stories, we consume them too. The Bible of course is full of stories, and the church is full of different ways of understanding each of them. A progressive approach to Christianity must take this into account, it needs to recognise the validity of individual stories. In this project we've tried to give space for story: We wanted to hear people's voices, and then to give space for you to consider those stories in the light of your own. That way, perhaps we can get past an obsession with who made the stars, and pay attention to who made the stories. more
