Starting mid-September, I’m taking a handful of WA State clients — in-person and telehealth. Would love to work through religion-related issues, anxiety, depression, other trauma, etc. If interested, email me at dancoke (at) gmail for more info. Thanks!
I’m looking for feedback from all You Have Permission listeners to help me chart the path for the next couple years of the show. Please consider taking 5 min to share your thoughts and preferences! https://t.co/GXxa54UueO
@MRibnek What would you say to a Euro style compromise, banned in almost all cases after 15 or 20 weeks? Isn’t that where we are likely headed if anything happens at the federal level?
Dear @thedispatch, as a center-left financial supporter of your work, I think it was a mistake to have Gingrich on the pod to be a Trump apologist. Similar insights about the wars going on could have come from elsewhere. He is not a fair dealer on The Big Lie, etc.
Thanks to @DanKoch for having me on his You Have Permission podcast to talk about leaving religion and my new book. Always great to discuss with you.

Wanted:
Smashing Pumpkins remasters but actually change it so that it’s a normal volume and the low end isn’t as flubby as a toddler’s water park diaper
I've got an upcoming episode type called "Making God Laugh" where I discuss religion/spirituality with comedians. I'm looking for volunteers to listen to 4 of them and give Josh and I feedback on what is working, not working, stuff like that. Any takers?
There are a lot of podcasts on the subject of Christian faith deconstruction.
And honestly, I've tried listening to most of them.
But the one I keep coming back to, over and over again, is You Have Permission by @DanKoch
New to deconstruction? Here's why you should listen:
Reason #1: Dan's a licensed therapist
You Have Permission episodes feature many psychological elements that explain why people's faith shifts over their lifetimes.
During the last several seasons, Dan has been working towards his Ph.D. and is now a licensed therapist who published a Spiritual Harm & Abuse Scale in 2022.
The psychological lens he brings to the show is invaluable to understanding your journey.
Reason #2: Intelligent guests
The guests on the show range from academic scholars of the history of religion to theologians, psychologists, and everyone in between.
There are a lot of other deconstruction podcasts with great guests, but the wide spectrum on You Have Permission trumps them all.
Reason #3: A both-sides approach
Before starting You Have Permission, Dan had a podcast called Depolarize that he ran around the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
That show was focused on finding common ground with opposing political viewpoints, and is a major element of You Have Permission.
Dan often interviews guests from across the aisle with conservative Christian backgrounds.
It's rare to find constructive conversation between opposing ideologies, but this podcast delivers.
As a beginner, I promise—this is one of the most helpful resources on the Internet you can sink your teeth into to learn about deconstructing and faith shifting, which are normal processes in any honest spiritual life.
Found the #SpiritualHarmAndAbuseScale by @DanKoch today.

Wonderful tool to help me quantify the complex abuse I experienced 2017-Present.
