Back in season 4 we did a series called Christian Cancel Culture, where we discussed the ways Fundamentalist expressions of Christianity attempt to discredit any practices and concepts they deem Unchristian. On July 5, 2021 we released the Christian Cancel Culture episode on Rituals, because we recognize that church folk really really struggle with other Jesus-followers practicing seemingly non-christian rituals like the burning of sage, or the use of crystals, tarot cards, palm readings, yoga, etc…
Well, today we are inviting you to the after-party of the Rituals episode where we went as far as addressing Child Sacrifice as a ritual with our Patreon community, who joined us in the live virtual audience of this recording.
Welcome to Postseason 5 of Holy Smokes: Cigars & Spirituality. I'm Kristian A. Smith, the host and the Heretic of Holy Smokes. The pastor of The Faith Community and the author of Breaking All The Rules. During the Postseason we bring you content you either haven't heard before or you haven't heard in ages. Today you're getting content you haven't heard before.
Remember this episode invites you into the behind the scenes discussion we had after the official episode ended. We're going to pick up toward the end of this episode where Tierney AT&T Jordan shares her thoughts on Sage. You will hear me end the official episode like I always do, which marks the beginning of the After Party where Myron The Mystic gets really churchy by reminding us we don't have a "Patent on the Power." Trust me, that line will make perfect sense after you hear him break it down.
So here it is, the after party of Christian Cancel Culture: Rituals from Season 4 of Holy Smokes: Cigars and Spirituality where we are deconstructing harmful theology and creating beloved community one cigar at a time. So, let's get to it!
