Scripture, Power, and the Crisis of Belonging

Creation's Paths

What if believing the Bible is inerrant isn’t about truth at all—but about belonging?

In this compelling episode, Charlie and Brian dive into Dan McClellan’s viral video on biblical inerrancy and its hidden function within fundamentalist and evangelical communities. This isn’t just a theological argument—it’s about identity, social rewards, and control. With personal stories, insights into dogma vs doctrine, and strategies for real-world engagement, they explore how high-control religious groups maintain their grip—and how relationships, not arguments, may be the only way out. This is essential listening for anyone navigating faith deconstruction, family tension, or religious trauma.
