M&A021 - The Devil’s War for Your Mind (w/ Carol Lynn Rivera & Connie Lawson)

03/23/21 • 79 min

We’re a bit overdue in talking about supernatural experiences! I’s time to dive more into demon possession, oppression, or suppression, whatever you want to call it...some say it’s just the way the mind works. Others say it’s spiritual warfare. Either way, it’s not fun, and if demonic oppression is real, it’s not from God.

We welcome Connie Lawson, host of the Weeds Seeds and Beautiful Things podcast, a hard, hope-filled, humorous show that seeks to help you walk in radical faith. Connie is a Christian speaker who has the ability to mix hard truths with honesty, experience, and compassion while giving practical advice and steps for improvement, all while making you laugh. Connie has an intense story and she wanted to be part of the Miracles & Atheists podcast because she believes our listeners would benefit from hearing what the Lord has done in her life.

We’re also pleased to welcome Nick’s friend, Carol Lynn Rivera. Carol Lynn is a CEO, writer, marketer, project manager and podcaster. She enjoys entrepreneurial life and owns multiple businesses including several startups and a marketing company, and Carol Lynn is an atheist, only for the sake of a label (because it’s not her favorite). Carol Lynn wanted to be on the show because she thinks the more we can talk to people with different viewpoints the more we learn to understand, accept and respect them. It's important for us to be able to learn from each other and even disagree without harboring ill feelings and sowing division.

So have fun digging in MAC (Miracles & Atheists Community) we’re diving deep today!

M&A020 - But I’m Not Racist! (w/ Keisha Villareal and Jerome Hill, Jr.)

From our many conversations with atheists, a pattern we’ve noticed is that one of the primary catalysts for a person accepting an atheistic world view is due to hypocrisy in the Church. Racism is a good example of this hypocrisy.

Instead of leading the discussion, the Church as a whole has been relatively silent. From what we’ve been told, the silence is deafening.

But I'm not racist! You may say...

M&A022 - There’s No Evidence for Your Christian God (w/ Jeruss Harrison)

When someone posts a thought-provoking question on social media that’s NOT actually riddled with superficiality, the responses can be all over the board. Some get uncomfortable and all you get is crickets, others get nasty, and then maybe, just maybe a bit of wisdom shines though.

If you listen to Miracles & Atheists, you already know we don’t like baseless rhetoric, regardless of where it comes from: Christian or atheist. So when I go through comments on a post that says, “Biggest beef with Christianity...go 👇” I typically weed through A LOT of scoffing and mockery, almost always from atheists. Yet, we did find a gem, one that really deserves more attention and a deeper dive. Our guest, Jeruss Harrison’s comments were well thought through, articulate, and thought-provoking. Here’s his response:

San Francisco native, Jerrus Harrison’s comments really stood out us. Jerrus is a secular humanist, digital & social marketing consultant and music producer. He’s spearheaded digital and social strategies for companies across a number of industries, he’s a certified personal trainer, an actor, model and live event host. I loved this conversation with Jerrus, we enjoyed hearing his heart and unpacking some of his criticisms of the Christian faith, most of which had to do with what he describes as a lack of EVIDENCE for God, and a lack of evidence for modern-day miracles.
