We need to talk about leaven—the subtle, pervasive forces that shape how we think about God, sin, self, salvation, and power. The forces that have worked their way into Christianity’s doctrines, traditions, and theological frameworks without most people even noticing. The forces that have bent faith into something that protects empire instead of liberating people.
I created Faith Unleavened: A Seminar for Spiritual Reconstruction and Reclamation to name that leaven, trace its origins, and help people detox from the theology of control and supremacy without feeling like they’re betraying their faithfulness.
Because the problem isn’t faith itself—it’s what has been added to it.
Why Does This Course Matters Right Now?
We have four years ahead in the form of national reckoning, and Christian nationalism, Project 2025, and empire-driven faith aren’t going anywhere. If anything, they’re only going to become more aggressive, more entrenched, and more violent.
The theology that supports these systems didn’t appear overnight—it was carefully crafted, reinforced, and spread over centuries. If we want to resist, we have to be just as intentional about untangling ourselves from the lies that hold it all together.
This course gives you the tools to do that.
What Makes This Different?
This is not an influencer-led “faith chat.” This is an actual class, taught by a professor. It will be rigorous, well-structured, and deeply resourced—designed to give you the historical, theological, and cultural frameworks you need to navigate faith beyond empire’s control.
• No (required) homework—but expect to learn, wrestle, and grow.
• Curated readings and media that will deepen your understanding.
• Playlists and supplemental videos to engage with beyond class time.
This course will challenge you, equip you, and give you the tools to move forward in faith without fear.
Let’s detox. Let’s reclaim. Let’s get free.
