Welcome back for this emotional episode. It's been a tough couple of weeks in the world. After a long break spent working on other projects it seems fitting to return to the podcast in reflection. This episode is meant as a clarification, reflection and apology to the listeners for the ways in which I have been deceived in previous episodes and presented that confusion as truth. It has been a long journey to find the truth but at long last we have arrived. Enjoy and lot's of love!

In this episode of The Unfounded Podcast’s recurring series Take Me to Church, host Christopher Turner brings a fresh approach to engaging with religious texts. Covering Genesis chapters 17 and 18, he explores the transformation of Abram and Sarai into Abraham and Sarah, the covenant of circumcision as a physical symbol of God's promises, and Abraham’s bold intercession for Sodom and Gomorrah.

Beyond biblical analysis, Turner intertwines personal reflections on motivation and physical health, using them as metaphors for resilience and faith in the creative process. He also examines contemporary issues like the potential TikTok ban, framing it as a test for creators to evaluate authenticity and the influence of digital platforms.

With an emphasis on critical thinking and free exploration of spirituality, Take Me to Church breaks away from traditional structures, welcoming all perspectives without restrictive dogma. By fostering discussion across religious traditions, Turner aims to create a space where diverse beliefs can be engaged with openly. Join him every Sunday for this unique journey in faith and philosophy.

Welcome to a special edition of Take Me to Church! This episode marks an exciting milestone—the first-ever video installment in the series. As always, the goal is to capture the essence of a Sunday spiritual experience without the constraints of traditional church structures.

This week, we explore Genesis Chapter 14, where Abram embarks on a daring mission to rescue his nephew Lot. But the story goes deeper than heroism—it’s a lesson in transformation. Abram’s refusal to take material rewards after the rescue stands in stark contrast to his past choices in Egypt, revealing his growth and the consequences of chasing worldly gain.

Alongside biblical insights, the episode also reflects on the challenges of creation itself. The struggle to learn, grow, and push past obstacles—whether in faith, personal development, or even producing this very podcast—mirrors the journey of self-discovery.

By encouraging open-minded exploration and critical thinking, Take Me to Church offers a space where spiritual traditions intersect and evolve together. No rules, no restrictions—just a chance to engage with sacred texts in a way that’s personal, thought-provoking, and real.

Join me for this pivotal episode and be part of the journey.

Lots of Love <3

Welcome to another Sunday edition of Take Me to Church! In this episode, we dive into Genesis chapters 12 and 13, exploring the introduction of Abram and his early encounters after receiving a divine calling. His journey is far from simple—marked by fear, deception, and divine repercussions. From his choice to mislead Pharaoh in Egypt to the growing tension with his nephew Lot over wealth and land, Abram's story highlights both human flaws and spiritual transformation.

Through these passages, we examine the deeper themes of faith, trust, and the consequences of choices. Abram’s practice of building altars serves as a symbolic gesture of his ongoing relationship with God, even as he navigates worldly challenges. More than just biblical analysis, Take Me to Church is a space where critical thinking and open exploration replace rigid doctrine, inviting listeners to engage with sacred texts without preconceived constraints.

This series is about breaking barriers—unifying perspectives across traditions, questioning assumptions, and exploring spirituality in an unfiltered way. If you’re ready to rethink belief, challenge interpretations, and embark on a new kind of Sunday experience, hit play and join the conversation.

Welcome back to Take Me to Church, a series that breaks free from traditional religious structures to explore spirituality through open-minded conversation. In this episode, we embark on the journey of Abram’s introduction in Genesis 12—a pivotal moment in biblical history where one man takes a leap of faith into the unknown.

Abram’s story isn’t just about divine promises; it’s about stepping into authenticity, challenging societal expectations, and confronting the anxiety that comes with creation—whether in life, art, or faith. As Abram leaves his father’s house and sets out for an unfamiliar land, his journey reflects a universal call to seek purpose beyond comfort.

This episode also dives into the historical and geographical context of Canaan, exploring the complex relationship between the Israelites and Canaanites and how ancient conflicts still echo in modern discussions. Take Me to Church invites listeners to engage with these narratives without rigid interpretations—creating space for curiosity, critical thinking, and dialogue across traditions.

Join me as we navigate faith, history, and the deeper meaning behind the stories that shape us.

Lots of Love <3

Welcome back to Take Me to Church, the series that challenges conventional perspectives and fosters open exploration of religious texts. This week, we dive into Genesis Chapter 11 and the story of the Tower of Babel—one of the Bible’s most enigmatic narratives.

Rather than a simple tale of human ambition and divine intervention, this episode examines Babel as a reflection of humanity’s ongoing search for connection, knowledge, and purpose. Was the confusion of language a punishment or a necessary disruption to prevent stagnation? Could the tower symbolize early astronomical observatories or deeper metaphysical truths? By exploring these questions, we break free from rigid interpretations and uncover new insights.

More than just biblical analysis, Take Me to Church is about critical thinking—embracing curiosity, questioning assumptions, and uniting perspectives across traditions. If you’re ready for a fresh approach to spirituality, join me for this week’s discussion and rethink what you thought you knew.
