Overview
Episodes

Details

The Unfounded Podcast is a free flowing stream of ideas centered on asking the questions we often avoid. The focus is to bring the religious and secular world views into alignment through analyzing the philosophies developed by those who have come before us. The show is highly spiritual in nature, and leverages the practicality often hidden within religious teachings to provide actionable steps through which individual growth and expression can manifest. The classical liberal idea of self expression is a main focus, demanding the listener to practice radical honesty within their spheres of influence in order to discover their individual purpose and the meaning that stems from it.

An Apology
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!   Listen to "Gaslight Baby" Watch the "Gaslight Baby" music video!

”Take Me to Church” | Genesis 17-18 | Volume 10 | The Unfounded Podcast
<p>In this episode of <em>The Unfounded Podcast’s</em> recurring series <em>Take Me to Church</em>, 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&#39;s promises, and Abraham’s bold intercession for Sodom and Gomorrah.</p><p>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.</p><p>With an emphasis on critical thinking and free exploration of spirituality, <em>Take Me to Church</em> 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.</p><p><br></p><p>Lots of Love &lt;3</p><p>@christhasage</p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@christhasage?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠Follow Me on TikTok!⁠⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p>References - In order as shown during the show.</p><p>Text Covered: Genesis Chapter 14</p><p>King James Bible (Red Letter Edition).

”Take Me to Church” | Genesis 14 | Volume 8 | The Unfounded Podcast
<p>Welcome to a special edition of <em>Take Me to Church</em>! 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>By encouraging open-minded exploration and critical thinking, <em>Take Me to Church</em> 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.</p><p>Join me for this pivotal episode and be part of the journey.</p><p><br></p><p>Lots of Love &lt;3</p><p>@christhasage</p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@christhasage?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Follow Me on TikTok!</a></p><p>Donations @   <a href="http://linktr.ee/christhasage" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">LinkTr.ee</a></p><p><br></p><p>References - In order as shown during the show.</p><p>Text Covered: Genesis Chapter 14</p><p>King James Bible (Red Letter Edition).

”Take Me to Church” | Genesis 12 & 13 - Abram | Volume 7 | The Unfounded Podcast
<p>Welcome to another Sunday edition of <em>Take Me to Church</em>! 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&#39;s story highlights both human flaws and spiritual transformation.</p><p>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, <em>Take Me to Church</em> is a space where critical thinking and open exploration replace rigid doctrine, inviting listeners to engage with sacred texts without preconceived constraints.</p><p>This series is about breaking barriers—unifying perspectives across traditions, questioning assumptions, and exploring spirituality in an unfiltered way.
