Author: Backwoods Belief September 16, 2024 Duration: 1:24:31

The journal of Audrey Hale, the Covenant School (Nashville) shooter, was recently released. Despite not being the purported manifesto it was billed as the document does give an intimate look inside the mind of a brutal spree killer.

This one is pretty dark, full of material you won't want your kids listening to with you. But it is important so let's get going.


There's a quiet conversation happening away from the spotlight, in the spaces between established institutions and popular platforms. Backwoods Belief finds its home there, exploring where faith takes root and grows when it's untethered from the centers of conventional religious power. This podcast isn't about doctrine from a pulpit, but about the lived experience of spirituality on the ground. Each episode ventures into the margins, giving voice to perspectives often overlooked, where belief is shaped by personal journey, community, and a direct engagement with ancient texts away from the noise of modern religious commerce. You'll hear thoughtful discussions that question why certain structures have faltered and imagine what emerges in their absence. The future being discussed here isn't a distant prophecy; it's something being forged now in the everyday lives of those who find their faith thriving outside the expected corridors. Tune into this podcast for a series that feels more like a gathering around a shared fire than a broadcast, a space to consider how Christianity endures and transforms when it returns to its foundational, grassroots essence. It’s an ongoing exploration for anyone curious about the resilience and reformation of belief at its most elemental level.
