That\u2019s what makes Dave Gibbons' new memoir, \u201cThe Shape of My Eyes,\u201d so powerful. He joins Skye to talk about growing up within American fundamentalism as a mixed-race kid, and how he encountered God despite deep family trauma and church dysfunction. Also this week\u2014Mike Erre joins the crew to talk about the ongoing fallout from Megan Basham\u2019s new book, David French\u2019s decision to endorse Kamala Harris, and the rise of the post-religious right. Plus, cannibal frog sermon illustrations.   0:00 - Intro   1:03 - Show Starts   3:41 - Theme Song   4:02 - Sponsor - Hiya Health - Go to https:\/\/www.hiyahealth.com\/HOLYPOST to receive 50% off your first order   5:06 - Sponsor - World Relief - Visit https:\/\/worldrelief.org\/holypost\/ to find out how to get two FREE e-learning courses and celebrate World Refugee Day with World Relief!   10:07 - Frog Cannibalism Sermon Illustrators   14:56 - Phil Accused by Megan Basham of Being a Sellout   22:08 - Do the Facts Matter?   28:48 - Conflating Christianity and Republican Party Issues   34:57 - David French Voting for Harris???
