What is The Post-Evangelical Post?
The Post-Evangelical Post is a newsletter focused on white evangelicalism and its influence in American society by me, Blake Chastain. I also write extensively about topics related to deconstruction, faith shifts, identity, and media/technology.
I also host the podcasts Exvangelical and Powers & Principalities. Exvangelical focuses on the stories of people who have left white evangelicalism; Powers & Principalities focuses on the systems & institutions that perpetuate white evangelical influence in politics and society.

❌ Exvangelical (podcast show notes)
📱 Shaped By Tools (tech & media commentary)
📚 The Good Books (book reviews)
⚖️ Powers & Principalities (podcast show notes)
