What is The Post-Evangelical Post?
The Post-Evangelical Post is a newsletter about belief, technology, and society—with a focus on white evangelicalism and its influence in American society—by me, Blake Chastain. I also host the podcasts Exvangelical and Powers & Principalities, and write extensively about topics related to deconstruction, faith shifts, identity, and media/technology.
Why subscribe?
This newsletter is reader-supported. You can support the newsletter at $4, $6, or $8/month rates. I donate 25% of net revenue to organizations that serve populations harmed by white evangelicalism each month: those organizations are White Homework and The Religious Exemption Accountability Project (more may be selected in the future, as subscriptions rise).
Supporter perks include:
ad-free podcast feeds to Exvangelical and Powers & Principalities
Discord access
access to subscriber-only posts
more coming in late-2022
For more information about why I do this, read this post:
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.

What does “exvangelical” mean?
Blake coined the #exvangelical hashtag on Twitter in 2016 and began podcasting that same year. It regularly receives over 100,000 daily impressions on Twitter, has been used on Instagram over 70,000 times as of January 2022, and reached over 1 billion impressions on TikTok.
