http://fxckedupchurch.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/ep-4-brian-morefield-ecclesiates-5.mp3I love Ecclesiastes. It’s one of the most emo book of the Bible. King Solomon has lots of good shtuff to say, so I figured, wh’not read from chapter 5 and see what conversation comes up…

Coma-induced visit to heaven and getting molested in church as a kid: Interview with Morefield, Part One – 67 mins

http://fxckedupchurch.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/ep-4-brian-morefield-part-1.mp3My Vegas-born n’ raised friend Brian Morefield and I go back a bit; over seven years back. He’s gonna take us back a bit further. At the age of four, a car accident-induced coma bought him a round-trip ticket to heaven. At the age of thirteen, he was getting molested by a trusted church volunteer. Heavy drugs, playing music, and action with the ladies followed around sixteen. Oh yeah, he also grew up a Pastor’s kid. Life out here in San Diego has brought with him lots of up’s and down’s; recording albums, getting married, feelings of betrayal within the church, and somehow throughout it all, a roller coast ride of faith in Christ. Hope you enjoy!

On this episode of our podcast we’re gonna learn a little bit about his freestyle rap skills, how staying out of prison is a good thing, and his tendency to add last names to his already-given last name. You can also spot him praying for people on Sunday mornings at Restored Church in Normal Heights. As always, we’ll also learn how there may still be hope out there for us who have been burnt by church. Hope you enjoy!

Welcome to the Church For Fxcked Up People! This is Jon and I’s first recording, done on the spot from our kitchen during breakfast one morning.
