What if the version of God you were handed… isn’t the whole story?

Welcome to Unhinged: Separating Faith from Fiction — a bold, grace-filled, sometimes wild and wacky exploration of what happens when real faith breaks free from fear, performance, and outdated religious assumptions.

Hosts Michele Kus and Dr. Martin Trench aren’t afraid to question what we’ve been told, dig into what Scripture really says, and rediscover a faith that leads to emotional, relational, and spiritual maturity — the kind of transformation that brings freedom and wholeness, not burnout.

If you’re hungry for truth, tired of churchy clichés, and ready for a vibrant faith that actually looks like Jesus… you’re in the right place.

Each episode uncovers what’s authentic and what’s man-made, helping you know the truth — and experience the freedom Jesus promised. It might be far better than you ever thought possible!

    In this episode, Michele and Martin dive into the spiritual disease of dualism — the mental framework that tears us in two and trains us to see the world as ‘us’ versus ‘them.’

    They explore how dualistic thinking has shaped Western Christianity, fueling fear, shame, and harmful labels like “ungodly” or “wicked.” Together they trace the roots of separation-thinking all the way back to the Eden story and unpack how Jesus’ teachings consistently move us back toward union, not distance and separation.

    Their conversation hits on:

    • How dualistic beliefs impact your mental and physical health
    • How fear-of-punishment theology can promote disease
    • Calvin’s Geneva and the dangers of legalism
    • Why Jesus never treated people as impure — only unhealed
    • God’s perfect love as the antidote to fear

    If you’ve ever felt trapped by dualistic, fear-based Christianity, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a breath of fresh air. Be made whole!

    What if the most “spiritual” thing you could do… is actually be fully human?

    In this episode of Unhinged, Michele and Martin dismantle the Christian dualism that pits your body against your spirit — and explore why embodied, integrated faith is not only biblical, but essential for human flourishing.

    Together, we unpack:

    • Why “sarx” doesn’t mean “sinful nature”
    • How mistranslations created a war inside people that the Gospel never intended
    • Why emotions, imagination, and physicality belong in prayer
    • How purity culture rewired countless people’s view of sex, pleasure, and their own bodies
    • Why God becoming human is the ultimate death blow to disembodied spirituality
    • What it means to live freely, fully, and beautifully integrated

    Heads up! We hit on some adult topics, so if you’re listening with littles around, you may want to grab an AirPod or some headphones.

    If you’ve ever tried to become “spiritual enough” by shrinking or denying your humanity, this episode will give you the freedom you’ve been waiting for.

    Learn, laugh, and be liberated. You were made to be beautifully human.

    In this behind-the-mic episode, Michele spills the origin story of Unhinged — how a Chicago doctoral student and a Scottish theologian went from mentorship Zoom calls to co-hosting a refreshingly honest (and fun!) podcast about faith, freedom, and flourishing, with a side of spicy chili. Stick around to the end of the episode… you won’t be disappointed!
