Is “just me and Jesus” really a Christian approach—or a clever way to dodge accountability?

In this episode of Weird Hill to Die On, Phoenix Hayes, Mary Jo Sharp, and Adam Coleman tackle the rising trend of private, isolated faith in today’s culture. With a mix of humor, heart, and heresy alerts, they explore why Christianity was never meant to be a solo hike through life’s wilderness.

From biblical community and discipleship to church hurt and awkward small groups, this episode pulls no punches. Whether you’ve been burned by the church, are ghosting your small group, or just really like wearing that “Don’t Judge Me” hoodie—we’re talking to you.

Key Topics Discussed:

• The myth of “private faith” and why biblical Christianity is inherently communal.
• How Western individualism is shaping modern theology.
• The difference between being judgmental vs. speaking truth in love.
• Church hurt and how to begin healing without ghosting Jesus’ people.
• The theological importance of discipleship, accountability, and “one-another” verses.
• Why your brain (and your theology) need checks and balances.
• The personal vs. private distinction in faith.
• Real talk on community, conflict, and sanctification.
