Ep 17 - Plight of a Parasite - Part 1: Discussing a song about deconstructing faith with Jeremy Bryan [Explicit Lyrics]

Jeremy Bryan, aka Quill the Messenger, has written several hip hop albums for all ages. He has performed for millions of people and won many awards for his music and for two books he co-authored for educators and parents. 

A couple years ago, Jeremy wrote an intense album called Plight of a Parasite. I re-listened to the album recently and it struck me deep. Its music production and lyrical content are worthy of deeper conversations. So I asked Jeremy to join me for a series of conversations about the songs. 

This first conversation explores the deconstruction of Jeremy’s faith, his rejection of fundamentalist Christianity, and the new questions he’s asking. If you’re interested in real, deep conversations, this is a must listen. 

Note for parents who might listen with children: This song and conversation contain some explicit lyrics.
