DSH #1833 - At AmFest, Sean Kelly sits down with returning guest Bryce Crawford for one of the most open and honest conversations yet about faith, marriage, anxiety, modern churches, Islam, politics, and the search for truth.

Bryce shares why he believes commitment is disappearing in Gen Z, how overthinking led him into anxiety and depression, and why trusting God transformed his life. The conversation dives into modern evangelical culture, Catholic and Orthodox traditions, the business side of churches, and Sean’s public commitment to attend church next year.

They also discuss Islam’s growth in the West, Sharia law, worldview vs politics, LGBTQ questions in the Bible, and why Bryce believes Jesus is the ultimate “antidote” to sin and brokenness.

In this high-stakes debate at AmFest, two speakers tackle one of the most controversial political questions of our time: Is Islam compatible with Western society?

The discussion dives into theology, constitutional law, freedom of speech, church-state separation, blasphemy laws, apostasy, polygamy, and whether religious doctrine should shape modern democracies. Both sides challenge each other on scripture, historical context, sociological data, and the role of the U.S. Constitution.

Rather than a surface-level argument, this debate explores deeper issues about how religious traditions interact with secular governance — and whether Western liberal values can coexist with strong religious identity.

This is a raw exchange of ideas. No editing. No filters. Just arguments, counterarguments, and a clash of worldviews.

🎯 What You’ll Learn

🏛️ The core arguments around religion and Western constitutional values
📜 How scripture is interpreted differently across traditions
⚖️ The debate over blasphemy laws, apostasy, and freedom of speech
📊 How sociological studies are used (and challenged) in religious debates
🧠 The difference between religious doctrine and state law
🌍 Whether separation of church and state resolves compatibility concerns

What happens when a belief system doesn’t just guide you… but controls you?

In this conversation, John breaks down why active members often won’t ask for transparency, how high-control groups shape behavior through strict rules, and why the internet changed everything for modern religion. He explains Steven Hassan’s BITE Model (Behavior, Information, Thought, Emotion) in a simple way — and shows how it applies far beyond one church.

We also get into the rise of ex-member communities online, why “community” is the real driver behind happiness studies, and how institutions can make small changes while punishing the people who pushed for them.

What You’ll Learn 🎯

🧠 How the BITE Model explains control in religion, politics, and groups
🔒 Why members often avoid transparency questions (even when concerned)
📵 How high-control groups manage information + dissent
🌐 Why the internet reshaped faith communities and ex-member movements
