    This is the third and final part of the Black Lives Matter discussion with Sasha and Candace. They ask us what is an ally and what does it mean to us to be one. Candace brings up Critical Race Theory and how we feel about it. It's a good wrap up of a good conversation.

  • Black Lives Matter Pt. 2
    This is a continued conversation off of what it means to be an "angry black woman" as well as what the negative connotations connected to the saying "strong black woman". Candace and Sasha explain how they have been affected by racism and systemic racism. We break down the Disney movie's with black main characters and how Hollywood and Cinema have portrayed black culture. We will be wrapping up this conversation next Monday.

  • Black Lives Matter Pt. 1
    This episode is part 1 of 3. We set out a goal to create space for both white and black people to come together and have conversations about the negative and the positive aspects of being a black person in America. Kathleen and Aubrie ask their guests, Candace and Sasha, questions on what it is like growing up black, what's appropriate and inappropriate when in come to hair and touching it, and touch on the heavy topic of what conversations they have with their children when it comes to their safety and police brutality. They brought up great points on what we as white parents can be talking about with our white kids on the subject of police brutality and the black experience. We conclude with asking about the phrase "angry black woman" and what that is even about.
    We at The Christian and the Atheist Podcast want to give a huge thank you to both Sasha and Candace for being open to having these conversations and helping us understand and become better allies. 
    Happy Black History Month to all our black brothers and sisters.

    After dropping an episode about a drag queen, we have to follow it up with a discussion on how things went afterwards, right? Well, we did and we can't wait for you to hear about it! Be Yourself To Free Yourself: a Drag Queen Story got the most listens in its first 2 days than any of our other episodes to date - and that's no small feat! We also dive into how we did on our 30-day challenge.

  • Be Yourself to Free Yourself: A Drag Queen Story

    This episode will not disappoint. We searched high and low for the most eccentric and colorful person and found none other than Nathaniel A.K.A Alistair. Alistair is our town's local drag queen and let me tell you, she is much more than just a drag queen. We got the honor to hear their story and to say we were shocked is an understatement. Nathaniel told us he was once a pastor who has been to conversion therapy and later came out as gay/nonbinary in 2018. Through coming out they are now living their best life being exactly how God created them. Hear the ups and downs of how Nathaniel came to be Alistair and what it's like being a fabulous drag queen.   If you are wondering about why we used multiple pronouns, it's not to refer to Nathaniel as more than one person but to respect the nonbinary part of them. Nathaniel tells us his pronouns in the episode as he/him, she/her, and they/them and we are more than happy to respect that.

    This episode was recorded via zoom bc poor Kathleen went and got sick, kinda. What really happened was Kathleen was sick but we had to do this via zoom because her younger two had to do pivot (PIVOT!) to home school this week and that made getting together hard. So thanks Zoom. Aubrie asks a really great question: If Kathleen's daughters are invited to special fun nights at Aubrie's church and they wanted to go would she and her husband be ok with them attending. We then go into intrusive thoughts and how they just found their way into Aubrie's head which she prayed about and used her spirituality to be able to cope and navigate her way out of it but made her wonder....how does Kathleen the atheist cope with things like that? We then discuss the 30 day challenge and how well it is going...or not going...and return to how Kathleen has a weird way of thinking and coping with things and how therapy is good. We hope you enjoy!

  • A Christian, Atheist, and Mystic walk into a bar...
    What in the world is a Mystic? This episodes guest, Candace Chantel, breaks it down for us. Candace grew up as a preachers kid and has since left Christianity and found a new path with Mysticism and Reiki healing. We dive deep into who is God to her and how she experiences God.
    Something super exciting about Candace is she is also a card reader so we have her pull our cards for a mini card reading session over the podcast and what she reveals is pretty amazing, it ends up blowing our minds. We recorded this episode in September of 2021 and to see how the cards read and what the podcast has done in those 4 months is really amazing.
    links to her site: thatreikimama.com and you can find her on Facebook, Instagram, and Tiktok
    Candace was kind enough to allow our listeners a discount to her services. The coupon code for 20% off is TCTA
    Thank you Candace for being such a great guest and an even better friend/life coach, you are a gift to the world and we are so glad to be able to share pieces of you with it. Love you!

  • The Morning Show 11
    In this episode we briefly cover how our Christmas went, highly embarrassing photo's that delight Kathleen, and how we feel about women having friendship type relationships with men bc Aubrie feels a certain way about physical affection and why not discuss, ya know. Then we dive into divorce and how we were taught about it growing up vs. how we feel about it now. We then turn to the whole seasonal depression that may or may not be creeping up on Aubrie bc it's nearing her sisters 6 year anniversary of dying. We then conclude with how the 30 day challenge is going for us...we may have dropped some balls, oops.

  • The Morning Show 10
    This one is a little racy in the beginning but nothing that should make your grandma blush. We bring up the Sex and the City reboot And Just Like That and how agism is in Hollywood, how they have a non binary character, and how we feel about Peloton's bad marketing decisions. We then go into what it would take for Aubrie and Kathleen to truly boo a pastor preaching. As well as when Aubrie's PTSD kicked in on the day of her oldest child's cardiologist appointment. 
    At the end we discuss a little bit more on the 30 day challenge and conclude with the discussion Aubrie had with her kids who asked why Kathleen celebrates Christmas even though she is an atheist. 
    Our shout out of the day is Ashley Mallory. We talk about her amazing business, if you would like to visit her website you can find it at emeraldexpressions.bigcartel.com and follow her on all social media at Emerald Expressions.
