  • Morning Show 32: Mormon Afterlife, Halftime show, and how we deal with death differently

    This episode, as Kathleen points out, is a little unhinged.  We start with how fun it was to find out Rihanna is pregnant via the halftime show. Then, Aubrie brings up a topic that is giving her anxiety and she wonders if Kathleen ever finds herself feeling similar or if she deals with things differently. Finally, we go into the rabbit hole of how Mormons view afterlife. It's full of information and opinions from an ex-Mormon so if you find yourself particularly sensitive to hearing potentially negative things pointed towards the Mormon belief system then we advise you to skip the topic. We will be going into Book Club: Unbelieve by Marla Taviono so if you want to read the book of poems in preparation of next week's episode you can find it on Amazon or you can get a signed copy from Marla herself, just look her up on Facebook and shoot her a message.

  • Book Club: Permission Granted
    Welcome to Book Club! Our first guest is Dr. Jennifer Bird, biblical scholar and author of Permission Granted. We sat down with Dr. Bird to discuss her views on the Bible, her career, and her beautifully written book! It’s definitely worth reading, but don’t take our word for it!
    About the Author:
    Jennifer Bird grew up in the United Methodist Church and was doing full time ministry after college, when people around her started showing her that sometimes the Bible doesn’t say what she had always thought that it did. So, she went to seminary in order to learn biblical languages for herself. This led to other unexpected discoveries along the way, all of which fueled her desire to share with others the things she was learning. She completed doctoral studies in New Testament and Early Christianity from Vanderbilt University in 2007, and has been teaching in classrooms in Tennessee, North Carolina, Oregon, and most recently Virginia ever since. Her scholarship focuses on inviting people to read the Bible seriously, and for themselves, especially in relation to topics such as gender, marriage, sexuality, and what it is saying to women. In her free time, you can find Jennifer outdoors, working out, or cuddling with her feline companion, Minerva.

    Go check out her website to see the new book she's about to drop, and her YouTube channel, with weekly short videos of “food for thought” content related to the Bible.

  • Morning Show 30: Mormon Sunday Explained

    Before we dive into our Mormon topic of the day we dive into the craziness of Britany Spears and Madonna. Is there talk of aliens being involved? Yes, because what other reason would there be??? We get to a topic we are sure you as our listeners can agree on and that's how annoying impostor syndrome is and how we think we can help prevent it with our own kids. 

    The Mormon topic is about the "day in the life" of a Mormon on Sunday and what they would encounter. Kathleen tells us about Primary, the Relief Society, the Priesthood, and how the classes work. Oh, and we can't forget about sacrament. 

    Enjoy the fun.

  • Taking it Back to 2021

    We are doing a little throw back with this episode to give our listeners a taste of what could have been. When we first started, we were thinking of doing a segment called "Rapid Fire Friday" where we just throw out questions and answer them. This had to be May 2021 and we were working on getting comfortable behind the mic. We hope you enjoy this never before heard segment of R.F.F. where we discuss hall passes, strippers, and bucket list topics. We will see you next we with a new Morning Show. 

    February starts off book club for us. We read the 2 books and interviewed 3 authors that we know you will all enjoy.  Go read Permission Granted by Dr. Jennifer Bird, Unbelieve by Marla Taviano, and Christianity Made Me Talk Like an Idiot by Seth Andrews to get a taste of what we will be bringing.

  • Morning Show 29: Patriarchal Blessings and spicy questions

    Twenty-nine is a special one, we tease upcoming episode ideas that might make you blush or make you lean in to hear more. Kathleen has a question for Aubrie and then Aubrie has a question for Kathleen. It's a fun take on how each person see's things. Kathleen then gets into what a Patriarchal Blessing is and reads from hers. It's super interesting how the process of getting one happens and then what impact it has on those who receive it. Happy listening!

  • We Do Hard Things

    Funny title because we are who we are. But in all fairness, it's a fun and slightly serious episode as we look back on what 2022 looked like for us as a podcast and as individuals. Sometimes it felt like we were reading old posts from Facebook and cringing and other times we felt a sense of pride for accomplishing hard things. Sit back and enjoy the ride. As always thank you so much to all our listeners, supporters, and whoever else is out there listening. Love ya!

  • Morning Show 28: Seducing the President
    It's short and sweet but we packed in some really funny sh*t on this one. Is Aubrie trying to seduce the president or is she just losing her mind? What's in Kathleen's “just in case” envelope? All this and more. Y'all stay safe out there, the holidays are here and it's crazy! Happy Holiday's!!!

  • We Found an Atheist Church!

    *Insert heathen emoji here* Well we gone and done it. We found us a Satanist straight out of the fires of the underworld. Ok it's not really like that. What we did do is find out that Satanists don't really worship Satan. There is so much to unpack here, and we hope that you give it a listen and learn something new. This isn't a conversion episode but one that makes space for learning and growth.

     Thank you so much to our guests the Blackmore's for coming on our show and sharing with us.
