In this episode we're talking about Christians who no longer go to church. Some have trauma from their experiences of attending. Others find value in meeting in person each week, even if they don't always get on with everyone.

Oliva Jackson is author of (Un)Certain: A Collective Memoir of Deconstructing Faith which uses the stories and reflections of over 150 interviewees from believers who felt the need to leave churches in order to heal.

Emma Fowle is Deputy Editor of Premier Christianity and Editor of Voice of Hope, Premier's quarterly devotional magazine. She's a regular churchgoer in her home in Cornwall.

Our Great Sexpectations dilemma this episode is: 'I'm scared of childbirth but want children, what should I do?'
