Ashlee from Macabre Maidens Metalcast and Kevin from the Jesus Unfollower Podcast and online community join the conversation for our first deep dive into religious discourse.Despite our nun-themed podcast, we've surprisingly waited until now to tackle such a poignant topic.

And for a touch of humor, we wrap up our discussion with some surprisingly risqué Bible verses.Whether you're post-religion or seeking a community of like-minded individuals, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in for an honest, heartfelt, and occasionally humorous conversation about finding freedom and community beyond faith.
