Have you ever felt abandoned by the religious community you once belonged to?

In today's episode of the Figuring It Out Podcast, we share our experiences of feeling “ghosted” by our former churches, the surprising moments when we realized those we thought disliked us actually didn’t, and the most important lessons we've learned from distancing ourselves from our respective faith-based upbringings.

Rhett McLaughlin, half of the dynamic duo behind "Good Mythical Morning," sparked a ton of discussion in February 2020 when he opened up about his deconstruction journey.

Ever since, it’s been something of an annual tradition for Rhett to give updates regarding his spiritual evolution.

Today, we’re taking a look at some recent clips from his podcast where he discusses the evangelical reaction to his deconstruction – specifically the critiques found in the book, Surprised by Doubt.

But that's not all! We'll also discuss…

• insights from the documentary series "Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV
• Travis’ recent interview with comedian and popular podcaster Zach Justice
• Abraham Piper’s perspective on why “no one truly believes in hell”

…and so much more!

Whether you're a fan of Rhett, curious about spiritual journeys, or intrigued by behind-the-scenes controversy in the entertainment world, this episode has something for everyone.
