David Hayward joins us on the show! He's a cartoonist, writer, former pastor and an all around good guy. We talk about his background, what led him to leaving the ministry and what inspires his work today. You're gonna love it. Enjoy.

Seth Price joins us on the show! He's a podcaster who chats regularly with Theologians, Pastors, Artists, and more. We chat about his background and what led to his questioning.

Chrissy Stroop is a Writer, Scholar & Ex-Evangelical. She's the creator of viral hashtags like #ChristianAltFacts, #EmptyThePews, #ExposeChristianSchools and most recently, #ILeftBecause, which led blogger Chrissy Stroop to ask people to share their own reasons for walking away from not just Church but conservative Christianity altogether. Enjoy.

Many of us grew up feeling it was important to "speak the truth in love." And the emphasis was on the speaking. It's time for the emphasis to fall on the loving. Biblical scholar and popular podcast host of The Bible for Normal People, Jared Byas, casts a new vision for the Christian life that's built not on needing to be right about the Bible, but on loving people well even when we disagree with them.

Nikole Mitchell joins us on the show! We talk about what it was like coming out as queer in a straight marriage, climbing the ministry ladder, leaving behind things that no longer serve you, how the world is much more benevolent than we think it is and why limiting beliefs can hold us back from a living a purposeful life. Enjoy.

The Holidays aren't always happy and that's okay. We're right there with you. We're taking the week off but we will back again next week. Stay safe.

Anonymous (for now) PreachersNSneakers Instagram account owner “Tyler Jones” joins us on the show. We chat about how the account got started, which started as a joke and how it turned into a movement challenging the status quo, raising questions like, “Is it moral or right for someone to get stupid rich off of tithes and offerings?” He also shares with us his background and why navigating challenging questions with humor, wit, candor is so important. Enjoy.

Phil Drysdale joins us on the show. He's a speaker/podcaster who chats regularly with people deconstructing their faith, as well as spiritual leaders in his research and study.

We chat about his background and what led to his deconstruction. He also defines for us what deconstruction is and why often times people in the community of faith tend to push for reconstruction. Plus reasons why labels can be so unhelpful. Enjoy.

Seth Andrews is a broadcaster, storyteller, author, activist, and public speaker best known as host of the popular website, podcast and online community, The Thinking Atheist.

It’s everybody’s favorite topic of conversation: politics. YAYYYY!!! Tess and David discuss why they're voting for Biden and are joined by Trump supporter, and friend of the show, John Steigleder, to hear his perspective. Enjoy.
