S1E8: The One with April and Beecher

1 hour 27 minutes

Phil and Susie embark on a new journey with our first guests ever on the show! April Ajoy & Beecher Reuning are an amazing married duo who graciously agreed to join us today to talk about their marriage and how they navigated the discovery that Beecher was trans non-binary and how that made their marriage stronger, how purity culture affected their lives both individually and together, and about the deconstruction of their evangelical beliefs and where that's led and is leading.

April is a content creator who uses humor to shine light on the harmful, toxic and sometimes just weird traits of evangelicalism. She now identifies as a "recovering conservative" and is navigating through her own faith deconstruction journey through a comedic lens on social media.

Beecher is a non-binary filmmaker residing in Tennessee with their wife and two daughters. Having only recently come out, they are in the process of deconstructing oppressive ideologies in order to promote authenticity and a larger spiritual connection in themselves. It's a journey, but they still try have fun on the way.
