  2. Number 2: Honest doubts and Hard goodbyes : The Real Reason People Leave

    For decades, the dominant cultural narrative has been that people leave the church because they "want to sin". For those of us that are deconstructing, the truth is much more complex, painful and very intentional. Leaving is not the easy way out - its often a heartbreaking last resort. In this episode we unpack real, lived experiences behind the modern faith exodus. We move past the narrow minded assumptions and look at the genuine, moral and emotional turning points that cause people to say goodbye to the only community they've ever known.

  3. Number 3: Still not hot - Even more lies we believed

    In part two of our finale on modesty culture, we’re moving from the wardrobe to the psyche. We joke about the ankle-length skirts and the rule against spaghetti straps, but what happens when you actually try to unpack the shame attached to them? This week, we’re tackling the heavier lies we were fed—like the idea that your worth is tied to your fabric coverage—while keeping it light enough to remind you that we all survived it. Tune in for the final breakdown of why "modest is hottest" was the biggest lie of the 2000s. I'd love to hear from you, please share what's on your mind! I would love to hear from you!

  5. Number 5: Omni-awkward: The Trouble with Perfection

    In this episode, we're hanging out with our old pal Epicurus. He's the guy who realized a few thousand years ago that you can't really have an all-powerful, all-loving god AND a world where mosquitos can kill you, and pediatric cancer exists. It's the Epicurean Paradox, and it's the ultimate glitch in the matrix for traditional faith. I'd love to hear from you, please share what's on your mind! I would love to hear from you!
