Rob Eastman shares his incredibly powerful story of bullying, mental health, religion, suicide, and addiction.  He tells us the role religion played in his life and how he was able to gain perspective about belief through his travels.  Does religion have a line that can be crossed before it becomes harmful?  find out in this powerful episode.

I had a great conversation with Daryl White who has a list of heresies within the mormon faith.  We discuss foundational doctrinal points such as the adam and eve story and why he believes it would have been better for adam and eve to just obey.  He believes the prophet nephi (a character in the book of mormon) was mistaken when he heard the voice of the lord instructing him to kill laban.  He believes he heard the voice of satan.  We explore many of his other heresies and dive deeper into why he believes the book of mormon is a real document and why it is foundational in his belief in god.

Listen to my fun and engaging conversation with Tua Kealoha, a passionate influencer in his community who is a seeker of truth. We challenge main stream religion and discuss how one arrives at their current status in life.  we also discuss whether or not free will is illusory.  we take a stab at what the spirit is and what it means to have a spiritual experience.

I sit down with Jonelle and discuss why she thinks culture is important.  We also dive into the murky realm of morality and tolerance.  Should we be more tolerant as a society?

Ryan Wittman shares his story and talks about how his parents' open mindedness allowed him to explore truth from a secular position.  We discuss his belief on the afterlife and how we should approach our lives in the here and now.  Where does morality come from and is there a line to be drawn between morality and human well being?

In this final part of my conversation with Travis, we were able to find common ground and let cooler minds prevail.  We discuss the danger in taking biblical text literally and why Travis feels strongly about the doctrine of the Mormon faith.  He talks about the necessity of modern day prophets and how they help adherents of their faith sift through confusing doctrine in scripture. I challenge that idea at length.

Listen as Travis continues to summer sault his way through his logic for the Christian/Mormon Faith.

Kicking off our new season with a no holds barred conversation with one of my biggest critics.  If you can stomach it, you'll hear exactly why religion drives wedges between families and friends...because it's a free for all open season of interpretation and mental gymnastics to try and understand archaic text written in the bronze age. It was not my intention to critique scripture but that is where the conversation took us and that is where the game was played.  Fasten your seatbelts.

My impassioned conversation with Glenn takes an interesting turn as we explore what fiction means and how it plays into our perspective on reality.  Is there such a thing called truth.  If so what does it look like?  Take a listen and find out.

I had a fun time chatting with my youngest sun Va'a about his experience during our transition from religion to free thinking. Listen to how he received the news when I announced to my family that I was leaving religion and god altogether. It became clear really fast who knew more about the secrets of life.  We can learn a lot from a 12 year old boy!
