Jenny Smith hosts a lighthearted Un Holier Podcast episode with Brittany Racine from the Might Get Loud Podcast about “culty” social norms that aren’t technically cults. They joke about being pulled into the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City fandom and discuss cult-like dynamics in hustle culture and burnout, work-life balance guilt, survival-mode productivity, and diet/wellness trends like detoxes, fasting, and sourdough. They also cover people-pleasing, family pressure and obligations, social media as a cult-like system driven by algorithms and influencer behavior, and parenting and youth sports culture—including judgment on mom forums and team identity. The conversation ends with rapid-fire takes on things like answering emails on vacation, meal prepping, leaving group chats, toxic positivity, dress codes for women, wedding trends, and AI-generated social posts, and plugs Brittany’s Might Get Loud Podcast. #UnHolierPodcast #MicAtLoud #Culty #HustleCulture #Burnout #WorkLifeBalance #DietCulture #WellnessCulture #Sourdough #PeoplePleasing #SocialMedia #Algorithm #Influencers #Parenting #MomGuilt #YouthSports #RealHousewivesOfSaltLakeCity #RHOSLC #Podcast

In this episode of the Un Holier Podcast, host Jenny Smith sits down with Luke Roberts (known to many as LJR) for a raw and vulnerable conversation about the cost of losing your faith—and the beauty of finding yourself.

Luke spent years at the front of the sanctuary as a worship leader, but behind the scenes, the foundation of his evangelical upbringing was cracking. Today, he shares the intimate details of his deconstruction journey, the painful process of leaving the church, and how he eventually reconstructed a life centered on healing and authentic spirituality.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The turning point: When Luke realized he could no longer stay.
• The "Worship Leader" identity crisis.
• How music became a tool for healing rather than just performance.
• Practical advice for anyone feeling trapped in a belief system that no longer fits.
• What "Reconstruction" actually looks like on the other side.

Whether you are currently questioning your faith, have already left, or are just looking for a story of radical honesty, Luke’s journey offers a roadmap for moving from fear to freedom.
