It started with one book. One idea: maybe the Bible wasn’t written outside of    patriarchy. That thread pulled Gabie’s faith wide open. In this episode, she shares her journey through doubt, the atheist boyfriend who got it more than her evangelical friends, and how she found a new spiritual home in Not Church. If you’re deconstructing, she’s got one thing to say—It's going to be OK

The Israelites just escaped Egypt, and what do they do first? Throw a party. In this episode, we dive into the songs of Moses and Miriam, explore how feasting and celebration are just as spiritual as prayer and fasting, and talk about why you shouldn’t try to do faith alone—especially when the wilderness hits. Oh, and that manna? Might’ve been natural. Still holy.

No, Constantine didn’t choose the books of the Bible. No, the Bible isn’t a culture manual for modern life. And no, you’re not supposed to just read it—you’re supposed to let it read you. In this episode, we get into what the Bible actually is, how it came to be, and how to study it without turning into a fundamentalist meme.

It’s the part of the Exodus story everyone remembers—God parts the sea, the people escape, Pharaoh gets wrecked. But this week, we dig deeper into how that miracle actually happened (spoiler: strong wind all night), why magical thinking screws up our theology, and how to make rituals that help us actually remember the things we learn instead of just waiting for another dramatic rescue.

Dan Beecher was this close to spending two years knocking on doors for Mormonism—then he decided he didn’t believe any of it. In this episode, we talk about his journey from devoted Mormon to full-blown atheist, how he became an evangelist for atheism, and why he now chooses to partner with some religious people instead of trying to convince them they're wrong. Plus, he drops some solid advice for anyone going through deconstruction.

Locusts, darkness, and a final plague so brutal it makes everyone uncomfortable—yep, we’re in the deep end of Exodus now. In this episode, we wrestle with plagues 6-10, Pharaoh’s terrible decision-making, and why we love making desperate promises to God they never keep. Plus, a reminder that even in the worst moments, good things can happen—and rejecting them doesn’t make you noble, it just makes you miserable.

Purity pledges? Bad idea. Arguing with atheists? Also bad idea. This episode features two chapters from How to Not Suck as a Christian, covering why purity culture does more harm than good and why debating atheists is a waste of time. Instead of fear-mongering about sex and ‘winning souls’ through arguments, maybe it’s time to try something revolutionary—being a decent human.

She loved church. The rituals, the architecture, the sacred feeling of it all. But then came seminary—a place where evangelical theology goes to die. We talk about how actual biblical study led her to deconstruction, how Celtic spirituality filled the void, and why she now finds God in nature, ritual, and yes—even the theatre.

Step one: debunk every anti-LGBTQ verse with actual biblical scholarship. Step two: show how the Bible is pro-trans. Step three: remind ourselves that forcing ancient cultural norms onto modern society is a terrible idea. This week, we’re breaking down why the Bible’s big-picture message is radical inclusivity—no matter how hard fundamentalists try to make it about exclusion.

Austin was just living his life—deconstructing, working as a deacon, and making spicy tweets—when the Southern Baptist Illuminati™ (okay, not their real name, but might as well be) outed him to his church who fired him and kept ruining his life. But plot twist: when evangelicals cast him out, the LGBTQ community did something wild—they actually acted like Jesus. This is the second part of his story, and it is tragic and hopeful.
