Hi. My name is Mike Maeshiro. I'm a gay, deconstructed former Christian minister. I wanted a place where I wasn't teaching and more inviting my audience on the journey with me in a candid and exploratory way. So I started this podcast. I hope my journey is helpful for you. With curiosity and a critical mind, let's dive in. Music by Alex_MakeMusic

Since finding this podcast I have devoured it. Much of what is discussed is either directly relevant to me or people I know. Mike is a great facilitator and communicator.
Thankful for all your insights and perspectives. Looking forward to season 3!
My name is Gabrielle, I am writing in to let you know that I like your podcast. Much love you, from Minnesota.
Hey Mike listening to the Lyl episode Carley is my coach too loving our sessions can so relate to Jessie 🥰
Mike spoke at my DTS in Tokyo and his teaching on Discerning Spirits changed me. I believed lies my whole life and they were broken during this week. I love the podcasts, God always speaks so much through them! Mike is also so easy to listen to because he’s genuine and is simply following Jesus.
