    I found this pod 6 months ago at a time when I’ve been increasing my attendance at a Unitarian Universalist congregation (for community), reckoning with my atheism, and deciphering what it means to be a humanist. This pod has been an amazing guide on this journey and a palate cleanser from politics during the ‘24 elections.

    While I’m working oldest to newest, I’m still saddened to hear that Bart is stepping down (for now).

    I intend to become a to this pod whether he’s putting out new content... more

  • What we need

    Just found the podcast and it is what I have been hoping to find for a long time. It is thoughtful, nuanced, touching and positive. Episode #803 was my first listen and what a perfect introduction to what this podcast is all about.

My experiences of life and faith feel eerily similar to Bart’s and it is so refreshing to hear it talked about in a positive and open way. The guests on the show are broad and insightful and offer real value to anyone on a journey from faith. Thanks for making this podcast Bart and I hope it conti... more
