- Helped piece myself back together
I left the church at 20 having experienced what I didn’t realize at the time was religious trauma. Almost two decades later I started the deconstruction process except I didn’t have that language for it and didn’t realize that’s what I was doing. I’m now almost 52 and have been listening for several years. With every interview and every host conversation it was like a little bit more of myself was knitting back together and claiming that much more peace around my beliefs—and more importantly wha... more

I came to this podcast when I was returning to Christianity but it hasn’t been the right fit for me. It seems less about growing in faith and more about that word the host uses a lot. - deconstructing. They pull apart the faith until it breaks and has no meaning. The Rachel Held Evan’s’ episodes were a high point. Seems like a podcast for recovering Christian’s rather than Christians.

After 13 years I don’t think I’ve missed more than a couple episodes! I love all the hosts from over the years. Thanks for introducing me to so many incredible voices over the years to help me think deeper about the world, spirituality, and what it means to be human.
Apple Podcasts5elaaronbrandtUnited States8 months ago - Bubble time
I listened to the episode on the far right and came away thinking that Helen and the two hosts are deep inside a progressive liberal middle class bubble and are not listening, really listening to people like Stephen Yaxley Lennon and it is too easy to smear them as far right. They have no time for the nuance of Stephen who says repeatedly that the people he loves most in this world are black and brown and that he does not believe like our politicians that multiculturalism has failed. It hasn’t a... more
Apple Podcasts3hongyiUnited Kingdom10 months ago - Fantastic Podcast
I’m currently not attending or serving in a church for the first time in my 54 years. This podcast, recommended by a friend, has really helped me reflect upon my faith, the good, the bad and the ugly. I now feel as if I’m part of a community of people who may love Jesus deeply but are examining how ‘religion’ may have undermined self identity and are working on developing an authentic life giving spirituality.
