  • A Nervous System Reset

    The Faith Adjacent crew and their conversations calm my nervous system like an alternating cold/hot plunge: do they expose the icky parts of this thing called evangelicalism? Sure do. But then they get me back in the hot tub, warmed by the knowledge that there are smart and thoughtful people who take Jesus seriously enough to expose when his followers are being ridiculous. Thankful for this crew and their entertaining, enlightening, and empowering work!

  • Not So Alone

    Never really felt I fit the mold of the evangelical church, and it took being driven out of ours to find this podcast and realize there are Christians like me. I don’t HAVE to abandon myself and my convictions to be a Christian (gasp!)

    While I continue to heal, Faith Adjacent has become my “church” - and actually immensely helped my healing process - made me feel not so alone.

  • Faith for the unfaithful

    I’m agnostic but former Mormon and this show heals a lot of childhood trauma for me. Even though the hosts are still actively Christian and they discuss more mainstream Christian topics, the discussions of how evangelical behaviors have traumatized them as well really heals my wounds because we’re not alone. Knowing that so many were affected by purity cultural and are healing and growing is amazing. Also, just knowing that some people can deconstruct but come back to their faith is really amazi... more
