CTR Rings: Treasure or Trauma‪?‬ Beyond Belief: Treasure or Trauma

Beyond Belief: Treasure or Trauma - Hosted by Marisa & Russel

About the Podcast: We live in a world where the non-secular and the secular live side by side; where hypocrisy is disguised as religion, and the only explanations are usually bullshit. Can you separate good from the bad? To do so, you must break through the web of your upbringing and open your mind to things Beyond Belief.

About the Episode: We go back to the world of Mormonism in this episode, as Russel teaches Marisa about the cultural phenomenon that is the CTR ring. Join the not-so-pious pair as they break down the OG purity rings that put WWJD bracelets to shame, complete with octogenarian credit feuds, emotional scars, and a lesson in the dangers of masturbation. In the end, what will the verdict be: Treasure or Trauma?
