    #72. Going To A Brethren Funeral

    Welcome to another episode of the ExCommunicated podcast. We are two ex-Christians joined every week by a guest as we try to find freedom from the church after decades of control. 
     
    We're officially moving into our FOURTH season of the podcast, which feels surreal to even say, so thanks so much if you've made it this far!

    This week we give you a little life update, and Tom tells the story of attending a Brethren funeral service this week, and how it challenged him.
