Erēmos Journal Podcast

ēj

A post-Catholic podcast exploring faith, doubt, pop culture, and making meaning beyond organized religion. Four friends and former Catholic youth ministers — Colin, Elise, Teresa, and Travis — journey through the gray areas of belief, deconstruction, politics, and pop culture. Named after the erēmos — the desert place where Jesus went to wrestle with angels and demons — this podcast is for everyone who’s ever asked big questions, scrolled during Mass, or screamed into the spiritual void. Welcome to the wilderness.
