Being "Unequally Yoked" is a major concern when one partner in a couple goes through a faith change without the other, and our guests today have generously shared that journey with us all. 
Ben and Andrea are a mixed-faith couple that went through this tricky process and have come out the other side stronger. In this interview we talk about those first difficult conversations, about therapy and how that was instrumental for them, and about all the things they learned about themselves and about each other as they went through this life change. In addition, we explore some of the very practical ways in which they have been able to make their mixed faith relationship work for them.
As always, I hope you enjoy!

“On a base level of what feels right and wrong, rejecting a person for wanting to experience love just didn’t feel right at all.”
Today’s episode is an interview with David, who grew up in the southern Church or Christ and left the faith later in life.
We talk about what is was like growing up in a southern fundamentalist church, about having doubts as a kid, but not knowing how to express them, about a conversation with a coworker that completely changed his life, and about how common sense has to be a higher moral standard than any religious book. We wrap things up by discussing the difficulties in dealing with bitterness on the other side.
I hope you enjoy!

“Belief is not a choice, and if it’s not a choice then the burden is off of my shoulders”
Today’s episode is an interview with Andi + Jeremy, a couple who, similar to Katie and me, started their relationship as committed christians but then headed down the path of deconversion.
We talk about their origins and the first dominos that started to fall, about the difficulties that came with losing their faiths at different rates, about telling their family and friends, and about all of the healing that they’ve found on the other side. 
I hope you enjoy!

“For the first time in my life I feel a freedom and a love and acceptance that Ive never had, ever. I can feel my power.”

Letting go of the promise of heaven is a really hard part of leaving the faith and leaves many of us with a fear of death.
In this episode, we discuss this typically heavy topic with death doula Caroline Ingraham Lee. We talk about her story and how she became a death doula, and discuss what that means on a practical level.We end by talking about how facing her own mortality head-on has helped her to live a richer, more engaged and more fulfilling life, and she shares her thoughts about overcoming a lingering fear of hell and the unknown. I really, really enjoyed this conversation and hope you do too...Show links:
