    Jessica: Winning the deconstruction lottery

    Steph joins me in hosting as we talk to Jessica about music and emotionalism, really bad mission trips and miraculous toes, and the power of friendship! If you want to hear more about Jessica's YWAM DTS experience, check out the No Culty Vibes podcast episode titled "The CULT of YWAM: Amanda's Story Part Two NIKO" at https://open.spotify.com/episode/6njeLSlphqmmCw5Ve8sfLT?si=ZpWLXGSAQuao5zNX14uPnQ or wherever you like to listen to podcasts. Also, we make some references to a previous episode that didn't get published due to recording problems, in case you go looking for it. Also also, we recorded this in August of 2024 but I'm publishing it in August of 2025 because doing basic things is hard. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Ehb: Man, myth, legend

    Ehb and I finally sit down so I can grill him on his life story. It's a jam-packed joyride full of twists and turns and explosions. Sort of. This is also Ehb's last episode cohosting, so we shed some tears, reflect on the last year of doing this, and talk about the future of the podcast. Hosted on Acast.

    David: Rock solid intentions

    Heads up! Our guest this episode is still a Christian, but has church trauma just like the rest of us. We get into some theological discussion in this episode after about the 45-minute mark. If hearing someone talk about why they're still a Christian doesn't sound fun to you, you'll want to skip to the peaceful resolution around the 70-minute mark. We talk to David about odd and immature aspects of the Charismatic church, the loneliness of losing community, and philosophical and theological fun stuff. Hosted on Acast.

    Jeremy: A long list of questions

    We talk to Jeremy about feeling alone growing up between two different styles of Christianity, why the universe is exactly 6,000 years old, and finding the freedom to move on when his questions had no good answers. Jeremy also shared a reflection he posted on Instagram called Reasons why I’m glad I left the church that you should check out. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Steph: Ghosting the church

    We talk to Steph about leaving the church when cracks began to show, a different sort of teenage rebellion, finding meaning and community in theater, the dangers of isolation when "falling away", and restoring their mental health after years of church control. Steph also wanted us to shout out the amazing artist Stephanie Stalvey. Go check out her Instagram if you're super not into purity culture. Hosted on Acast.

    Justin: When in doubt, believe

    Hi, I'm Justin, one of the hosts around here. Joined by my trusty co-host Ehb, we interview my church friends from teenagehood and get super vulnerable, sharing the stories of how our beliefs have changed in the last decade or more. In this first episode, Ehb interviews me all about the oddities of the charismatic church, the doubts I repressed, and how I eventually imploded (and found peace, after the imploding part).
