So, you've deconstructed yourself out of the church... Now what? A few years ago, you'd probably call me a "JesusFreak." But after a seemingly mundane and ultimately life-changing experience, I found myself leaving the church, renouncing my Christian title, and seeking God without a religion. While leaving Christianity was freeing, it's also lonely. So whether you're an agnostic, a deconstructing Christian, or something in between - let's talk and figure this out together.

    Is Modest Really Hottest? -- And More Discussions with a Mormon!

    By this point, you’ve probably heard the song “Modest is Hottest” by Matthew West. This cringe-y pop tune reminds us about the worst of purity culture, but what about those that have used modesty as a positive force in their lives? We’ll discuss this and more with my friend Conliegh - an active member of the LDS (Mormon) church.

    Purity Culture, Premarital Sex, and the Catholic Church

    Let's talk purity culture! In this episode, former-Catholic Millie and I will discuss the church's teachings on sexuality and how its affected our adult lives. But this podcast isn't just about the past. We'll also give some preliminary thoughts about how to move forward from this presumably well-intentioned but sometimes damaging movement.  Join the conversation on:  Twitter @HOTExvangelical Instagram: @HOTExvangelical And more socials coming soon!  Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/bosnow/mantra
