It's Feeling a Bit Culty
Sister Lisa shares her struggles and thoughts on her grad school experience as she prepares to be a therapist, and how her religious past informs her approach and understanding of the system.
The siblings read some *fascinating* articles on tithing from the most recent issue of Liahona, and discuss how much they think about this whole Mormonism thing these days and how much they really need to talk about it going forward …

Do You Want to Sing a Hymn?
Bonus material from our episode ‘Christian & Atheist Walk Into a Bar’ - Comparing Christian and Mormon hymns, the power of music and art in relation to faith in God, as well as a Christian perspective on Stoicism and the precariousness of interpreting the Bible.
Bonus points to those who have seen SLC Punk! - https://youtu.be/6qr-wDh95TM -
Christian & Atheist Walk Into a Bar
Dan and Lisa welcome Brother Bryan, a Christian who was previously involved with the Four Square church and now associates with the Church of the Nazarene.
Bryan and Dan have had several fruitful discussions around Faith, Atheism, Christian denominations, biblical literalism, similarities and contrasts in their respective religious experiences, and have have found friendship and comradery in them. So, we gave him an open invite to have one of those discussions on the show. We also welcome our mutual friend Brother Armando, a former Christian who told his story on the previous episode ‘Confessions of a Former Shi**y Youth Pastor’.
We appreciate Bryan’s willingness to express his faith, his vulnerability in sharing his personal experience, and his willingness to recognize the shortcomings in religious organizations and inappropriate applications of personal beliefs. We hope anyone who cares to comment on our discussion will show the same courtesy and respect we show each other.
‘Instead of coming from the gratitude and the place of - God loves me, and taking that love and sharing that with other people, they beat them over the head with a Bible and say - God hates you! It’s terrible irony. And that breaks my heart more than anything’

Customer Reviews
Great podcast my new favorite!!!
This is a great podcast if you are faith transitioning out of “Ziontology” their words 😆love these sibs and their banter!!
Honest, informative, and refreshingly irreverent
As a doubting Mormon, this podcast is a fun and safe place to freely think. Thank you.
Fascinating and fun discussions
These conversations between ‘Brother Dan’ and ‘Sister Lisa’ center around their experiences as former members of the LDS religion and culture, but actually and importantly extend far beyond Mormonism into the general realm of humanistic and philosophical thought. As a never-churched humanist, but one who is glancingly familiar with Mormonism through a friend, I have taken an almost anthropological interest in the whole paradigm. Anyway, listening to the discussions is so interesting, and they both are such a kick: their back-and-forth funny, incisive and smart! Keep up the great work!
