Customer Reviews
Absolutely amazing and needed!
Been following your insta for a while now and have binged about 35 episodes over the last week. All are so amazing and needed. I love the different voices you platform and you have an amazing interview style and presence! Keep doing and raising up more voices!
#130 With Sheila Gregoire and daughter
Wow. The mocking laughter all the way through and then the complaint about how she is described, words which comes verbatim --directly from her own website description of herself, which I assume Gregoire wrote...
This episode is a very sad representation .I'm not even talking about the book or the excerpt which needed to be pulled and edited. I hope it is. I'm talking about how we are called to respond when confronting confusion or untruth. Sad.Power,Or the illusion there of, can corrupt.
Fantastic podcast
Tim, thank you. Your podcast is helping me so much as I am in the midst of my deconstruction journey. I appreciate the respect, care, curiosity, honesty, and compassion with which you address all of these topics.
Love the guests you have on, and the variety of topics discussed, and how we get into the gritty stuff that is so often completely avoided in religious spaces.
Thank you so much for your work - your podcast is a lifeline in these wild times!
