“This podcast has been life-changing. I left the evangelical church a few years ago, but I still carried so much baggage, guilt, oppressive notions of faith and God, and confusion. My journey out of Evangelicalism was lonely, and I so wish I had had Nate and Tim then. But even now they have opened my eyes to the fact that there is a world of recovering evangelicals, that I am not alone and I wasn’t crazy or even heretical to leave! I have wept during some episodes—sometimes I’ve wept with joy and relief at meeting the loving God of scripture that had been eclipsed by the angry God of my former faith. I have wept from heartbreak while I listen because I have realized that I stayed too long, that I still carry pain, and because people I love are still burdened by that theology. I listen to their episodes multiple times, I sometimes agree and sometimes disagree. But it is a place of intellectual freedom, curiosity, doubt, trust, and love. I don’t know if Nate and Tim set out to change lives or to heal people who had been hurt by religion, but they’ve done just that. Thank you.”
