“The constant lumping of all evangelicals into one group and bashing them collectively comes across as obsessive and terribly unkind. I could not stomach the bigotry they have toward this one group. I’m drawn toward deconstructing my own faith and finding a more loving and kind approach to faith....”Read full review »

“This show has been brilliant. I feel as though I have learned so much than I have ever before in church alone. It’s wonderful to hear people across disciplines and it truly opens your eyes to seek God out for yourself instead of being reliant on your Sunday lessons only. I love the honest...”Read full review »

“This is one of my top deconstruction podcasts and most certainly one that I have to make sure I have the notes app or a piece of paper and pen handy for! I love being introduced to new voices and concepts (the most recent episode on open theism was so interesting!) Thank you, Gary and Kelly!”

“Very grateful to have found this conversation. My husband and I have been having them for years. It is wonderful to hear so many more voices and those who understand the culture discuss the issues with annoyance and compassion. Your focus is true. Keep it up. We’re listening!”
