“This podcast is amazing! So many much needed conversations take place. I appreciate the experiential, and fairly neutral mindset of this podcast. It is helpful to wrap your mind around many of concepts taught and experiences of growing up in fundamentalism and being a fundamentalist. Regardless...”Read full review »

“I’m new to IWATF and was introduced to it by my friends Sharon and Tracey, who I worked with at Last Days Ministries in the early 80’s, and that you interviewed here. I was also a part of their Keith Green plane crash episode.
I just finished your Cult hacking today and your Bart Ehrman earlier...”Read full review »

“Really appreciate this show, the hosts personal, open style of sharing, how well they listen to and affirm their guests, the quality of guests they regularly host, and how they strive to be honest and objective about what’s really happening in churches everywhere.
Thank you gents!”

“I like that the tone is (mostly) not judgy and angry, but allows a full exploration of people’s experiences. The Geoff Bullock interview was particularly fascinating, as that’s our vintage.”

“These guys really know how to bring the truly ridiculousness of fundamentalist Christianity alive. And their insider connections mean their guests are of a very high calibre.
With the hosts’ Aussie slant, you know it will be irreverent. Def 5 star quality.”

“This podcast is the best for those of us who are looking towards new pathways after deconstruction and dealing with religious trauma. Brian and Troy are vulnerable in sharing their own stories, but do so with humour and warmth. I’m enjoying all the guest speakers and have totally binged the back...”Read full review »

“Listening to Brian and Troy and their guests telling their stories has been both fascinating and cathartic. Doesn’t matter if you left fundamentalism in 1993 or 2023, the stories are familiar, and it’s both helpul and entertaining to hear them told from the distance of a decade or two, with the...”Read full review »

“I’m an ex-AOG member (West Midlands, Uk). This organsisation monopolised my energy, time and resources for years. Thank goodness I walked away. So glad this pod is here for folk like me. Great guests as well. Thanks B & T - for the insight and helping me to begin to heal from the abuse 👍”

“Having just listened to the 2 podcasts on Keith Green I am so sad, it is like my childhood has taken another crumble.
I have spent today listening to all his albums on Spotify and instantly knew every word, wow he was influential.
I have been out of the church scene for so long but still working...”Read full review »

“As a former Christian who fully drank the Kool-Aid, I have absolutely loved listening to people I can relate to on multiple topics. They manage to not bash religion, while telling stories of their own lives which highlight many of the issues in their own lives because of organized religion.”

But, it...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast and the Facebook group that accompanies it. It’s raw and honest. It’s like therapy for ex-fundies. It’s so powerful to listen to the podcast and realise that the path to the deconstruction of the harm religion does is not unique.”

I grew up in the “Buckle of the Bible Belt” in the US and went to an independent Pentecostal church and attended AOG youth rallies and camps in the 90’s and early 2000’s.
