I so appreciate the honesty and nuance you bring to all these conversations. Even though it makes me suuuuper concerned about the future of our democracy 😬 Republican state legislatures are laying the groundwork to overturn election results in 2024 if they don’t like the results, all based on the...Read full review »

Love listening to you two. Feels like hanging out with friends, just casual and easy. Justin-would love to hear about why you chose to be sober and that journey Calvin-would love to hear about what forms of spirituality have replaced Christianity for you (if that’s the case)

Great podcast! Thoughtful, funny, meaningful, and honest discussions about being a evangelical christian kid and now being an adult putting it all together. Thanks for creating the podcast guys, it has been so helpful!

I love this podcast! I believe that one of the biggest problems we face in the world today is lack of transparency and truth. I believe Jesus was here to teach union in Christ but that his teachings have been so misunderstood and misconstrued in the church. Union only comes thru acceptance of...Read full review »

I’ve been binging this all week, I grew up Mormon and I can relate to so much to your experiences. You guys are “doing the lord’s work” hahaha

Thank you so much for telling your stories in a fun and truthful way. I did grow up Christian (not as intense as your experience) but have nodded several times with a 🤯🤯 reaction.

This is so validating and cathartic. I love hearing them talk about experience that mirror so many of mine.
Pattymae1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/14/21
There is a real void of this being talked about to the extent it is here. This journey from evangelical to post-evangelical as a queer person does not get talked about nearly enough. And these two are so nice to listen to and take a very deep, but also humorous approach to the conversation. I...Read full review »

I can relate to a lot of what you talk about. It is a life long journey of recovery.

Justin is great, but Calvin comes across as still being “holier than thou” They talk about things that those who grew up religious all experienced, but maybe haven’t examined until now. It’s comforting to hear that other people’s experiences were so similar. Great podcast overall!! 5/5

I’ve never felt so seen in this podcast. So important to unpack all of what we’ve been brought up with as children in the church, the good, the bad, the gaslighting, and the weird stuff. Cant recommend it enough to anyone and everyone who’ve experienced Christianity.

Wow
Thank you for doing this podcast. It is so brave and your journey just heartbreaking and hopeful. Can’t wait to have a long catch up soon Calvin!

Calvin and Justin are a delight

I grew up very Jewish - so my story looks different - but I identify so much with being forced to believe something truly awful and counterintuitive!!!! Thanks for shining a light on this subject. —Roxie

This is cool. And necessary. Real conversations that need to be had.

This podcast is a breath of clean air For those of us who went through a damaging “Christian” upbringing. Thank you for the catharsis...and for being so open in telling your personal stories.

Love listening to these two. They are funny together. I like how so much of what they say really resonates with my experiences. Keep up the good work kids.
Tracygood1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/29/21
This is a fantastic podcast that probably echoes the experiences of so many people and their past experiences. Icing on the cake - it handles some serious subject matter with a great sense of humor. I’ll definitely keep listening.

Straight cis-gendered male here. Also a fellow Christian Kid. I adore the honesty and candor with which the hosts share about their experiences! BTW: My heart leapt when Calvin mentioned Steven Universe in ep 6. My wife and I use that show to explain sexual preferences to our young son. Such good...Read full review »

Thank you awesome humans, this is awesome can’t wait for more. I was a Christian kid too and totally “the worst” too. 😍
I'm Super Cereal You Guys via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/10/21
Calvin and Justin do an excellent job of engaging their audience, making us laugh our heads off, and also discussing the hard issues of toxic religion in an honest and tactful way. Get ready to hear out loud what you have maybe been thinking at times if you grew up a “Christian kid”. These...Read full review »

Very important conversations happening here. Those who are deconverting really benefit from listening toJustin and Calvin and their terrific podcast.
Dan The Big Time Fan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/08/21
Really joyful and thought provoking. On a really important issue, they touch a deep nerve with anyone usurped by Christian extremism who cares about identity, wisdom and spirituality. Such a laugh too

Loved every episode so far. The Camp episode brought back so many memories of my times at church camp. Thanks for the entertainment! Love listening to you guys.

I came across this podcast on either IG or Twitter as a suggestion to follow. Since I was a Christian kid and have been out for 2 years I knew I had to “smash that subscribe button.” Justin and Calvin are thoughtful, funny, gracious hosts. Their content help me sort through my mixed feelings like...Read full review »

Didn’t know how badly I needed this. I’ll write in soon. Thanks guy <3
Somethingsareup via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/28/20
I went to elementary and high school with Justin so I’m slightly biased, but as someone who also was raised Christian against my will I soak up every minute of this podcast. Church camp was where the craziest stuff would go down all while our parents thought we were just worshipping god and...Read full review »

The Christian camp episode really brought some stuff up. Such great work by these guys. They’re also delightful Twitter follows. I’m excited to see where this shows goes.
DoctorWhat7u via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/22/20
As a former christian kid, this podcast got me hooked right away. It's a fantastic look to not just our past as indoctrinated children, our spiritual journey, but also about how it all still has its effects in our present. Very therapeutic I would say. (I'm 34 years old bi and left...Read full review »

I don’t know that I’ve ever been more excited about a podcast! Justin and Calvin are so genuine and lovable it will only take you one episode to fall in love with them. As someone who grew up in the church, conversations like these are healing in ways I can’t even describe. In addition to sharing...Read full review »

An honest, fair, and emotional look at the experience of growing up in a conservative Christian environment. There is humor, but more so, it is a therapeutic and cathartic discussion on experiences and thoughts of growing up thinking there was something wrong with you and coming to terms with...Read full review »

As someone who grew up queer in a religious household, listening to Justin and Calvin speak about their own experiences is honestly so healing for me. They speak with such a warmth and humor that invites the listener in, and allows me to help process my own experiences with religion at the same...Read full review »
