“Really? 🙄
As a Christian not represented by anti-LGBTQ Christian fascists, I request that you re-title your most recent episode from “Why Are Christians So Bad With Queer People” to “Why Are Some Christians…””

“Loved the first episode about the Chosen. Have many people in my life wanting me to watch that and probably get me saved again. I am always intrigued about movies and documentaries about Jesus but growing up in a fundamental charismatic church I am very hesitant to spend my time watching them...”Read full review »

“Why would you put something in the title of an episode if it’s only on Patreon. Something about that is so fundamentally wrong. I just listened to a whole ep to hear your thoughts on hunberman and its no even in the episode. Also. The game at the start for the first 7 minutes was torture to...”Read full review »

“Of all the deconstructionist podcasts I listen to, this one is the best. Dan has a thoughtful and wide-ranging choice of guests and topics and he is a gifted and compassionate host and interviewer. This podcast has really helped me in my deconstruction journey.”

“I love this show, would give it more than 5 stars if I could! Thank you Dan for opening the door to conversations and thoughts that I needed to hear to make me own journey of de-constructing my Assemblies of God upbringing and re-constructing my own faith.
That said, stop conflating people who...”Read full review »

“I have listened to a large number of deconstruction/ exvangelical podcasts, and I find that this one tends to have a significant amount of research done before the dialogue, which is helpful because it means that the conversations will generally be constructive instead of simply bashing. Dan does...”Read full review »

“Really loved a lot of the episodes and it helped me through my journey with my faith. The reason I can’t listen anymore is because the polyamory episode lacked a lot of productive ways to speak about the conversation and topic. There wasn’t anyone on there to interview who was polyamorous and...”Read full review »
