Summary

A spiritual sequel of sorts to episode #330 on youth pastors, I’m joined by Casey and Sam from the Growing Up Christian Podcast to explore their experiences as ex-vangelicals and the evolution of their faith and show. They discuss the origins of their podcast, the role of humor in navigating serious topics, and the impact of community on their personal beliefs. The conversation delves into the complexities of identity, the challenges faced by the “faith deconstruction” community, and the importance of perspective in understanding their past.

0:31.3

This is part of a little episode swap we did.

0:35.2

So we just recorded one for the growing up Christian feed,

0:39.2

where I was in the hot seat and I've got you guys in the hot seat for my show. And I'll just say,

fifth episode taping in two days. That's nuts, dude. We struggle to do one a week sometimes.

1:05.2

Well, I know, but what I've been doing during this internship is I've been taking my vacation

1:09.2

days and then doing two or three episodes a day on them. I haven't really had a proper vacation all year. That's just what it's

1:16.1

taken for this one year and it's almost over and I can't wait. But so I pack them in and that's fine,

1:21.7
