It’s Not Your Fault
In this episode we catch up on the latest. Earthquakes, corona and conference oh my! But for us, the most important topic discussed tonight is that our parents and family know that our faith transition is not their fault. All we need to do is be patient with each other and love so fiercely that…

Tackling the Priesthood Dilemma of Our (soon to be) 12-yr Old
After a several week hiatus (life happens….) we’re back. We discuss the beginning of the new year, new stuff that’s been happening with us, and also touch the dreaded topic of…..wait for it…..what happens with our son who’s turning 12???? DUN DUN DUN….. This milestone is a hard one to grasp as...

Allowing Ourselves to Feel It.
So...Ryan is flying solo tonight, with a (suggested by Brandi) impromptu moment of raw and open expression of the pain and loneliness he's feeling right now. We all too often avoid feeling the emotions associated with pain, fear, nervousness, anxiety, etc. And instead we replace it with things…

New Years Resolutions….blah
Totally being facetious by that title of course. But for some people, “goals” might be a trigger word. Triggering in the sense that expectations are sometimes tied to a persons sense of self-worth. And in relation to the church, it causes some to feel like they’ll never quite be enough and thus…

Brandi's Fears and Frustrations Come Full Force
Whoa....tonight Brandi kind of took over. But in a much needed, very vulnerable way. Her inner child was screaming it's time for me to feel all of this! We shed some tears most definitely tonight, but hope that someone can find some comfort in knowing they're not alone in where SHE's at also.

New Church Experience
Ryan went to church today!! This Sunday as a family, we experienced a new church, and in this episode we introduce our kiddos and asked each of them to share what they thought. Very different from the norm, and it was awesome to get new perspectives and new experience.

ThriveDay 2019 was amazing!!!
Went to ThriveDay this last Sunday and it was amazing!! Being in the midst of 1700 people that are in the same boat (on both believing and non-believing sides) was overwhelmingly awesome. We were able to laugh, cry and learn together. Ryan found healing through it and Brandi learned that support...

Grieving The Loss of Community
Tonight is heavy folks. Ryan's been struggling the last few days with some intense feelings of loneliness and grief. We discuss the importance of reaching out to those who are in AND those who are out. The silence from community and neighbors isn't something that is conducive to people feeling...

Supporting Each Other
Often times in a mixed faith journey, we can become so entrenched in our own beliefs, ways of thinking, and even mourning, that we often can forget where the other person might be in their own head and heart. This week, we discuss ways that we can focus our efforts and attention on how to support...

Here's To The Sticky Ones
So......kids...... They bring us joy, happiness and laughter, but cause our hair to go gray, throw our hands up and realize we have no control, and wonder what we've done wrong. Being facetious of course, but in all honesty, a faith crisis can become a very sticky and more rocky place to navigate...

An Important Piece to Our Puzzle
In this episode, we discuss a vital and yet very personal piece to our puzzle of where we are now, both me being out of the church, and Brandi being more nuanced than she previously was. This week and weekend were heavy for us for various reasons, but some of the issues brought up in conference…

Dispelling Misconceptions
Often times, people who lose their faith or enter a faith crisis are labeled as many things, mostly negative. The attitude that, "they're wanting to sin," or, "they were offended" is simply not true in most if not all cases. There are various reasons as to why someone leaves the church, and the...
