  • Cliff aka Asura the Atheist is a humanist, atheist, and content creator who faces difficult topics and conversations head-on. Through Tiktok stitches and duets, Cliff promotes critical thinking and empathy to his audience, whether they’re there because they agree, or they’re there to call him a “pick-me.”

    In this episode (part 2 of 2), we find out more about Asura the Atheist himself, and how he found himself engaging in the online atheist space, while also married to a believer.

    In part 1, Episode 144, Cliff addresses the “Man or Bear” controversy that is taking over social media, and highlighting the importance of listening to and understanding messages that we might otherwise feel attacked by.

    Rich grew up in a Baptist household in California.

    Despite his devout upbringing, and attending church multiple times each week, he began to see the cracks in the lessons being taught by the church, vs the choices they were showing him through their actions.

    After specific events that caused even his parents to finally leave their congregation, he realized he not only didn’t want to go to church anymore, but he wasn’t even sure he believed in the teachings of the bible.

    In this episode, Rich walks us through his deconstruction journey, and what he has experienced in the years since finally identifying as an “atheist.”

  • At one time, James Aames led worship at a megachurch, held Bible studies, gave sermons, witnessed on the streets, went on mission trips, and never missed his daily devotional regimen. He walked the walk and talked the talk. But forcing his faith didn’t work for him, and he was soon miserable.

    At 33 years old, he finally called it quits.

    Since then he’s been writing, reading, thinking, and healing.

    In an effort to right the wrongs he feels that he’s done to so many people through his ministries, he’s written "How to Become a non-Christian,” a book that provides instructions for how to leave your faith.

  • John Verner used to be a member of what he calls 'the largest cult in the United States.'

    However, after studying the Bible, ministry, and Christian history at Moody Bible Institute, he set his sights on confronting the problematic nature of white evangelicalism in the United States.

    John is now a writer, reporter, and podcaster whose book (and podcast of the same name) “The Cult of Christianity” aims to provoke critical thinking, and unravel conventional narratives.

    Hunter wasn't always a member of the Eastern Orthodox church. In fact, he was quite the opposite! However, as a young religious pre-teen, Hunter found himself looking for a place of worship that he felt was more serious, and less of the concerts he felt modern Non Denominational churches had become.

    In this episode, Hunter shares with us how he went from considering life in a monestary, to being an active and outspoken atheist on platforms all across the internet.

    Dr. Jennifer Bird joins us to discuss the most important aspects involved in unpacking what the Bible says, vs. what the Bible actually says.

    In her book "Permission Granted, Take the Bible into Your Own Hands," she encourages people of faith to explore the texts on their own, freed from long-held myths and misconceptions; experience the Bible anew; and appreciate this holy book for what it is, not what we think it should be.

    Dr. Bird has taught in New Jersey, Texas, Tennessee, North Carolina, Oregon and Virginia. Her varied background within:

    the United Methodist Church, education in a Presbyterian affiliated institution, time spent in several ministerial contexts, six years of graduate work in biblical studies, and more than 20 years of teaching in classrooms of all kinds inform her approach to having quite honest, and sometimes difficult, conversations about what is actually to be found in the scriptures of the Christian Bible.

    Find out more on her website:

  • Stacie and Dee are a mother-daughter duo who co-host the podcast/YouTube Channel “Stacie’s Mom Podcast."

    However, before they became deconstruction and atheist-centric content creators, they were both members of the Pentecostal church in Canada.

    While they both led separate journeys through deconstruction, it wasn’t until Stacie finally confessed how she felt to Dee that she learned Dee had been quietly experiencing the same thoughts and feelings for several decades.

    In this episode, Dee and Stacie both describe their separate deconstruction journeys, and how their mother-daughter bond never wavered, but found an entirely new reason to bring them even closer together.

  • Aaron Yost identifies as a member of the Reformed faith, who often align themselves with Calvinistic beliefs.

    According to Encyclopedia Brittannica:

    (The Reform Church) sees the Bible as the only source of truth, and they accept two sacraments—baptism and Communion, or the Lord's Supper. Along with other Protestants the Reformed churches also believe that people are saved by having faith in God, not because of anything they do. The Reformed churches also believe in predestination.

    Predestination is the idea that God decided before you were even born whether or not you were going to heaven, or going to hell.

    In this episode, Aaron shares his thoughts on God, his faith, his predestined future, and what it means to accept the sovereignty of God.

    Aaron is a member of the Conversation Coalition, a team of four Christians and Four Atheists who have live (and free-to-attend) discussions over important and often polarizing topics related to faith and the Bible.

  • Gary Parker spent decades of his life devoted to his faith, and to his relationship with God.

    However, as recently as three years ago, Gary started to recognize that the things he'd been taught his entire life didn't make sense, and the nagging questions he'd felt in the back of his mind showed no signs of going away any time soon.

    In episode 132, Gary shares with us what it's like to have the foundation of your entire life as you know it, built upon a system of beliefs you no longer hold.

  • Tim Christiansen was born and raised Catholic, and still identifies as one today.

    However, believing in God doesn’t mean someone won’t have doubts, or questions. In Episode 131, Tim shares with us some of the things he agrees with, and disagrees with, when it comes to morality and the Catholic faith.

    Anna Beahm is a writer and journalist for Reckon (news/media), who spent the first two decades of her life steeped in conservative Evangelical Christianity. After marrying a member of ministry in the church, she began to realize she wasn’t cut out to be the stereotypical pastor’s wife.

    Since then, she’s made it her mission to educate herself and her audience on the importance of seeking the truth, finding accurate information, doing your own research, and trusting your gut when something doesn’t seem right.
