Oh, You Too

Religion EN ↓ 12 episodes

Have you ever felt like an outsider in your own faith? Join John and Eric as they navigate the messy, beautiful process of deconstructing and rebuilding faith in real-time. We believe the real Jesus was defined by radical, boundary-breaking inclusivity, and we’re trying our best to follow that lead. From 90s "Purity Culture" hangovers to the complexities of the modern Church, we’re here to remind you that questions aren't the enemy. We are trading narrow certainty for a community where you belong.
