IT’S THE LAST EPISODE OF SEASON 1! How very fitting to end the season with my guest JR, who’s a good buddy from my old small group Bible study at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in NYC. Coincidentally, we both left Christianity around 2007… without realizing the other was on his way out. Satan works in mysterious ways? Anyway, grab a drink, make yours…

A very special episode today with guests Ben & Diana from Your Friends Podcast. By the grace of God (or lack thereof), they managed to escape the Mormon religion. Today we discuss their escape and also what motivates us, married life vs single life, free speech & censorship, childhood indoctrination, and more. Other recommended listening… The most …

Today's guest is my new friend Mike… a fellow son of a preacher man… although even MORE intense, he’s also the son of a preacher woman. Yep, hardcore. After chatting about his upbringing, we get into a plethora of topics, including what effective religion would look like, the validity of the Bible, this whole “Christianity is not a religion, it’s a…

Today's guest is my cousin-in-law Praveen. Although we grew up on opposite sides of the planet (me mostly in America and him in India) and having never even connected until the last few years, I'm amazed at how simpatico we are in terms of religion, politics, work ethic, society, etc. Through our life experiences we've found ourselves neither here …

SEX SEX SEX! Now that I've got your attention, just wanted to let you know that in today's episode we talk about sex. ;) My guest today is Twanna Hines (of funkybrownchick.com). She's a sex & relationships educator and entrepreneur... as well as a writer, performer, and a lot of other things. She's got an upcoming one-woman show at the 2019 Capital…

Today is our first *Christian* guest… Brian, a good friend of mine from high school days in Germany. The interesting twist in our friendship is that back in high school he was not religious at all whereas I of course was quite steeped in Christianity. But for the past 12 years or so… HE’S the Christian and I am the apostate. Today you’ll get to hea…

In today’s episode, I interview my Australian friend Maree, who’s basically always been an atheist. We discuss the benefits of growing up withOUT religion, as well as other topics including critical thinking, identity vs ideas, health & beauty standards, religious views & public policy, the allure of religion, and what happens after we die. --- Sup…

In this episode I interview my sister -- a fellow 1st-generation Indian American preacher's kid / Army brat (not many of that combo on the planet, and certainly not in the 1980s!) We discuss what it was like growing up as Christians in the military and how our experiences have shaped our belief systems and lifestyle choices. Uncensored, raw... trut…

Welcome to Episode 2 of the Confusianity podcast! In this episode, I interviewed my friend Damian. We start with a brief chat about his Catholic upbringing in Jamaica, and then take the conversation elsewhere… delving into several topics including free will, herd mentality, social media, politics, consciousness, and ultimately… the meaning of life …

Welcome to the FIRST episode of the Confusianity podcast. In this inaugural episode, we (2 preacher's kids) share our deconversion stories... how and why we left Christianity. It is no small feat to leave religion, which is often why religious people never actually make that leap of NONfaith. Even though things don’t feel quite right, we tend to st…

Confusianity 1:1 "In the beginning... there was a podcast trailer." Welcome, my friends, to the Confusianity podcast. This is where it all begins. In this introductory episode, I explain what the Confusianity podcast will entail and I also briefly share my backstory of leaving Christianity, which of course led to the founding of Confusianity. Regar…
