"The Casual Scholars" is a new podcast brought to you by the creator of "Growing Up Fundie," featuring interesting people who know a lot about interesting things.
In this sneak peek of Episode 1:
Adam Hinkle is a Chicago-based actor and filmmaker. He grew up on the east coast, primarily in the Philadelphia suburbs and attended college in Pittsburgh, PA, but relocated to Chicago in 2007 to pursue theatre and film.
Since then, he has appeared Off-Broadway and with various storefront theatre companies in Chicago, with a focus on television and film within the past several years.
He made his directing debut with 'The Park,’ a dramatic web series chronicling the trials and tribulations of a fictional group of outreach workers urgently trying to prevent gun and gang violence in a Chicago neighborhood.
This project took five years to complete and had a successful festival run, garnering several awards in the process. He also made his television debut on 'Chicago Fire,’ and his feature film debut in the horror-slasher "Haunt Season' that was released this past October.

Poulomi Saha is an Associate Professor & Co-Director of the Program in Critical Theory at UC Berkeley.
They lead a popular course called “Cults and Popular Culture,” which examines, among other things, the idea of naming something a cult, and the reasons human beings are so obsessed with them.
In an interview with Berkeley News, Saha discussed why it’s important to teach students, especially at a top research university like Berkeley, to look past the label and dig deeper: What was the original intention of a particular organization later labeled a cult? What did it offer? What were its practices? Who joined and why? What does it tell us about spirituality and culture in America?
“What makes a cult different from a religion or a sect, and why the word cult so often produces revulsion or compulsion. I am not interested in diagnosing cults, but rather in understanding how groups and beliefs come to take on that name, and all the feelings and reactions that come with it.”
Poulomi Saha, “Why Are We So Obsessed with Cults” Poulomi Saha on "Why Are We So Obsessed with Cults?"

Kelley Laughlin was raised Lutheran until the age of 14, when he first began questioning what he was being told. He continued to read, research, and search for the truth until joining the military both literally and figuratively put the Bible back into his hands.
Once out of the military, years of drugs and homelessness threatened his path until fatherhood awakened his curiosities, and helped him recognize the importance of his path, and the future of his family.

Spiritually speaking, Lynn was raised as a devout Catholic, before her family later transitioned into a more Charismatic-leaning Christian church.
As an adult, however, Lynn realized that (despite her actions and intentions growing up) she has actually been a non-believer for over 20 years. She has also been bi-sexual as well.
Lynn is currently a lawyer-turned-freelance-editor who edits books, articles, screenplays, and everything in between. She is also a writer, and recently published a Bible fan fiction novel called “The Prophet Steven.”

Lindsey grew up in a religious family that devoutly followed the now-infamous IBLP IBLP organization, or “The Institute in Basic Life Principles.”
Made infamous by documentaries like “Shiny Happy People,” on Amazon Prime (which Lindsey was also featured in), this church was lead by Bill Gothard, a man who somehow convinced, and still convinces, people across the world to live by rules and values he somehow didn’t have to follow himself.
In this episode, Lindsey tells us, in detail, her experience being one of the chosen “Gothard Girls,” and how spending time with Bill Gothard one-on-one shaped her young mind, and lead her to the crusade she now leads to spread awareness of his terrible legacy, and destroy the facade of “goodness” and “holiness” he managed to create.

Darante’ Lamar was once the most devoutly religious person in his family.
After finding God, and dedicating his life to being a pastor, he started to realize that even the people at the top of the food chain (who he considered to be mentors himself), still didn’t have all the answers. In fact, they didn’t appear to have very many answers at all.
In his desire to seek guidance and reasoning, he began to uncover things he quickly understood he’d never be able to unsee. He also recognized that his entire life would likely never be the same again.

148 Brett M. considers himself a free-thinking Christian.
He recognizes that in order to hang his hat on a belief system, and claim that he wants to follow a specific faith or religion, he has to feel as though he’s done as much research as he possibly can in order to feel comfortable calling himself a Christian.
In this episode, Brett describes this experience, and how his thoughts and opinions are received by both atheists and Christians alike.

Danny B. was enrolled in Christian school until the 1st grade, after which he became homeschooled all the way through high school. Throughout this time, Danny was raised to believe that things like bad math skills, and being bullied at church camp, could only be resolved through prayer.
After a tumultuous childhood involving accusations of demonic possession, food being withheld as punishment, and other symptoms of a high-control environment, Danny realized that figuring out who he was outside of religion and control depended on him, and seeking help from outside sources to unravel his past, and pave the way for his future.

Kyle Lett attended a Baptist church with his Grandmother until the age of 12, when his father and stepmother decided he needed to attend a Pentecostal church with them.
After years of involving himself in the ministry, Kyle began to recognize that he wasn’t sure he truly agreed with everything he was helping preach, or even believed it himself.
Now an “agnostic who still sometimes struggles with the idea of an afterlife,” Kyle shares his thoughts and feelings on coming to your own conclusions, trusting your gut, and questioning everything you’re told.

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.

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.

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.
Find out more about the Conversation Coalition on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and (if you live in Tennessee) in person!

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.

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.

1Ring is a content creator who live-streams on YouTube in the atheist/deconstruction space.
However, that wasn’t always who they were.
When Ring was a child, they were raised within a strict Foursquare household.
As they put it: “Foursquare is very much Pentecostal lite (same great flavor now with zero snake bites).”
1Ring remained active in their church until they joined the US military, where they also came to recognize themselves as a trans/enby individual.
In their story, Ring tells us about “counseling” exorcisms, and the thoughts that lead them to becoming the person they are today.

Nathan is a talented Jazz musician, veteran of the Army National Guard, and a former member of the Assemblies of God Evangelical Church.
After being raised with strict rules related to dating, worship, socialization, and morality, Nathan began to question what he was being told in sermons, vs what he began to see, and the people he began to meet in the "real" world.
Through the lens of a person who knows they can't undo the past, and can only move forward from here, Nathan shares his story on personal growth, and how he's accepted his past as a learning lesson that he can use to brighten his future.

On Episode 122 of Growing Up Fundie:
Former Guest, Natalie (from episode 85) believes in God, but doesn’t identify as a Christian. Throughout her life and spiritual journey, she’s thought about questions she would ask members of Christian leadership if ever given the chance.
On Growing Up Fundie, she’s been given her chance!
**Natalie takes over as host for the evening as she is joined by a panel composed of Scot (from multiple prior episodes) and GUF newcomers Hannah, and Jessie.
These three panelists are current and former members of leadership within their churches who volunteered their time and experiences to help us get some of the answers Natalie seeks. As she poses questions, they provide their thoughts and opinions, as well as scripture and other resources that they feel best represents the points they are trying to make.

She grew up in a very small Southern Baptist church and later on came to find herself in a leadership position at the Baptist Collegiate Ministry at the University of Arkansas at Monticello. Since leaving college, while she believes in God, she has been questioning what Christianity actually is, and whether we’re even doing it right at all.

Playwright (and long time friend) Chase Wheaton-Werle spent three years researching just who, exactly, the famed 'Three Wise Men' from the Nativity story were.
Why do we not see them again in the Bible?
What was their interest in the birth of the infant Jesus?
How do we use them as such common Nativity Christmas decorations, without even knowing their names, or their origin stories?
Through his deep-dive into the identity of these men, Chase wrote his new stage comedy "Wise Guys," debuting at The Factory Theater in Chicago.
Check out Chase's episode on all platforms, and then check out his play via the ticket links below.

Tobin Templeman grew up in a family where religion reigned supreme… and varied depending on whose house he was visiting. With such a wide variety of belief systems being introduced to him as the one “true” religion, Tobin eventually found himself questioning the validity of all of them.
Through his journey in self-discovery, his live music career, and his life-changing experiences in secular therapy, Tobin has since dedicated his life to proving to other people that you don’t need a religion to tell you who you are, or what you’re worth.
Check out his delightful interview on Episode 116 of Growing Up Fundie, and then give his channel a listen to help us determine what genre of music his is considered.

Graham Buck once devoted his career aspirations to being a member of leadership in his Evangelical faith. After spending decades of his life leading worship services, hosting bible studies, and even attending a conservative Presbyterian seminary after college, Graham began to recognize thoughts and feelings within himself that he eventually couldn’t ignore.
With a resume, marriage, and professional resume all founded upon his devout faith, he had to face the possibility that his years of devotion to God might not be a path he was meant to continue following.
**In Episode 115, Graham takes us on his complicated journey of discovering himself, along with the ramifications that might come hand-in-hand with his discoveries.
NOTE FROM SYDNEY: Graham is also the most patient human being on this planet. We originally recorded his episode in July of 2023. However, I am a butthead and, due to a series of ridiculously-timed circumstances, took forever to get his episode posted. Thank you, Graham, for being so cool about it, and not putting a pox on my household.**

Rodney, the host of @TMMYT89 (Tell Me More) launched his channel only a month ago, with his first guest being Aron Ra. With such a major guest right out of the gate, Rodney proves himself to be nothing less than a self-starter with a penchant for learning, growing, and discovering.
That being said, Rodney didn't always feel that way.
In the beginning, he was a young teen trying to find his purpose in this world, whose first introduction to his "purpose" was through the evangelical church.
Join me for episode 113, where Rodney shares his amazing journey from bible college, to a YouTube channel in search of the truth.

Alie knew at a young age that her experiences within the Catholic church were different than most of her peers. While they were being taught that they had certain expectations, and should think or believe a certain way in order to be the ideal follower of Christ, her family allowed her to explore her creative side and break the mold.
As an adult, Alie continues to push herself to express her thoughts and opinions freely, living the life she feels driven to live, instead of one she’s expected to via scripture, or societal pressure.

If you’re a fan of wild rides, strap in for episode 110 featuring Drew Scharfenberg.
Drew was raised within the Evangelical Christian church by formerly-Catholic parents who gravitated towards the conservative ideas encouraged by the Southern Baptist Convention, and the churches that associate with it.
From a young age, Drew began to question many of the messages he was receiving from the pulpit, as well as the lack of diversity in the congregations he was often involved in.
Through a combination of personal curiosity, his love of research, and his introduction to higher education, Drew has now learned to question everything, pursue the truth, and welcome the changes that he anticipates he’ll experience as he learns and grows into the person he was meant to be.

If someone were to try and describe everything that Ember is, has done, and has experienced in any way, I think the best they could possibly do is to describe Ember as…well… Ember!
In this livestreamed interview, we get to know Ember through:
- The various (and WILD) jobs they’ve had throughout their storied life.
- Their journey to discovering, and later revealing themselves publicly, as a nonbinary person
- Their work and activism for members of the LGBTQ community
- The impact parenthood has had on their beliefs and ideas – and so much more.
As one commenter stated in the livestream chat:
“This is my favorite and most revealing interview with Ember I have ever seen.”

*Wishing an impactful Rosh Hashanah to my Jewish Fundie Friends out there!
For those of you who aren't familiar, Rosh Hashanah commemorates the creation of the world, and marks the beginning of the 'Days of Awe,' a 10-day period of introspection & repentance that culminates in the Yom Kippur holiday, also known as the Day of Atonement (this specific definition comes from the History Channel).
Thank you for supporting the show and my channel!

Cynane Shay is an engineer who was raised in an Evangelical community in Florida.
While her friends spent their summers involved in IBLP all-girls camps, she tackled the duality between studying in a college STEM program, while maintaining her conservative religious beliefs.
It wasn’t until the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 that she realized cults, conspiracy theories, and social/political unrest would tear apart the relationships she thought she would have with people for the rest of her life.
Trigger warnings for:
- QAnon
- child trafficking
- deep web conspiracies
- cults
- manipulation
- brainwashing
- and Obama apparently being a Secret Muslim from Africa & King of the US

Steven Phelps spent over 20 years of his life as a musician and entertainer, with many of those years including a role as a music and choir leader in a Baptist Church in Tennessee.
After deconstructing from Christianity in 2023, Steven put his musical skills to work in the name of secularism instead, creating his YouTube channel, the Upbeat Atheist, and joining the board of Sunday Assembly Nashville, a secular service meant to recreate the community and familial feeling often associated with church, while removing the religious customs.
Steven is now retired, and shares his story with us on episode 104 of Growing Up Fundie.

Cortney Warner is a standup comedian living in Nashville, Tennessee, who produces shows in famed venues like Blue Room Nashville at Third Man Records.
However, standup comedy wasn’t always Cortney’s focus. Growing up as an adopted member of a Christian family, Cortney was homeschooled - with the majority of her social interactions occurring in Church.
After graduating high school early, and moving to Nashville after college to pursue a career in Christian music, Cortney quickly learned that the faith wasn’t necessarily where she belonged, but that comedy just might be…

**However, before that, Jon was raised in a somewhat moderate home that balanced religion and secularity. In his late teens, he was introduced to the Evangelical Christian church through his then girlfriend, and later wife, where he attempted to live the devoutly religious lifestyle.
He soon realized through his medical studies that so much of what he was being told in church didn’t line up with what he was learning in school.**
In this episode, Jon describes his journey, both literal and figurative, through deconstruction, medicine, and marriage, as he spent the first 40 years of his life discovering who he really is, and what he truly believes.Evolution and Christianity (his main site): www.truthfulorigins.info

Happy Labor Day for those of you listening in the United States!
(Happy regular Monday, September 4th for the rest of you. I hope it's still a fabulous one.)
This episode is audio from a YouTube livestream that originally appeared on Sunday, August 20th 2023 @ 5:30pm CST.
Brently is a YouTube content creator whose channel consists of humorous reaction videos, roasting terrible internet content, guest interviews, and more!
Child, he was raised (and homeschooled) in an Evangelical Christian church, until the unfortunate perpetuation of rumors and assumptions forced him into exile, where he fell into a life of substance abuse and homelessness.

Godless Granny spent the first several decades of her life as a devout Evangelical Christian mother and wife, who dabbled in denominations spanning from Free Church Evangelicalism to Calvinism.
When her youngest child was a teenager, he confronted her with a simple fact she couldn’t ignore.
In that moment, her life took a drastic turn, and she’s never looked back since.
GG has quickly become one of my favorite people to talk to, and having the chance to hear her amazing, powerful, shocking, tragic, and hope-giving story in her own words was a gift. It’s not often you meet someone who you can call your kindred spirit, but after finding out how many things the two of us have in common, I can’t think of a more fitting title.

When author Natalie Latzka first began questioning her Catholic faith, she asked herself four questions:
- Does God even exist?
- If so, who is God?
- What message/information (if any) has God provided?
- What the heck does God want from me?
For the next ten years, she began researching, questioning, and digging, before coming to the conclusion that, ”in many cases, the Christian religion not only fails to prioritize personal relationship with God (though some claim to), but they also do not equip believers to find it.”
In this episode, Natalie wants to share the tools she realized she needed in order to equip herself with the personal relationship with God that she now experiences every day.
Natalie is the author of: “Navigating True North: My Journey from Blind Faith to Bold Faith"

"Dean" grew up in non-denominational Churches that sometimes identified as Fundamentalist. At a young age, he started to realize that the things he was being taught about young earth creationism, the LGBTQ community, and biblical literalism might not be what he believed after all.
Now a practicing Buddhist, Dean encourages everyone to explore your own personal beliefs, getting a second opinion on the "truth," and understanding that there is more to life than hiding who you really are.

*TRIGGER WARNING: BIRD SOUNDS*
And I AM SORRY OK. We had a new rescue set of birds we received at the very last moment, and didn’t even have a cage for them yet. They also couldn’t stay with our birds until they were confirmed healthy, so they had to live in the office that day. Now they have a flight cage and will NEVER INTERRUPT ANOTHER INTERVIEW AGAIN I SWEAR. (although if you like them they also appear on my interview with Neil the 604 Atheist).
Thank you to Kat for being super cool about it.

When Andy Talbot was four years old, his stepfather moved him, his mother, and his half-sister to a rural plot of land in Alaska where he built their cabin by hand, isolated them from anyone living within the nearby countryside, and indoctrinated them into Ellen White’s 7th Day Adventist religious teachings.
This is his story.

In this episode, my high school friend (and Opera singer) Mariah Wilcox, and her fiancé Idalia Salazar, share their stories about coming into their own sexual identities, while being raised within the church. Coming out as gay, while also coming out as non-religious, and the way these experiences have shaped them into who they are today.

http://richarddawkins.net - On the 30th of September 2007, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens sat down for a first-of-its-kind, unmoderated 2-hour discussion, convened by RDFRS and filmed by Josh Timonen.
All four authors have recently received a large amount of media attention for their writings against religion - some positive, and some negative. In this conversation the group trades stories of the public's reaction to their recent books, their unexpected successes, criticisms and common misrepresentations. They discuss the tough questions about religion that face the world today, and propose new strategies for going forward.

In this episode, Ivy details her upbringing within the church, the influences (both positive and negative) the faith had on her life, and how she bridges the gap between the way she was raised, and her current career as a romance novelist and BDSM community member.
