  • Mind ur beez wax
    Great podcast
    Kind people. Informative. Thanks guys!
  • twinkletor
    excellent ex-christian vibes 💥
    long time deconstructionist, first time listener. should not have to waited on this show y’all. going back to the beginning. the mcgee and me musical sting is so triggering 😂
  • Smissed
    So, We’re Best Friends Now?
    What a beautiful crew of human beings! I always relate to so many things discussed on this pod because of our shared evangelical experiences. Unpacking all of that with these guys makes me feel less alone, and I appreciate their honesty and vulnerability as they’re often reliving trauma in real time just to help the rest of us process the same things. Also, the amount of research Chaz does for each episode/series is astounding and I’ve learned so much more about topics I already thought I knew.
  • starrynights89
    Relateable
    I love your personal stories about growing up in the evangelical culture of the 80’s and 90’s. It’s a light in what was a very isolated place in my life and extremely relatable. My grandma was former Assemblies of God and she was a nut to me as a kid.
  • JAB2ginger
    Love it but grrr
    Listening to the 3rd Grade ep, and really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work. Except Superman is not boring. Batman and his “smarter than everyone always outsmarting everyone smartest tells others how to use their powers cuz he’s smartest smartest smartest” is boring.
  • TACO MANAGEMENT
    GOOD JOB!
    ITS MY DAD!!!! GO DAD!!!!
  • Mr.PatPatisAlive
    That guy that does the voices
    What a hoot! That dude is definitely mentally Ill. But the humor is probably part of that.
  • celestial85
    I don’t feel alone anymore
    Thank you all so much for what you do. I felt alone for so long because no one really knows all the nuance in the fundy religion I grew up in. The Carman episodes were some of my favorites as he was a household staple for us as kids.
  • Screwnut81
    So just found this podcast like 4 weeks ago.
    Upon finding this show I stumbled upon the Pat Robertson episodes. As I typed this review I just found out he is dead. Rejoice rejoice you godless sodomites! Thank you all for this amazing podcast it is helping me recover from this trauma. The dark humor really helps keep it going. Also, if you could give me a shoutout on the show by bringing up the group called the Church of Christ, I just exited this group and am feeling very isolated and would love to hear you alls thoughts on exiting and background on the church of Christ so other people can know they are not alone in this madness. Again thank you all!
  • cdjejeve
    Informative, Relatable, and Compassionate
    I miss so many people hadn’t been hurt by evangelical Christianity, but I’m glad people are talking and exposing it. Great writing, love the hosts, well worth listening!
  • Chazxcore
    Good stuff!
    Yeah, I’m giving my own podcast 5 stars!? People have done more for less.
  • Monk@y51
    God’s mercy is for all. We all need God’s Son. Not Carmen
    Sad for you that one day you will stand before the very one you mocked. what an opportunity to be able to share God’s love with the world but instead you chose too make fun the very one who wants you too become his child. Because you looked at man and not the one who made the man. The one who could set you free from anger that you have toward God. I am so thankful that it is not you that I would have to depend on for mercy. May you all find out God’s truth is not yours. Hearing you on your podcast at first I got angry than I had compassion. (Jesus is lord) whether we believe it or not! He will be here soon. We all have to repent! Jesus saved my soul when I was angry at him. It is definitely obvious. You are angry! Jesus can handle your anger. Romans 5:8
  • StayMad420
    Excellent content but…
    5 stars because I love any podcast pulling the curtain and revealing the “wizard”. But it’s a little difficult to listen to. There is one host who seems to write everything and the others just show up and read from it? I just don’t understand the dynamic because only one host consistently delivers actual content and the other 2 react. The impressions are okay if not cringey and I want to listen to the actual discussion but it doesn’t ever feel as deeply understood by all the hosts.
  • CantHaveNiceThings
    That Bastard James Dobson!
    Wow—this episode explained so much about my childhood. Thank you for helping me connect the dots and heal. You guys nail it every episode. Also your Pat Robertson impression kills me!
  • Quartz Face Killa'
    So nice to not feel alone!
    I knew from such a young age that the way I was raised was messed up beeeeyond. This podcast is so helpful for me to know I’m not alone in dealing with this! This podcast is like a true crime podcast for exvangelicals. The illumination of all the juicy details behind phenomena like DC Talk and Pat Robertson…it just scratches such an itch. Love it.
  • exworshipdancer
    Great for 80’s and 90’s kids
    I love this show and the hosts! My husband often questions the messages I got from my church growing up and it’s so nice to hear that I wasn’t the only one that heard the same messed up, shaming messages that I did. Very validating, informative and entertaining.
  • Tatersalad810
    Needs better sound engineering
    Trying to listen to the Abeka books episodes and two of the individuals are inconsistently louder than the host. I either hear them at a reasonable volume and the host is difficult to hear or the host is at a reasonable volume but the other folks are at an earsplitting volume. The subjects are very interesting and I think it’s important to disinfect them with exposure but the sound production is very difficult to handle.
  • LoveFossil's Scientist
    I’m not alone
    Sometimes I wonder if I imagined all the crazy, scary, culty stuff I grew up with, but this podcast, and the exvangelical community as a whole help me see through some of the gaslighting from my childhood and start to heal
  • anwindom
    Great exvie podcast!
    These three get it! They do a fantastic job explaining the weird culture of fundamentalist evangelicalism. And why so many of us left.
  • mr.sadman
    Better than going to church
    If there is any kind of god out there, she is very proud of this podcast. So do yourself a favor, skip church this week and go listen to the Excommunication Station instead!!!
  • 456Anon
    Funny and insightful
    Please keep it up, it just gets better and better.
  • dwarfbeard74
    A Very Good Start
    I can see the seed of a very enjoyable podcast planted here. All the hosts have good points and defend them well, in a series of thoughtful discussions, not just hot takes and buzz words. A very good first episode and I’m looking forward to more.
