Cass Midgley and Mark Stephens interview 2 students from Vanderbilt University, Stephen Lee and John Roso. They met through the Secular Student Alliance. Bob was out of town for this one so Mark Stephens is filling in.
Also, we open with a 20
minute talk with Gayle Jordan, the executive director of Recovering
From Religion, an online resource for people wrestling with their
faith and wanting someone to talk to. They have a helpline and chat
opportunities and a wealth of resources to point callers to. They
help from a neutral position, not trying to influence callers
toward any particular belief or unbelief, just be active
listeners.
Followed by our talk
with two Vanderbilt seniors who just graduated this last weekend
and who I met through the Secular Student Alliance there on campus.
John is a Philosophy major going on to a Masters in it. Stephen is
a BioMed Engineering Major. They are roommates and we get to peer
into the life of two millennials, both age 21, and their personal
histories with Christianity and their journey out of it. And we
discuss the collective consciousness of ants.
We taped these conversations on April 15th, 2017. We interview people you don’t know, about a subject no one wants to talk about. We hope to encourage people in the process of deconstructing their faith and help curb the loneliness that accompanies it. We think the world is a better place when more people live by sight, not by faith. Please subscribe to our podcast, and leave a review wherever you listen to podcasts.
