About This Podcast

This is a podcast in which a married couple discuss leaving Christianity and what they've found instead. It primarily focuses on Darcy's experiences in the UPC (United Pentecostal Church). With an irreverent humor, they try to articulate a very difficult time in their lives, ones they are still unpacking - in front of an audience of podcast listeners. Hope this helps others as well.
