Happy Lost Souls - Interviews with the Ex-Religious

In this episode, Christian and Lianne make due with Joe while he recovers from a "honeymoon injury". It's three interviews with ex-religious folks who have some beautiful, uplifting stories about their experiences leaving religion.
Spoiler Alert: They get kinda fucked up because... "something something" the church sucks.

Also in this episode:

• Is hockey the church we all need?
• Was it super cool to be a Nurse Practitioner during COVID? 
• Is the most fucked up teaching in the church the lesson you teach yourself?
• How did Joe actually injure himself on the most romantic day of his life?
• Which sex position should he have tried instead? 

Questions we asked our interviewees:

1. When/why did you leave the church?
2. What do you miss most?
3. What have you gained since leaving?
4. What is the most batshit sermon/teaching you remember?
5. Is there a piece of religious media you still look on fondly?
