ExcommuniDate: Life & Love After Religion
Forming and maintaining relationships is hard, especially when religion is involved. But what happens when religion is no longer part of your equation? What if it still is for everyone else?
Join Jessa, an ex-Mormon who loves reality TV, and Austin, a non-practicing Presbyterian who lived in Utah longer than he should have, as they explore the ups and downs of dating post-religion. Whether you’re freshly excommunicated or well into your secular journey, this podcast is here to help you navigate love on your own terms.
We’re all about Connecting Hearts, Not Dogmas.
