ExcommuniDate: Life & Love After Religion
Dating is messy. Leaving religion makes it messier. If you’re ex-Mormon, exvangelical, ex-Jehovah’s Witness, ex-Catholic, ex-Jewish—or just someone dating after faith—we’re here for you.
Join Jessa (ex-Mormon and reality TV addict) and Austin (former Presbyterian and Utah survivor) as they dive into the hilarious, heartbreaking, and healing journey of dating after religion. From purity culture baggage to mismatched values, they explore what it means to form real connections when belief systems no longer match.
Whether you're newly deconstructed or long-time secular, this is your space for honest conversations, awkward stories, and real talk about love, identity, and freedom.

ExcommuniDate: Life & Love After Religion
5. Gay, Not Bi, and Bye Bye Mormonism
What happens when your faith and sexuality collide? In this powerful episode, Jordan shares his journey of embracing his queer identity while navigating a high-demand Mormon upbringing. Discover how he grappled with a mixed-orientation marriage, confronted religious expectations, and ultimately chose authenticity over doctrine. From the suffocating closet of secrecy to the liberating process of leaving the LDS Church, Jordon’s story is a raw exploration of self-acceptance, resilience, and rewriting life’s script.
Join us at the intersection of sect and sexuality as we unpack the challenges of unlearning religious conditioning, reclaiming authenticity, and finding the courage to say goodbye to a belief system that no longer fits. If you've ever wrestled with faith, identity, or the fear of starting over, this episode is for you.
