Leslie is truly led by the Spirit of Light and Empathy towards all. This genuine hunger to understand, embrace and love all is reflected in her interviews, her truth and the light she warmly gives to all her interviewees and listeners alike. Thank you for the gift, thank you for the wisdom and thank you for not believing in American mainstream Jesus and having the courage to search for and truly be the hands and feet of our real Jesus of Nazareth and bringer of salvation from darkness.

I’ve just learned about the idea of deconstruction, and going through this process is like going into a dark room, Leslie has shown me others in this journey who I can relate to and learn from

These interviews help me understand evangelicals, American Jesus and American politics. A great topic to unearth. Very Interesting conversations!! Well done!

Leslie's interviews have given me such comfort through my own deconstruction journey! It makes you feel like you are not alone!

Pierce Marks interview was great. God is love. Life-changing. An excellent message for all of us deconstructing and reconstructing. Leslie is so gracious. Recent interviews with Mason Mennenga (A People’s Theology) and Gary Alan Taylor (Holy Heretics) really resonated with me as a deconstructing former conservative evangelical who loves the true God—Abba Father, Beloved Jesus, Precious Holy Spirit. Thank you, Leslie!

I didn’t even know about the label of destruction… yet totally makes sense. I’ve enjoyed all the insights and have had some ‘light bulbs’ moments. Keep listening to others!

I stumbled upon this podcast and I am so thankful I did! My husband and I have been deconstructing for several years after being in ministry most our lives. It’s been a sad and frustrating journey and we’ve felt alone in it. But we’ve found this wonderful safe space to hear and reflect and relate to others that are going through the same. I am so thankful for Leslie’s courage and wisdom to create this place for all of us to come to and share our stories.

Leslie is able to hold space for others in a way that allows deep wisdom and insight to be shared from various perspectives. It’s a breath of fresh air!

This has become my favorite podcast! Leslie is a fantastic host and brings out the best in her guests. I listen every chance I get!!

I’ve listened to every one of Leslie’s podcasts (so far), and have found someone who “speaks my language” when it comes to how she shares her insights and wisdom. Leslie truly does Honor the Journey of whoever is a guest on her podcast and I truly enjoy listening to the variety of guests. She is a master interviewer and really makes her guests feel comfortable in that you feel like you are listening to a conversation between friends. Thanks, Leslie!!

I’m delighted to have discovered another deconstruction podcast with a magnificent host (Leslie), who is opening the door to some insightful and transformative stories. The guests are both knowledgeable and deeply familiar with the process and pain of deconstruction after devoting their lives to religion. This is a listening space for healing and community - during or after the deconstruction storm. If you are still religious, this is the place to infuse more understanding and compassion for those with religious wounds and trauma. This is not a paid or solicited review! From the heart, XO Andrea @cheydrea

I love hearing everyone’s story. It’s so healing and helpful! The conversations are thoughtful and full of compassion. Great guests & wonderful host!!

I know you all are on the right track. I’ve been praying for some sort of breakthrough. Some sort of healing and freedom with religion. I feel like the Lord is smiling down saying “Tori.. just listen to them”.

I found your podcast through a group I’m in with one of you. I’m beyond grateful that I found it and listened. I’m honored to be able to be a part of your Facebook community and enjoy your Facebook lives. Looking forward to the new episodes!
