In this episode, Echo and Raven talk about the relationship and difference between biological sex and gender, the ways that a religious upbringing can influence how we see these things, and some ideas about how you can start to open your mind to a better understanding and acceptance of the ways in which our cultural perception of them is shifting. Just because you were taught to be critical of anything outside the "norm" does not mean you must stay that way. We hope this will serve as an introduction to thinking outside the small box of religious thinking of your past, and make you more comfortable thinking about things that were once unthinkable. Join us is saying, to those who demand gender conformity and pointless societal norms: Not Today, Jesus.

In this episode we take a look at how the way we define words, ideas, and situations can impact the way we think, feel, and believe. Because of this, we think it is vitally important to take the time to rethink the way you define things as you begin or continue your journey away from the faith. We also want to let our listeners know that we are going to start working on our very own theme music that will play at the beginning and end of each episode. Thank you for listening as we find our bearings, and we appreciate your continued support!

When you are raised in a family or environment in which almost everyone you know is a believer, it can be difficult to know just how to respond and interact with those who still believe after you have found yourself on the "outside." In this episode, L and Raven discuss some of their experiences and offer advice to anyone struggling with this issue.
