Fresh Air For Exvangelical Ex-Worship-Leaders
Thanks to these guys for making a space for so many church boys and girls and non-binary folks who bravely left a world that puts an insufferable amount of asterisks on the term “unconditional love”.
Wow!
I think I found my tribe. I’ve been going through some changes in the last few years and have felt very alone in that process. There’s not enough room on this review to say everything I’m feeling but I can at least say thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Recovering pastor’s kid here
This podcast is basically therapy for the trauma and abuse I experienced as a pastor’s kid in the evangelical church in America. Im grateful for the humor and the laughs. Its so healing in my process of deconstruction. I have found a “family” outside church through instagram and other “bad apples” that the hosts like to call their followers and its “such a blessing” 🤣😂🤣
THE PODCAST I DIDN’T KNOW WE ALL NEEDED!
I honestly was feeling very lost and alone in my feelings about the church at large and Christianity in general, and struggled to find a community that had the same feelings and questions I had about growing up in church. I stumbled upon The Dirty Rotten Church Kids just a month or two after they began, and immediately resonated with everything they were saying! Finally! Someone being honest about who and what the Church™️ is underneath the shiny exterior. Between the jokes and discussing the real trauma that evangelical Christianity inflicts, Adrian and Josh and their guests have me both laughing and crying during nearly every episode. I’m listening to this podcast, and joining their listener community, I’m finding a lot of peace, discovering questions I never thought to ask, and engaging in real conversations I never thought I would get to have.
best podcast!
i’m not a podcast listener usually...but this is definitely an exception. i have never felt so heard and seen regarding the BS that i put up with for so many years because of evangelical christianity!
LOVE LOVE LOVE
I love these guys!! Josh + Adrian’s awesome conversations lead to conversations between me + my fellow deconstructionists. I have moments where I think, “YES! You experienced that, too! I’m not alone! Also, Evangelical Christianity be weird.”
WOW
This podcast is refreshing for me! So good to hear that more people struggle with the same thing I do when it comes to Church. I know they have helped me rethink and helped my speak up more to help others going through the same thing.
Freshest Podcast
I can’t tell you what it means to hear men speak up and out against the injustices that are approved and promoted in church. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Thank you for such raw honesty.
We need more!
Just quit your jobs and do this full time already! ;) DRCK is one of my favorite podcasts. The episodes never fail to make me cry one minute and laugh the next. If you’re looking for comradery on the road of deconstruction of Christianity, then this is the podcast for you!
Just What I Need to Hear!
This podcast is so relatable on so many levels for anymore feeling the trauma and abuse from church life. As someone who has been deconstructing for 2 years, i finally feel like I found people who understand my feelings and it’s nice to hear them call out the crap that so many have been afraid to say. And you get to laugh too!
Totally relatable and Mildly triggering
Hi guys, It’s been 6 years and 3 months since my spouse and I left church and 8 years since we a youth ministry that we were involved in and pastored for the first 13 years of our marriage. Still deconstructing! Will it ever end? Who knows. You guys are a relatable breath of fresh air. Thanks for sharing your stories. Love your IG. Sarah Tacoma, WA
Best of Relatability and Hilarity
Listening to this podcast is like sitting in my dining room with the best of friends and cutting up while having conversation. It’s so effortless yet intentional. Highly recommend.
Funny and Thoughtful
Not only are they funny and snarky, it’s just relatable content that is thought provoking. Great guests too!
This is church
Thank you for your obedience to the lord in creating this podcast for us believers all over the world. God is really using you to stir my spirit up into a holy revolution, it’s as if the 2nd coming is being ushered in and I can’t believe I have a front row seat to see the day every knee will bow.
Freaking awesome
This podcast is amazing. Josh and Adrian do such an amazing job at explaining their thoughts and making it entertaining for others to listen. This podcast has been like a light in the tunnel for me— making me realize that my deconstruction is okay and NORMAL and actually healthy. Thanks guys :)
Breathe of fresh air every week
I love this intelligent, funny, and genuine podcast. Reevaluating your beliefs can be complicated and exhausting, but this podcast makes you feel like you aren’t doing it alone.
HOLY SPIRIT WAFT INTO OUR LUNGS 💀
fantastic podcast guys, thank you for creating this and bringing y’all’s originality and deep thinking to it!
Honest. Real. What we all are looking for.
Came across this podcast today and I’m hooked.
On Point
Adrian & Josh are so real and down to earth. Their podcasts touch on questions and feelings you have about religion and were not sure who to turn to for real, down to earth answers. Numerous times I have listed to their podcasts more than once. I love their authentic true selves! Laura C
Legit best podcast ever.
I know these boys personally and they are the same person off the podcast as they are on. They are real, they are funny, they are caring about their listeners and they have great taste in beers! And whoever does their side logos is pretty legit too! ;)
To pod be the glory
I love this podcast! Discovered at just the right time too. Equal parts funny, smart, and informative on current topics. If you are a former church kid, you’ll find this hilarious and refreshingly honest. No more “unspoken” requests, but a nice space for bad apples to ask some good questions that your pastor probably avoids. Highly recommend!
Witty, Rotten, & Relevant
I love this podcast. It’s especially eye opening for us kids who grew up trying to navigate the evangelical church world in the late 90s/early 2000s. These dudes give you permission to laugh about, cry about, question, and dissect everything your youth group and church culture taught you and/or the trauma they likely put you through. Along with the jokes an occasional innuendos, this podcast is full of spiritual depth, open mindedness, and a lot of love. You will find and experience Jesus here. ❤️
LOVE this podcast!
I just recently started listening to this podcast, and I have loved it so far. I listen to it when I drive to work! Great content and discussion topics!
Quickly becoming my fav
One of the best podcasts in my feed. Usually lighthearted and just a dash of cynical 😉
