Despite the challenges, the boys attempt to look back on their time in church objectively. They evaluate everything they had experienced and share their positive takeaways from that time in their lives. Also, a major event for Collier happened this week that they celebrate!

This week, Collier and Elijah share their deconstruction wishlist. First, a list of favorites out of people who have looked critically at their faith, then a list of those who they wish would. Originally planning to only discuss recent news, they end up discussing ways to measure personal bias, thoughts on gun control and the persecution complex.

After nearly six months apart, the boys reunited recently for a fun weekend filled with exploration and enjoyment in the Big Apple! Listen this week to hear them discuss religious stigmas, catching up and what its like living in NYC.

Hopefully Wandering welcomes their good friend Ash this week! Ash's story is a difficult one to share, yet, unlike her experience in church, she is able to share without judgment or ulterior motive. Ash began attending church in her teen years, and her youth grouped latched onto her testimony as a means of conversion. She shares the way her mental health was affected by her relationship to the church from youth group, to Cru in college, and her journey away.
