Normalizing Deconstruction

DRCK has helped me so much over the past year as I’ve been deconstructing and trying to figure out what to do with the 22 years that I spent growing up in the church. Josh & Adrian are funny, insightful, understanding, and have an awesome growth mindset. Their podcast has helped me form the beliefs that I have today and has taught me that it’s ok to keep changing my mind and not have all the answers. Thanks for everything you guys do!

Safe space

My 5 children and I have gone through a process of stepping away from the “ church”. They each have their own faith journey they are on. DRCK has literally saved me from crying most days because of the loss of friends and community that was soooo unhealthy and full of spiritual abuse. Thank you guys for showing me how to laugh again, remove a ton of guilt for being human , and thoroughly enjoying conversations where they speak everything I have ever thought. Never miss an episode!

DRCK is my new BFF?

Just two goofballs talkin’ mess, with all the taboo, scary, beautiful conversations—held with such intentionality and grit—in the in between. This podcast is addicting, and if you’re like me, you’ll quickly convince yourself that Josh and Adrian are your new best friends and that your sitting along with them in their sweaty garage, diving into all the questions you weren’t allowed to touch in Sunday school, youth group, or “big” church. 10/10 in love.

Finally: A community of like minded people

I’ve been deconstructing alone since 2007 when a lot of the evangelical ideas of my childhood stopped making less sense to me. I thought I was alone with my ideas until I found this podcast which have allowed me to be a part of a community of like minded people. It has been incredible.

Five stars!!!

DRCK is dope! I listened to a lot of podcasts while I was deconstructing because for the most part, I was alone in my space. Listening helped me not feel lonely alone. I stopped listening to several of the podcasts as I continued to journey, but DRCK is still awesome and I listen to them and The Life After all the time. I love the variety and diversity of the guests; they’re all amazing to hear from! Thanks for everything gents; you make Wednesday even better!

Always a refreshing listen.

After my long deconstruction, I tried to hold onto certain teachings and I told myself I never wanted to stop learning. I took to books I was always told not to read, and heavy podcasts that dove deep in the Bible while exploring deconstruction. I just got bored and couldn’t do it anymore - it felt like I was trying to find something that isn’t necessarily important to find. This podcast is so refreshing - I can just sit and laugh with people who sound like all my fellow deconstructed friends and rest in the fact that it’s all going to be OK.

review.

love this podcast. i grew up a pastor’s kid and was kinda born into being a christian. my dad retired last year, so a lot of the expectation pressure is off and i’ve been able to comfortably start to deconstruct. listening to this podcast has helped so freaking much. definitely makes me feel less alone, more understood.

2-5 hour podcast would be great 🙃

I look forward to the episodes every time they show up on my feed (I always forget what week is what) and it makes my day when they pop up. Thank you guys. You could make 3, 4, 5 hour podcasts and I’d be thrilled.

Number 1

This podcast!! The combo of laughing at shared religious experiences and deep diving into those same experiences is EVERYTHING!! I have been listening to it exclusively since I was told about it a week ago. It’s as if I had actual friends to talk thru all this stuff with. Listen now!

My best friends I never met

I always look forward to this podcast. Josh and Adrian are hilarious, thoughtful, and genuine. Hearing their perspectives and stories makes me feel seen and I will never stop being excited when a new episode comes out!

Amazing

This is the podcast I didn’t know I needed. I could try and explain but you have to experience it for yourself. Just go listen.

Thank you for this pod!

I’ve been listening to this podcast for a few months now, and it makes me feel seen. I’ve been struggling with my faith and feeling connected to the church, this has helped me understand my own feelings and navigate my own beliefs. It’s scary to put this kind of stuff out, i think, but i appreciate Josh, Adrian and all the guests.

I laugh out loud each episode

But too much use of the work ‘like’.

Listened while washing the dishes and couldn’t skip ahead.

The first 15 minutes of this show will be the worst hour of your week. Not since the Charmin Sh*tting bears have I heard a worse ad for a product then these guys saying “join our Patreon and get more of this!” referring to their first 15 minutes of their show. Once you get past the insistently forced “funny” parts, their show has good content. Just make sure you have dry enough fingers to push the skip ahead 30 seconds button 30 times.

I will call upon their name…

…when it comes to some familiarity. This podcast just feels right. Cynical, sarcastic, through the lens of some Dudes raised Christian, gone Beavis n Butt Head. I can’t get enough of it! Jesus is my savior, and DRCK is my filler.

Love this podcast!

If you are looking for an environment in which you can explore your faith, in a healthy environment that won’t judge you, this is it. As someone who grew up in the Christian faith and even went to bible college, this podcast really helped me understand deconstruction and what that looks like.

I've laughed, I've cried, I've learned a ton. I feel a little less alone when I'm having a bad "deconstruction" day. Yall rock ✌🏼️✌🏼️

This. Is. Everything.

Warning: Do not try to listen to this podcast while running. You might almost trip and fall while laughing so hard. I absolutely love this podcast. Josh and Adrian articulate everything I’ve felt in the last 10 years and let me know I’m not alone. Also, they’re hilarious and feels like I’m hanging out with friends.

The Perfect Podcast for a Former / Questioning Christian

I grew up in church and spent most Sundays on the stage playing in the worship band. If the doors were open, I was there. I began to question my faith in my early 20s and left the church in my mid to late 20s. Fast forward a few years and I’m a mid 30s agnostic trying to process the role church had in my life. Listening to DRCK has helped me process some religious trauma I’ve experienced. There are things that happened that still effect me that I didn’t even realize until hearing the DRCK guys talk about it. This has been entertaining while also being therapeutic. I’m so thankful I found this podcast.

The Bevis and Butthead of deconstructed Christianity.

A show that makes you laugh even when you want to screen.
