Amazing podcast

This podcast is raw, emotional, and incredibly helpful for those deconstructing. The hosts keep it light while discussing very serious topics. Would definitely recommend to a friend - especially one leaving the evangelical bubble.

Thanks

This podcast is such a comfort to me. I’m thankful to live in this time when these ideas are being shared and I don’t feel like I’m so alone. They discuss things that definitely need to be discussed. What a relief.

Fav podcast of all time

I have listed to a LOT of podcasts and DRCK is by far my favorite. Josh and Adrian are not only hilarious, but their sincerity and willingness to grow and learn is amazing. They are setting a great example to their kids about how to be open minded to perspectives that stand in stark contrast to their evangelical upbringings while also not being afraid to speak out and hold accountable those that are causing harm in the world. They keep it real always and they are just so fun to listen to. Keep it coming bad apples!

I needed this

I’ve only listened to 2 episodes so far but they were both so good! I now don’t feel so alone in my deconstruction. I love how they use humor to make the process so joyful and not awful.

Vindicated!

Thank you Dirty Rotten Church Kids for bringing humor, intelligence and humanity to the discussion of deconstruction. As a former life long church volunteer, and volunteer worship leader, navigating this terrain can be isolating and overwhelming. You help foster a community that so many of us need. And you’ve seen how the sausage is made and make the best fun of it!! Your content is amazingly sacri-licious. Mmmm....

A truly safe space

I love DRCK. Through my deconstruction/faith evolution, Josh and Adrian have helped give me language for some things I have or am experiencing. This community is so beautiful. They balance keeping things casual while discussing some really difficult realities about the evangelical experience. I highly recommend this podcast

I could listen forever

I’ve never felt so seen/validated in my feelings in my whole life. I binged through the episodes so these guys feel like my best friends and they have no idea who I am 😂 These episodes have me going from laughing out loud hysterically, to bawling my eyes out at some heavy realizations they brought to surface, to getting so excited that there’s other people in the world that have been through what I have and landed in a similar place. Thank you guys, what you’re doing is important.

Helps me feel less alone in my deconstruction

Finding this podcast during quarantine of 2020 was an amazing gift at the beginning of my deconstruction. I felt much less alone, and was thankful to have someone help me find the words to express some of what I was thinking and feeling. You guys are the best!

Brave Conversations on Suppressed & Taboo Church Feelings

This podcast has been so helpful to put into words what I’ve been feeling for years. It helps to know that I’m not the only one processing traumatic church experiences, but it’s also sad to know that I’m not the only one processing traumatic church experiences.

Finally a real podcast

I love that this podcast gives me permission to question. I don’t need the permission from them, but really questioning anything about faith in my home or church was shameful. There’s non-negotiables I have that I looked past in the Christian church/community to keep everyone around me comfortable and probably to keep myself comfortable/at peace. Deconstructing has been the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through and also the most rewarding. I couldn’t name some traumas I’ve experienced until listening to this podcast so thank you.

Still processing

This was an incredible episode. I think all their epidsodes are really, but this is one that is definitely harder to process than others. There were so many times I just paused so I could just say aloud what I was thinking/get it out. Thankful to have found you all on the journey in life I am on.

Stumbling Gracefully Through Deconstruction

This is real talk from two guys stumbling gracefully through deconstruction with the rest of us. They don’t make themselves out to be experts or examples to follow that churchy way *none* of us miss. Don’t be fooled by the length of the podcasts - it’s a real conversation unfolding between two bffs. Also, credit to their artistic/creative skills. As a fellow artist and former church musician I can’t get enough of their music and music humor.

One of My Favorite Podcats

This is the podcast I look forward to new episodes the most. Josh and Adrian have created a safe space for those of us that are deconstructing from Christianity and need an outlet and a place to go to knew we’re not alone. This podcast is both hilarious and so so enlightening. I crack up laughing at some segments and walk away weeping at what some of their guests have to say. So so many good perspectives. If you’re looking for a good podcast while deconstructing or having doubts about Christianity, this is a big warm hug. Plus, they post the best memes on Instagram.

Finally finding the words for the dysfunction that was the reformed church

I found these guys after seeing their purity culture episode and listen to every single one now. They are able to put into words what I am just now able to recognize as the dysfunctional teachings of the evangelical church.

It’s a balm to my deconstructed soul

This podcast came at a time I needed it most and took the white evangelical upbringing imprinted on my brain and put it into a podcast to analyze and critique. They say things that I’ve been feeling and thinking for a long time but put it all together in a humorous and honest way.

Thanks

You ruined podcasts for me because this was the first one I listened to and nothing else even compares.

Ugh, I love these guys! So much fun and so real. Cathartic, funny, and healing. I can’t get enough.

Finally

This podcast is incredible. I left the Christian church about a year ago after spending my childhood there then transitioning to church staff in adulthood. I felt like a crazy person trying to sort out all of the conflict going on within and around me. This podcast makes me feel SEEN and I wish I had found it sooner. Cheers to our collective healing and occasional Veggie Tales reference 🍻

💖

I grew up in what I call a cult/cult adjacent extremely conservative Christian church. As a queer woman the damage done to my identity and self worth is huge. This podcast is such a breath of fresh air and encouragement. The balance of heavy and humor is perfect. Josh and Adrian make me feel like we’re hanging out with them and their guests. Also the guests have been absolutely incredible. Absolutely worth the listen if you have any background in the evangelical community! 💖🏳️‍🌈💖

Can’t Get Enough

I love Josh and Adrian’s ability to be simultaneously hilarious and insightful. They dig into some of the most important topics but do so in a way that makes you feel like you’re hanging out with a good friend who has your back. Regardless of where you are at in your journey of deconstruction, I think most of us exvangelicals can relate to a lot of their content—and if not, there is a lot to be learned here. These two are more than qualified. Thanks you guys for taking the time out of your lives to create this podcast and help us wanderers feel less alone.

Good perspectives

My enneagram is 8 and I’m a woman. No wonder I got kicked out 😂 Love this podcast Very validating and encouraging

They grow on you

I really didn’t like them at first, but because I hate being alone with my thoughts, I kept listening. Now I love them and how they have embraced their truths on the other side of repression.

Love it

This podcast has been my place of community. That may sound silly but when you’ve been a Christian your entire life then decide to step back and ask questions, you feel a lot of loss and confusion. You feel like there’s no one around you who’s going through what you’re going through. So many of the episodes I can relate directly with. These guys are so real in what share and they have me laughing almost every episode. Please keep making episodes :)

Legends

For those of you who need a friend or two to walk you through the shadows of your evangelical experience - whether as a church kid, parent, youth pastor or other - Adrian and Josh do a great job of just saying what we’ve all been feeling for so long - not just to rip on it, but to break it down and unpack it in a way that is healthy and honoring to the things that were actually worthwhile from our sordid pasts. :) So grateful for voices that are actively breaking into the conversations we all need or want during our ever-evolving faith journey.

Grooming young wife episode

First off, thanks for this podcast. It has given me so much to think about. Second, the grooming your young Christian wife episode - especially the part about making sure she is 25 or younger - reminded me of how adult humans’ part of the brain that establishes a sense of self continues to develop until about 25-27. So, essentially, the person you referenced is urging men to shape their wives’ sense of sense around their own preference before the wives can establish their own.
