Welcome to the official podcast page for Recovering from Religion.
In these broadcasts, adapted from weekly RfRx talks, we talk to those who’ve been harmed by extreme religion and religious practices.
You meet guests with personal experiences and insights in various religions and religious groups, including Mormonism, Jehovah Witnesses, Scientology, religious activism, and more.
Some of these folks ended up abandoning their faith, others re-defined it, and some are still in process.
Our goal is not to talk anyone into or out of faith, but to provide a safe space to examine what we believe.
And perhaps, why we believe it.
The RfR podcast is hosted by volunteers, and supported by your donations.
