What is an RfRx Talk?
RfRx Talks feature a wide variety of speakers including experts in religious trauma, relationship issues, building community, grieving, science-communication, critical thinking, and more.
The RfRx talks take place on Zoom, and are also livestreamed to YouTube.. Each show begins with our guest’s presentation (or interview) which is allocated up to an hour. Next comes a Q&A session utilizing questions the co-hosts collect from the Zoom chat. (We leave the chat active for the entire session for the use of all attendees.)
After the Q&A we stop the recording and YouTube stream. We then allow the Zoom attendees to unmute their microphones and enjoy a moderated video hangout with the guest and co-hosts where additional questions can be asked and any topic of interest can be discussed. Although the hangout is not recorded, RfRx Talks are widely promoted and the Zoom session is open to the public, so they are not confidential or private. Thus, vulnerable clients should utilize Zoom settings to remain anonymous..
There is no cost to attend an RfRx Talk, but if you feel so inclined, donations are always welcome and may be made here.
Coming Monday, November 24th at 8pm Eastern Time

This is a small sample of the hundreds of RfRx episodes. See our RfRx YouTube playlist for the full listing.
RfRx episodes are hosted on Zoom by RfR Online Programming Director Kara Griffin with the assistance of a co-host.
Each episode features a guest speaker discussing a topic of interest to people in the Recovering from Religion community. The diverse subjects have included mental wellness, critical thinking, understanding other religions, purity culture, evolution vs. creationism, religious trauma, paranormal claims, dealing with grief without religion, and many, many more. At the conclusion of each talk, questions from the live audience are used to further the conversation.
The live session become a social-hangout after the recording is stopped, so if you only watch the recorded episodes (or listen to the podcast uploads) you are missing half the fun. Join us live every Monday!
