RfRx Talks

What is an RfRx Talk?
The RfRx live-streamed talks take place on the meeting platform, Zoom. Each show begins with a description of all RfR services, followed by 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 allow everyone to unmute their microphones and enjoy a moderated video hangout with the guest and co-hosts, where additional questions can be asked, and attendees can discuss whatever else is on their minds. Unlike the earlier portions of the show, the hangout is not recorded. However, RfRx Talks are widely promoted and open to the public, including being streamed to the ACA Discord Server, 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 25th at 8pm Eastern Time

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!
