  • Shane Larsen grew up in the Latter Day Saints faith, but after a faith crisis, he began using critical thinking, asking the tough questions and found himself deconstructing his faith. Now, he wants others who leave the comfort and familiarity of their faith tradition to know that they are not alone. He has a TikTok account called "Shane Deconstructs" where he talks very openly about his faith shift, sometimes in funny ways and sometimes in ways that make one think a little deeper about the things they've been told are true. He shares his journey with openness, vulnerability and a lot of heart.

    Shane can be found on TikTok at this link!

    The podcast Shane talked about, Marriage on a Tightrope, can be found here!

    The book Shane talked about that made his faith shift begin is called A More Beautiful Question by Warren Berger. This is more of a business book, just fyi. But here are a few more books Shane recommends if you want to improve critical thinking or if you are deconstructing Mormonism:

    The Magic of Reality by Richard Dawkins

    Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari

    The Demon Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark by Carl Sagan

    The CES Letter: My Search for Answers to my Mormon Doubts

    No Man Knows My History: the Life of Joseph Smith by Fawn Brodie

    An Insider's View of Mormon Origins by Grant Palmer

  • April Ajoy was a worship leader and Christian Nationalist (she even wrote a song about it) for most of her life, until a few years back when she began deconstructing her theological beliefs. Now she is a content creator, podcaster, and author of a book called Star Spangled Jesus: Leaving Christian Nationalism and Finding a True Faith due out in October! Her journey is one of incredible twists and turns and she has been keeping her sense of humor through it all. You're going to love hearing her incredible journey!

    You can find April on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.

    She is also the co-host of the weekend wrap up with Tim at The New Evangelicals.

  • Stephen Knight (known on the internet as Knightopia) is not afraid to speak up for the least of these. His heart for the marginalized, his love for his fellow humans and his desire to see social justice in the world fuels him each day. His journey from working in a conservative mission organization, the Billy Graham Association and now fighting for the rights of human begins with Just Leadership USA is relatable, powerful and shows that our journeys are all very complex and important to get us where we are today!

    You can find Stephen online under the name "Knightopia" on TikTok and Instagram.

    But you won't find him on X (Twitter) because they suspended his account. (lol)

    Stephen will be at The Wild Goose Festival this month in NC! If you're up for a great time with great music, speakers and events, make sure you check it out!
