Losing Our Religion

A former megachurch pastor leaves religion behind to rid himself of the exclusivity created by its dogmas in order to open himself up to learn from the lives, stories, and experiences of everyone else. To prove we are more alike than we think and we can all get along no matter what we believe. Topics range via guest's experiences growing up in religious homes, where Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Secularism, Judaism, Hinduism, Tao, Heathenism, Satanism, Wicca and all forms of dogmas and ideologies programmed into the mind of a child. What happens when that child becomes an adult? What good things do they hold onto? What things do they lose? Where are they now, and in what ways are they finding the peace that we all desire, with or apart from the religions they were raised with? Losing Our Religion is a wild ride with a community of diverse humans each seeking their desired life away from dogma and exclusivity.

Losing Our Religion is a hilarious and candid look at religion and culture, with former pastor, now commune living lover of sinners, Zac Gandara.  As he has drinks with former religious freaks, and others he used to shun.  Gays, Anarchists, Queers, Atheists, Transsexuals, Punk Rockers, and the rest of us that are considered rejects on this island of misfit toys.

Jay has suffered from anxiety and depression since he was 13. Bullied as a chubby kid, but grew up to be a metalcore playing, indie wrestling, stand-up comedian with a heart of gold.

Being a Christian with anxiety and depression led to all sorts of religious manipulation, demonic explanations, and attempted exorcisms. But alas there's no demon. Just a human, finding his way through his fantastic journey.

Oleg is a Ukrainian immigrant. Moving to America when he was just ten years old. Living in fear of deportation until granted asylum, legally issued a green card, then full citizenship more than ten years later.

We spend time talking about growing up as an immigrant, our growing disillusionment with American Nationalism, and taking a journey into psychedelic enlightenment.

This episode is a bit different than our usual story episodes. There is no doubt food brings us together, and Emily and Daniel love food!

They love food so much they decided to gather their friends and family to discuss what food means to them, what recipes they're digging, and to compete in a winner takes all food story-telling competition!!!

Daniel Timothy Desrosiers and Emily Koren do all this through their new podcast called Food Babies, and in this episode, we take a walk with them into the Food Babies world.
