The Man and the Boy
The Man and the Boy explores what happens when someone begins to question the religious beliefs they were raised with. It follows an adult navigating doubt, self-discovery, and the process of deconstructing faith, often alongside his younger self who once accepted everything without question. Together they confront shame, guilt, and the challenge of rebuilding self-worth outside of fear. The podcast is for anyone who has wrestled with faith, identity, or letting go of beliefs that no longer fit.
