“Always remember that to argue, and win, is to break down the reality of the person you are arguing against. It is painful to lose your reality, so be kind, even if you are right.”
― Haruki Murakami

When he said "I dont know what happens after I die but I'm more interested in what happens while I'm alive... this life is the only thing I know for certain that I've got" I was like DAMN

[tarnishedsilver]

As a former pastor who walked away from faith and still lives in the south, thank you for this. It is comforting to hear the story of the exact same process I experienced. This talk is invaluable.

[nelateulon]

Rhett. I cried. "Hopeful agnostic", me too. So open, so honest, so noble. I really appreciate you.

[BigDaddyWes]

"The truth had to be more important than my ideology." That is wisdom.

[GenericaQwerty]

"what if I am wrong about this?" is such a powerful question and something we should ask ourselves every day, about everything. We shouldn't be ashamed to realise we're wrong about something, instead we should be grateful to learn. Thanks for being so open Rhett.

[fireball]

The fact that Rhett is comfortable telling this story says a lot. Losing a connection from what you used to believe so deeply is an emotional rollercoaster! I'm happy that you guys are talking about this because it lets us know we're not the only ones.
Edit- thank you so much for the likes, and Rhett if you're reading this just know we support you and love you!

[Hopeful]

Coming back 3 years later to listen to this. I wasn’t ready at the time, but am now at a point in my deconstruction to where I am. Thank you for the incredible work you do.

[poppyEars]

I love how studiously Link is taking notes about his bff

[MattMay]

"I have lost my appetite for certainty... and it has been the most liberating thing in my adult life." This resonated in my bones. Thank you for discussing your journey; I've found much needed validation in my experience from hearing yours.

[BradMurray]

It's remarkable to hear someone with a trained preacher's delivery witnessing about their loss of faith. I love you Rhett and love to hear you talk about your embrace of uncertainty.

[sxfglcc]

To dismiss this man's experience as a simple move to LA is so incredibly ignorant and hurtful. And I think it's something someone would say who doesn't want to admit they have had some of the same questions about their own faith. This was very clearly a long and painful process for Rhett and I really appreciate him being vulnerable and sharing this.

[elenaforgiarini]

I would LOVE to hear Christy and Jessie's side of this story. Sounds like such an interesting journey being on the other side of this journey and having to "keep up"

[koziol]

Rhett you have a real talent for explaining controversial topics in a respectful, meaningful manner. I think you could help a lot of people who used to be in your situation by speaking about your journey. Close-mindedness is never the answer...it’s always better to be open to any possibility in life.

[katiecarolus]

This helped me breathe. I started crying when Rhett said "I'm more interested now in what happens while I live". Thank you. I've never even been religious, I've been agnostic my whole life but wow, this helped.

[diegoleal]

Link’s proud and happy smile after saying “Thank you for sharing”, at 1:42:53, is so geniune and warm, what a great friend he is!

[procrastinatingstrawberry]

I think a lot of us can agree it was an honour to listen to this podcast. Very personal and eye opening. Shout out to Link for being a great listener too. Looking forward to the next episode.

[fiend]

I had to stop the episode and appreciate the absurdity of seeing a person, who I'd normally watch eat crazy stuff, have a deep moving speech on such a personal topic. I'm glad they've both talked about this.

[pascaltarian]

the story where Link almost kill a mythical beast got me cracking up 'just seen ya'll in the Audi almost hit me love the show lol'

[GamerDad]

Rhett, don't know if you'll see this buddy - 40 y/o married father of 4 here - been a Christian for 24 years...was going to be a pastor, read all the books, etc. I am in the process that you went through in this video - honestly, I wasn't ready to hear it 3 years ago - I listened to it all today. Thank you for your huimility my guy - appreciated.
