Cohosts:
Clare Heath-McIvor
Cohost, Tech Person, and
Team Extrovert
Clare is a writer and podcaster. Her background in research writing turned to an exploration of theology and doctrine when she found herself deconstructing a lifelong faith as a newly-minted “exvangelical” in late 2015. The launch of her blog connected her with a tribe of people all over the world who find church difficult or impossible, but who still want to explore faith and connection with the divine.

Shari A Smith
Cohost and Social Media Person
Shari grew up in evangelicalism, and began to deconstruct her beliefs in 2015, having finally given herself permission to ask hard questions. She believes that asking questions and challenging narratives, particularly harmful and painful narratives, are ways of glorifying and worshipping the God of creation. Her work has appeared on the Ezer Rising platform, For Women Who Roar magazine, and #NotGoingHome, a compilation of Christian feminist essays. Shari currently lives in the majestic PNW with her husband and her two fur babies.
