Welcome to ExCommunicated, a deconstruction podcast hosted by ex-Christians: Tom and Jess, and joined by life-long sinner, Arthur. We all have incredibly different experiences discovering and then leaving Christianity. We will be diving deep into our pasts, now from the other side after decades of being involved in the church. We upload new episodes every Sunday morning, we'll laugh, we'll cry, so you should definitely subscribe.
