Podcast appearances and mentions of teresa macbain

Encore release September 16, 2018. Encore release Jun 9, 2017. We interview Teresa MacBain, former Methodist minister, now Public Relations director for American Atheists.  Plus: American Atheists president Dave Silverman has a special announcement regarding the upcoming 50th anniversary convention in Austin, Texas.

Teresa MacBain is a former Methodist pastor and the first female member of the Clergy Project to publicly “come out” as a nonbeliever. She did that at the 2012 American Atheists convention. She’s now the director of the Hotline Project, which offers callers who are grappling with their faith a chance to talk (anonymously) with an atheist about any questions or concerns. Their number is 1-84-I-Doubt-It (1-844-368-2848). We spoke with her about how she began having doubts about religion while in the pulpit, the type of people who call the Hotline Project, and how to volunteer to be on the receiving end of that call.

In this special extended episode, we hear from several humanists on a variety of humanist issues. Listen as Kim Ellington interviews Andy Norman, Teresa MacBain, Sheila Malcolm, Richard Howse, Jason Torpy, Roland Halpern, Kelley Freeman, and Ed Gogol.

This week the boys are joined by guest Teresa MacBain from The Clergy Project (A private forum for ministers who have lost or are losing their faith).  She goes over her life in the ministry, losing faith, and her perspectives on religion.  Afterwards the podcast goes gay, and of course the Dick of the Week!
