Dopeeee

This is an excellent and insightful podcast, and Most importantly, the cast is hilarious. Talking about real issues can be a lot sometimes. The cast does a great job addressing the real but makes it digestible for folks like me who use humor as medicine. I can't get my ratchet, righteous, theological, and worldly fix right here! I love it here.

Needed in these times!

I love this podcast. I grew up a preacher’s kid and have been on my deconstructing journey for a few years. These conversations need to be had, and I think it’s great to show the intersectionality between deconstructing and maintaining some sort of belief system in healthy ways while also understanding the emotional impacts of harmful theology. Keep the conversations going!

Hello Pamela & Holy Smokes Crew!

I just wanted to say I loved the episode. As a Puerto Rican, & Mexican American I can relate to the hardships we face. I see the look on peoples faces when I walk in with my Beautiful Black Wife & it scares me sometimes too. I am always in constant aware of my surroundings. Thank you for speaking on this. I think it’s so important for people to know it’s not ok.

I really loved the episode and even had some great chuckles listening.
I appreciate you all ❣️
