A weekly podcast hosted by Rose-Ingrid Benjamin and Laura Wilcox, your friendly neighbourhood youth group rejects! We're glad you're here! Come on in, grab your fave bevvy, roll some of that good good, and join us for some Sunday hangs.
From Veggie Tales, to Bible Man, Purity Culture to Kink or Sex Clubs, whether you speak in tongues or just good with your tongue, nothing is off the table as we hang out, shoot the shit, reminisce about our youth group days and process all the baggage left behind since we left Jesusland.
Rose-Ingrid finally repents of their sins as they process grief, funeral planning, reading their mom's journal and being traumatised by the Spotify algorithm.
