Cheers To Leaving!
Welcome to "Cheers to Leaving," the podcast that's all about expanding our horizons and embracing diverse perspectives. Join your hosts, Rachael and Cameron, as they embark on a new journey of understanding and connection.
In this revamped season, Rachael and Cameron, both who left their evangelical Christian backgrounds, are shifting the spotlight to illuminate stories that exist beyond the realm of Christianity. With an open heart and a commitment to fostering dialogue, they explore the narratives of individuals who bring unique experiences, beliefs, and perspectives to the table.
"Cheers to Leaving" is not just a departure from religion and the familiar; it's an invitation to explore the rich tapestry of human stories that may lie outside our comfort zones. Through thoughtful conversations, the hosts aim to bridge the gap between different worlds, fostering empathy, understanding, and unity.
Whether you identify with a specific faith, philosophy, or are still finding your path, this podcast invites you to pull up a chair, grab a metaphorical drink, and join the conversation. It's time to raise our glasses to leaving behind Christianity, preconceptions, embracing diversity, and celebrating the multitude of voices that make up the human experience.
Get ready for insightful conversations, eye-opening revelations, and a journey that promises to challenge, inspire, and leave you with a deeper appreciation for the vast tapestry of beliefs that shape our world. Welcome to the new era of "Cheers to Leaving" - where everyone's story is not just heard but celebrated. Cheers! 🥂

Ep 65 From Fundamentalism to Priesthood: The Transformative Power of Story with Shannon TL Kearns (Part 1)
In this compelling episode, we sit down with Shannon TL Kearns, a former fundamentalist who became the first openly transgender man ordained to the Old Catholic priesthood. We discuss trans issues, trans theology and Christianity. We also discuss how people can be in better solidarity with trans folks today and what listening to trans folks might open up for people who aren't trans.
Shannon believes in the transformative power of story. As an ordained priest, a playwright, a theologian, and a writer all of his work revolves around making meaning through story. He is the co-founder of QueerTheology.com. His first book In the Margins: A Transgender Man’s Journey With Scripture just released from Eerdmaan’s books. He started and led Uprising Theatre Company for 6 years.
