Jon Steingard, former frontman of Hawk Nelson, joins us this week to talk about leaving Christianity. In May 2020, he posted to his predominately Christian following that he didn't consider himself to be a believer anymore. We talk about his deconstruction, being in the Christian music industry, and where he's at now with faith and belief.

 With everything happening in the news this week, I wanted to talk to a friend about his experience and what we can do to come alongside the black community right now.   As a Christian with influence, I want to use my platform to be a part of healing. I'm not equipped to talk on this issue, so I just want us to listen and come to this conversation with an open heart.   "Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn" - Romans 12:15   Follow him on social media!

Cody is one of the reasons this podcast started! In 2016, Jaron and Cody sat and talked for hours at Starbucks over some blonde roast coffee. They had in depth conversations about faith, how the universe works, and disagreed with each other. But their disagreements didn't affect the relationship, and that's what this podcast is about.
