What happens when a Muslim, a Christian, a Jew, and an Agnostic talk on a podcast…? Answer: Season 1 of Have a Blessed Gay!

In this final episode of season one, Tyler reflects over this past incredible year by giving his top five takeaways from season one! You’ll hear inspirational highlights from five of Have a Blessed Gay’s diverse guests, including from Muslim author and one of Time Magazine's "100 Most Influential People,” Daisy Khan, Rupaul’s Dragrace superstar, Nina West, Rabbi and activist, Denise L. Eger, Human Rights Campaign’s “Top Faith Leaders,” Brandan Robertson, and deconstructionist and decolonizer, Jo Luehmann.

Welcome to Have a Blessed Gay, your weekly spiritual-comedy podcast! Join holy host, Tyler Martin, as he critically discusses social norms, current events, mental health, religion, and spirituality from an outcast's perspective.

In this episode, Tyler gets meta AF and deconstructs deconstruction. If you’re new to the concept, deconstruction is the method of taking something apart, analyzing, and questioning it. It is a core theme of this podcast, but something Tyler doesn't typically explicitly talk about.

Using his essays from the book “The Deconstructionist Playbook,” he examines the choice of religion and faith, our inner voices, abandonment, and the options we have after deconstruction. Join Tyler in deconstructing deconstruction! And if you want to enter for a chance to win a free signed copy of the book, the details to enter are below:

Welcome to Have a Blessed Gay, your weekly spiritual-comedy podcast! Join holy host, Tyler Martin, as he critically discusses social norms, current events, mental health, religion, and spirituality from an outcast's perspective.

In this episode, Tyler talks with the inspiring Rachel Myers! Rachel, along with her husband Derek, began a little Instagram page called Your Favorite Heretics -- it was something that began for their family and friends -- a place for them to share their deconstruction journey, but when one post went viral, things shifted a bit! They now have over 40 thousand followers and have cultivated a beautiful, safe community for people deconstructing and recovering from church trauma. They aim to create content that gives language to people's experience and help them along in their healing. An inclusive community for all types of people dealing with the messy undoing of toxic theology, they are welcome to all.

Tyler and Rachel discuss trauma bonding, navigating relationships as one deconstructs their faith, her journey toward coming out as a-sexual, evangelicalism, and finding divinity within others!
