Were you ever part of the Seventh-day Adventist Church or exposed to fundamentalist Christianity in general? If so, have we got a show for you (queue the Veggie Tales theme song)!

Haystacks & Hell is an ex-Adventist podcast where we tell stories about growing up Seventh-day Adventist, leaving faith behind, and building new, fulfilling lives.

We'll also unpack topics like:

• The end of the world
• Sex, dating, and purity culture
• Wild quotes from SDA "prophet" Ellen White
