About this listen

We're a podcast that asks the question, "What do you believe?" We talk with people to find out how they grew up, what they think about today, and where they think they'll be in the future. Faith, religion, and spirituality are all such personal journeys. We're honored to be able to tell people's stories, no matter the belief.

  • Don Phelps: Finale

    In the final episode of Season 3, we flip the script. My dad takes the mic to ask me the tough questions — the ones I’ve been dodging or quietly wrestling with since this project began. From growing up in the church to breaking away from its framework, from fearing hell to finding peace in uncertainty, this conversation is raw, reflective, and maybe even healing.

    We talk about what it means to be agnostic, how parenting shifts our spiritual lens, and why it's okay — even freeing — to not have all the answers. Thank you for listening, for sharing, and for allowing space for conversations that rarely happen out loud.

  • Don Phelps: Don't Pigeonhole Yourself

    In this episode, I talk with my dad about where he is today—years after stepping away from the church, years into recovery, and miles into a quieter, more mindful life. What started as a story about leaving religion has become something much more honest: learning how to live with uncertainty, how to be at peace in the present, and how to show up for the people we love.

    We talk about Buddhism, AA, the fear of change, and why it’s okay to not have all the answers anymore. It’s a conversation about real transformation—not overnight, not dramatic—but slow, steady, and deeply human.

  • Bonus Episode: Conversations Around the Campfire
    Jul 8 2025

    Send us a text

    On a quiet night around the campfire during a family camping trip, I sit down with my wife, sister, brother-in-law, and dad for an honest, unfiltered conversation about the podcast—and the personal truths it’s brought to light.

    Together, they unpack some of the most surprising revelations from the series, including:

    • How Myles’ sister had no idea her parents came from different religious backgrounds
    • The family’s reaction to learning Don once preached while intoxicated
    • Their mother’s ongoing fear that her children might end up in hell
    • Don’s admission that he purposely avoided preaching about homosexuality
    • And the troubling teaching methods they all remember from their former church

    As the conversation unfolds, it evolves into something bigger—a reflection on how their family has changed, how their faith has shifted, and what it means to question authority and religious certainty.
