About this podcast
Two husbands. One fabulous story.
Join an ex-Jehovah’s Witness and his ex-Mormon husband as they spill the sacramental tea. From Kingdom Halls to Temple calls, they’ve been shunned, silenced, and spiritually ghosted—but now they’re loud, proud, and podcasting it all.
The Two EXES of faith now share their journeys from closeted believers to out-and-married besties with mics.
