This is my first experience with Pete Holmes. Clicked on it because of Rhett. Started thinking 'this guy loves hearing himself talk' to 'Oh, I like listening to this guy talk!'

[@celiam.4940]

That's the Pete Holmes experience! I've listened to his podcast for 9 years and he does love hearing himself talk, but he's also very insightful and a great interviewer.

[@SurfTheSkyline]

[@danoriley216]

[@GeneSavage]

As a believer, I applaud Rhett for questioning his faith. I think any truth that doesn't stand up to scrutiny, isn't truth. Of course I believe there is a God and my beliefs line up closest with Christianity, but I have doubts, and I chase them rather than run from them. If I'm wrong, I want to know. While I pray Rhett finds his way back to God (or maybe for the first time since it sounds like maybe he was more deep into religion), I pray more simply that Rhett will continue to be blessed in his public and personal life. Never stop questioning.

YEEEEES ever since his episode with Link right before their spiritual deconstructions I've wondered if we'd get a part 2. Thanks Pete !!

[@lynnie_routt]

I can’t find that episode!! 😢

[@peggarick2756]

Not sure if I'm understanding your comment, but the first conversation of deconstruction on EarBiscuits was Jan of 2020. Actually 4 episodes-Our Lost Years & Our Years as Missionaries led up to thee deconstruction episodes. They each had thier own deconstruction episode. There's also an episode-Our Other Best Friend. Kind of a tie in with those episodes. They had 1 year later episodes Jan 2021 discussing what happened in the following year after those episodes, again, each with thier own episode. And 2 years later was Feb 2022.

[@littlerileyg]

@@lynnie_routt I might've worded that oddly, but Rhett and link were on an episode of ymiw together back in October 2019, which is what I'm referring to! There's no video for it so I just listen on Spotify

[@littlerileyg]

@@peggarick2756I meant when they were on this show with Pete in 2019 they hadn't gone fully public with any of that yet, so I've been waiting for their return to ymiw :-)

oh god i tried to listen to the album and immediately got emotional, i think ill listen to this first and go back to it when i feel ready lol

[@Crybaby-Media]

Creek and back makes me cry every time. I don’t even have kids , but it’s such a sweet song

[@Wallystrom]

Really loved when Pete said it sounds like a break up album - love is love is love, loss is loss is loss. I've been steadily building a boundary with some toxic members of my family of origin and break up songs fucking killlll me, and it's almost impossible to explain why exile by T.Swift/Bon Iver makes me bawl every damn time I hear it (but I also love it, Justin Vernon is GOAT).

[@brandonferguson895]

I haven't been a fan long enough to know Rhett was that religious! Super interesting. Also, I'm loving the little grey in his beard. I just all around love his take on most things. BYMB everyone!

THE CROSSOVER I DIDN'T KNOW I NEEDED UNTIL NOW

[@michaelh.117]

What a great conversation! Thanks for this! I'm a 60-plus guy, and my deconstruction/reconstruction has been about 40 years in the making. On the one hand, I wish it had happened sooner and more quickly, but I wouldn't trade a minute, a step, a centimeter of it. It's all been a miracle. And yeah, anything by Richard Rohr!

[@Seanmadden93]

I've been waiting for this! Ever since Rhett and Link's spiritual deconstruction, I've wanted to hear them talk about it with Pete specifically.

[@TheMellyfosho]

Yes same here! Pete asked Rhett questions I’ve wondered related to Richard Rohr’s work and the process of reconstruction/ how Rhett views the world now. Great conversation

[@sxt4447]

This was an incredibly interesting episode, thank you both for being so vulnerable. I recently returned to Christianity after losing my faith some years ago for similar intellectual reasons as Rhett. What I think is interesting and also quite sad is that throughout my spiritual journey thus far, I’ve come to the conclusion that Jesus’s teachings were never meant to be religious in the way we understand them now. For one, his intention was to free other Jewish people from the dogmatic religious thinking of that time and to liberate people from the oppressive colonial structure that was the Roman empire at the time. Ironically, Evangelical Americans are now repeating the same patterns that Jesus meant to free us from. I think we need to stop boxing Christ into such a worldly, hierarchical structure like the church has become today and build a personal, intimate spiritual relationship with God that is founded in love and is honestly no one’s business unless we choose to share it with others like you have both so graciously shared your journeys with us. Just a thought ❤️

[@josef2012]

Well said.

[@thomasgutierrez991]

🙏 Amen 🙏

[@CaptainJ62]

Interesting, I’ve never left Christianity, but I’ve come to more or less the same result. Makes me think maybe we have a point ;).

[@xorret1]

It's incredible that you guys can just change the rules as you go. Complete insanity to watch from the outside looking in.

[@CaptainJ62]

@@xorret1 All due respect, I don’t believe that’s what’s being gone for here. If anything, it’s more that the church has, to a certain degree, lost sight of what’s actually important, that being, a personal and intimate relationship with God. Don’t get me wrong, the church still does plenty of good, but some of us Christians have seen that there’s more to it. I would say it’s more like how scientific facts change regularly based on new discoveries, in this case personal and spiritual discoveries. Regardless, God bless you, my friend.

[@themacauleyprojects1518]

Ive been binging GMM and YMIW the past few months so this was perfect. Hopefully you also get Link back for a solo episode too!

[@socaligirl24]

could not be more excited for this

[@matthew6427]

I've been an atheist my entire adult life. Right after "confirmation" I was to decide if I wanted to continue & I declined. I liked that it was my decision to make, and being such a science nerd I couldn't consolidate the two. I don't have anything against people who are religious at all, I have friends of several different faiths. I don't say anything to them about & they keep their faith to themselves. I think people are too quick to point out differences these days just to fight. Religion & politics are the first things people want to talk about. I appreciate their fervor but it's not a nice thing to talk about. Let's find out similarities first.

[@Noneofyourbyisness]

This was a fun ride! Love seeing Rhett more outside of GMM!

[@jordan101096]

[@luciferianjesuslover9453]

Two of my favorite people on the internet

[@PanthorPapa84]

This popped in my head while watching. What if god is like the force? There is a belief out there that we all return to one source. What if all religions are a mix of the correct information with human error? Some people believe that we are reincarnated, some people call the afterlife home, some religions have no hell. What if our energy only goes home once it has reached balance and if you die unbalanced your energy becomes the forces of nature until they reach balance. If your evil your whole life you die and your energy becomes a destructive storm that harms or even has a few fatalities, but the storm knocked over dead trees, washed away population and more good that a biologist could go kn and on about then after the storm the energy returns home. A good person that only does good without harming themselves or otheres dies and their energy goes into that exact same storm. This could be the case for all livimg things. I am you, you are me, we are the birds that sing and the fish that swim. But what about the flesh and bones? That is part of a cycle that returns to energy just much slower. That's just what popped in my head

[@vorpled]

Pete, you should read Lamb by Christopher Moore if you haven't already. The subtitle is "The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal". It covers the missing years that the Bible doesn't cover. It's hilarious, deep, and if it was a movie they would say "Some parts of this story based on true events".

[@RobCamp-rmc_0]

Here to second this. Damn good book, I think I may have to give it another read

Couldn't be happier to have left my faith. I prefer to believe in things that have evidence for their existence.

Went to a Born Again Christian school from pre-k thru 8th grade, then a Catholic high school, and church every Sunday....once I graduated, I told my mom I was over it. I didn't need the mythology to be a better person or to ponder the nature of my soul (the latter of which just seemed too self absorbed and privileged). Semi agnostic personally, but politically I'm militantly atheist.

Knew nothing about Pete and only knew about Rhett from watching Rhett and Link many years ago. I was ready to cringe thinking it was gonna be something Christian-y Jesus-y and it turned out to be anything but! What a beautiful and interesting conversation!

[@andrewdunn8778]

I was hoping one of you would mention that a lot of old torture devices were either made up wholesale or there is no historical evidence for them actually being used. A lot of these things were sort of a Victorian tall tales. The iron maiden was just something cool somebody thought of and built one and then said it was centuries old. Chastity belts are the same. Also, apparently to some extent, the idea of "The Dark Ages" is a little exaggerated

It actually annoys me that Rhett gets mad that his wife doesn’t get mad. I’ve had people get mad at me for being completely calm under pressure, they say “well you just don’t care” and it’s like no I care but me freaking out and whining about it won’t help the situation in fact I almost always end up being quicker and more efficient because im calm. I’ll never understand highly emotional people I feel like people that can’t control their emotions often get mad when you are calm 😂. Like chill out guys.

I'd recommend you look at Christian apologetics here on KZbin! It might sway you either way, but if you're looking for philosophical grounding for your faith, I'd definitely recommend it. Once you decided whether or not it makes sense to believe in a God, you can move on to looking at the historical Jesus. Nabeel Qureshi has a video on it. Hope it helps!

[@flyguyty33]

Well don’t listen to these guys if you still want to believe. If you are having doubts, I guarantee you aren’t praying or seeking God. Start to put in the work and let your eyes & ears open. God will reveal. Also love others and do good deeds for others. God will show up, I promise. I’ve been where you are and it was because of my own doings. I wasn’t seeking God and was trying to fit into the world’s standards.

[@Dreammovieofficial]

I grew up Christian when my dad got saved when I was 7. He became a worship leader and I grew up going to church, believing and having different experiences with God. The problem is, “the pure in heart shall see God” when I was young my relationship with God was more easily accessible and stronger because it came natural as I was innocent. When I got into high school I went the complete other way. I never lost my faith but lost my relationship to porn addiction and social status, and all pursuits of myself. It wasn’t until I had a moment of seeing God in another man’s life and the Holy Spirit in Him reminded me of what life was and why I was truly here. I surrendered my life to Jesus fully knowing that it would cost me friendships, dignity, and possibly the career I wanted & at the moment the Holy Spirit fell on me deeply and the weight and darkness I felt immediately left and a feeling of being totally cleansed by Jesus flooded my being . I sought him in the darkness of my trim, surrendering all and he saved me then. That’s when I gave my life to Jesus in 2015 and my life has never been the same. Jesus is King. It’s not about feelings, it’s about truth, Jesus is the truth. Seek Him not to prove him, seek Him not to gain what you want, seek Him not to demand answers for the problems in your life, seek Him to know your father and receive his Love for you. Surrender to Him in humility and he will fill you and never leave you
