Sinner or Saint: Will Retherford on Navigating Religious Waters

Published: March 20, 2023, 4 a.m.

There\\u2019s certainly no shortage of groups that are A Little Bit Culty. That said, there are some major differences between cults and organized religions, and it\\u2019s worth remembering that not ALL religion is bad, per se.\\xa0

Our very own producer and editor, Will Retherford of Citizens of Sound, grew up in the Evangelical Church, specifically the Word of Faith movement, and even ventured off to countless missionary campaigns across the globe to spread the good word. He became a worship leader, was on his way to become a priest, and was committed to all things Jesus Christ until he realized that, perhaps, his entire life was built around something he wasn\\u2019t sure he actually believed in.\\xa0

In today\\u2019s episode, Will discusses his time in the church, navigating through toxic groups, leaders and doctrine, his deconstruction, and how he feels about religion today.\\xa0
