Mason Mennenga grew up in the early 2000's youth group purity culture era. His curiosity and determination to understand truth led him to deconstruct his beliefs and now he's a voice on social media and through his podcasts, A People's Theology and The Black Sheep Podcast! He brings humor and sarcasm to the deconstruction community, and I for one appreciate the laughs! Enjoy the journey, friends! It's a good one.

Stephen Knight (known on the internet as Knightopia) is not afraid to speak up for the least of these. His heart for the marginalized, his love for his fellow humans and his desire to see social justice in the world fuels him each day. His journey from working in a conservative mission organization, the Billy Graham Association and now fighting for the rights of human begins with Just Leadership USA is relatable, powerful and shows that our journeys are all very complex and important to get us where we are today!

You can find Stephen online under the name "Knightopia" on TikTok and Instagram.

But you won't find him on X (Twitter) because they suspended his account. (lol)

Stephen will be at The Wild Goose Festival this month in NC! If you're up for a great time with great music, speakers and events, make sure you check it out!
