On this episode of Backsliders, we talk with our lovely and talented friend Nikki McKenzie. Nikki was raised Catholic and still goes to mass sometimes, but her beliefs about God have evolved in big ways over time. We talk with Nikki about the Catholic ritual of confession, her time as an altar boy, how diverse churches have way better choirs, and her cute habit of writing notes to Jesus as a kid. Other fun topics include past life regressions, “seasonal abstinence,” nightmares, and more.
