“A boy stands on a station platform as a train is about to leave. Should he go with his mother or stay with his father? Infinite possibilities arise from this decision. As long as he doesn’t choose, anything is possible.”

This was the promotional tagline for the 2009 film Mr. Nobody, a film about choice, chance, and the anxiety about whether you made the right decision. In addition to these topics, the film also sparked discussion about freedom and fate as well as pseudoscience in movies. My guest to discuss the film was Steve Hilliker.

Steve deconverted from Christianity in 2005 while earning his Bachelor’s degree in Biblical Studies and planning to be a pastor. What followed was a major life crisis. Steve’s career path was gone and his wife was still a Christian. He worried about how they would raise their kids. He couldn’t find resources or community for ex-Christians and struggled with depression. Years later, Steve realized the importance for himself and others in discussing these experiences. In 2017, Steve started the Voices of Deconversion podcast to encourage ex-christian atheists & agnostics.
