Listen "Tim Mills - From Missionary to Harmonic Atheist"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of If I’m Really Honest, I sit down with Tim Mills, aka The Harmonic Atheist — a former pastor-in-training, missionary, and Bible memorization champion who spent decades deeply invested in evangelical Christianity before leaving the faith at 42.
We explore his story of deconversion, the dominoes that began to fall during years of study, and how he now helps others heal from religious trauma. Topics include:
Bible quizzing and memorizing entire books
Missionary work in Papua New Guinea with New Tribes Mission (Ethnos360)
Comparative mythology and parallels between Christianity and older traditions
The psychological toll of indoctrination and why healing is a long process
Launching The Harmonic Atheist as a platform for storytelling and recovery
