Religion · Laci Bean, Lola Robbins
by Laci Bean, Lola Robbins
Deadly Faith is a true crime podcast that explores the world where religion and crime collide. The world in which some people take their religious beliefs a tad too far. Maybe they hide their evil behind their 'Man of God' persona. Maybe they start a cult, commit murder, or even believe they're the second coming of Jesus Christ himself. It's not a world full of sunshine and rainbows, but it's a world that needs to be explored. That's where Laci and Lola come in. So get ready for some deep dives, hard truths, and even comedic relief as they tell these heartbreaking stories.

The stories are good, and both of these ladies are good storytellers, but what keeps me coming back is the perspective they bring being deconstructed from the church and having healed from past traumas. They are trauma-informed, open to learning and having honest, vulnerable discussions. They aren’t just surface-level reading from Google searches, but offering reflective insight into the “why”s and root problems of these dark crimes. I appreciate you, ladies!
Laci and Lola bring true crime with care and compassion. Going up religious and working through my own deconstruction I also really enjoy hearing their personal stories. Not to mention the chicks, bunnies, and the rest of the gang!
I’m not religious at all but I followed Laci on TikTok and was excited for the podcast. Boy howdy some of these episodes are doozies, folks really are crazy as heck. They give enough info and background to make even the uninitiated like me understand and interested. Keep up the amazing work ladies!
I heard about this Podcast when I Google searched a specific story. I saw the podcast art with the words “Deadly Faith”. As a person obsessed and fascinated with cults and religious crimes I decided to listen on a whim. I immediately didn’t know how I felt but noticed about halfway deep I was listening intently and laughing super hard at Laci and Lola’s quick wit and super sharp punny sense of humor. As a person that appreciates female-lead podcasts, I was able to find quick contrasts to others of the like. Laci and Lola remind me a LOT of Karen and Georgia from “My Favorite Murder”, but almost like a younger version. That isn’t a dig at any of these women I mentioned. They’re all equally amazing and funny. I like the combination of girl power, true crime and comedy. I’ve added this to my favorites and I’m eager to do a deep-dive starting at episode one as I work overnight shifts and have lots of opportunities to listen. Thanks, ladies! Keep up the amazing work!
Seriously, you’re talking about people’s violent deaths, and often religious extremism. Can you at least TRY to take the subject matter seriously? I can’t imagine being someone who loved one of the victims involved and listening to these hosts gigglesnort their way through their recounting of how my friend or relative died. The cases are very interesting and I appreciate learning about the religion angle, but the delivery is extremely off putting.
It’s a cool idea for a podcast, and I somewhat liked it. But I just keep thinking how loudly uninformed they are. The Anthony Todt episode - they are so insistent that no one could ever overdose on Benadryl. Which is very, very wrong. The same episode, they blatantly do not understand the Christian Apocalypse. Do they do any research on their own topics?
