Rabbi Brian interviewed on Snarky Faith Radio Podcast.

Podcast Notes

Rabbi Brian Mayer is a beautiful anomaly. He helps people feel comfortable enough to question religion, and seek out their understanding through mindfulness, research, and his own heartfelt stories. He’s the founder of Religion outside the Box – a digital congregation reaching out to people regardless of religious background or affiliation. He also runs the popular ‘The 77% Weekly Newsletter.’

Today, Rabbi Brian joins us to talk about looking for God outside of organized religion. His journey as rabbi led him out of the institution and into being a high school math teacher and beyond.

Join us as we talk about the evolution of faith, outgrowing places, seeking new spaces, and the God of your understanding. It’s fun and raw talk with two ministers of different faiths that somehow see the world through very similar eyes.

A Big Ask

May 27, 2026

Beloved, What I’m about to ask is a very big ask. You (probably) aren’t going to want to do it. But I’m still going to ask. Because it’s important. Very important. Stop hating. ✧✧✧ “No one is born hating another person… People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to

Slow Down, Good Sam

May 27, 2026

In 1973, researchers John Darley and Daniel Batson at Princeton University conducted a study based on the biblical story of “The Good Samaritan.” ✧✧✧ A little background on the story: Samaritans, in the biblical world, were not considered “good.” The phrase “Good Samaritan” would have sounded like a political oxymoron—something like “compassionate MAGA” or “patriotic liberal.” In the story, a

A Letter

May 4, 2026

Beloved, Let me tell you something I often say when counseling those mourning the loss of a loved one. “Unless you are a rabbi or minister, you shouldn’t be good at writing eulogies.” And then I add: “Let me give you a pro tip—think about writing a letter. Because you know how to write a letter and this way you
