What's the most harmful myth you were taught by purity culture?

Just had a fascinating conversation with @lizcharlottegrant.bsky.social about her book, Knock at the Sky. It was fun to take a trip far off the beaten path of topics I usually cover, and dive deep into the literary text of Genesis and how it has been interpreted and applied over thousands of years.

This is how propaganda works.

It's impossible to please everyone. The question is whether you're disappointing the right people. Part of setting healthy boundaries is deciding who you're willing to let down.

What’s the best book you read in 2024?

Who should I interview in 2025?

Wishing all of you a wonderful holiday. Overwhelmingly grateful for the kindness and support so many of you have shown me since I started this show. Look forward to spending more time together in 2025. See you then! 🖤

It’s honestly appalling how many vitriolic messages and comments I receive from people who claim to be Christian. What’s even more frustrating is the glaring lack of media literacy among many of them.

“I’m not going to be a hypocrite when I’ve been in a religion of hypocrites for so long.” I recently appeared on the Divorcing Religion Podcast hosted by registered professional counselor Janice Selbie. I opened up quite a bit about my experiences grappling with faith. youtu.be/utnR_V3TAUo?...

“We often favor feeling right over being right.” - Adam Grant

Bethany Joy Lenz shared in her book, Dinner for Vampires, that when people hear she was part of a 'cult,' they’re often disappointed it wasn’t something in-your-face like Scientology or full of robes and rituals. Instead, it was just a small Bible study that spiraled out of control.

In case you were under the impression that IBLP had actually put some separation between themselves and disgraced founder Bill Gothard… This is from this month’s newsletter. 🤨 #ShinyHappyPeople
