Hope Beyond the Mission (with Lena - Part 1) Back to Us

- Religion & Spirituality
*Content/trigger warning: talk of religious trauma, hypothetical end-times-type violence (yup! more rapture talk!), and slightly salty language.
Fellow Exvangelical Lena shares her story of growing up in a tight-knit missionary family. We discuss the dynamic of being heavily indoctrinated as a child, while also being enthusiastically encouraged to pass along this indoctrination to others in the mission field.
Lena shares about her journey out of this belief system, and the sense of hope and happiness that she's found beyond the confines of the Evangelical church. We also hear some wild stories about grown women tossing glitter around in church, childhood martyr complexes, and the experience of being labeled a "stumbling block" for men due to illicit "toe cleavage".
