    How to Reclaim Your Identity After Religious Trauma & Catholic Guilt

    Does the place that first taught you about love also quietly teach you shame? For many raised in strict traditions—especially Catholicism—belonging is often conditional. You’re told you fit in, but only if you behave, believe, and love within a pre-built box. When your identity breaks that box, the choice is agonizing: Do you abandon yourself, or do you abandon the system? In this episode of Unchurched, host Edna White sits down with Bill Hulseman, a ritual designer and former Catholic school principal, to discuss the intersection of faith, queer identity, and spiritual wounding. Bill shares insights from his debut book, six to carry the casket and one to say the mass, reflecting on his years inside religious institutions and the courage it takes to reclaim your own narrative. We dive deep into deconstructing faith, navigating institutional religious trauma, and finding the path toward spiritual agency. If your personal truth has ever collided with your religious upbringing, this conversation is for you. Learn how to stop working against your wiring and start leading with power.

  6. The “Obedience Trap”: How Fear-Based Faith Masks Emotional Wounds

    The “Obedience Trap”: How Fear-Based Faith Masks Emotional Wounds

    The “Obedience Trap” exposes how fear-based faith can quietly keep people stuck, silenced, and disconnected from their emotional truth. In this episode of Keeping It Real on Purpose, with Jeffery M. Lenard, we unpack how obedience is often taught as virtue—while actually masking unresolved emotional wounds, trauma responses, and people-pleasing survival patterns. This conversation challenges the idea that submission equals spiritual maturity and asks a deeper question: Are you truly aligned—or just afraid to question what you were taught? Together, we explore how fear-driven belief systems suppress self-trust, block healing, and confuse compliance with calling. If you’ve ever felt guilty for setting boundaries, afraid to use your voice, or torn between faith and emotional honesty, this episode helps you identify where obedience ends and self-betrayal begins—so you can reclaim clarity, agency, and a faith that supports healing, not harm. A necessary conversation for anyone ready to unlearn survival faith and step into grounded belief—on purpose.

    The Church's Bully Tactics: Healing Religious Trauma

    Is your relationship with God built on love or on sheer terror? That’s the core question we’re tackling with Pastor Brandon Moore. In this episode of Unchurched, we confront The Church's Bully Tactics head-on: the sermons, the guilt trips, and the cultural pressure that turned God into a Punisher. We discuss the freedom that comes when you stop running from a wrathful deity and start deconstructing the fear that has poisoned faith for generations. #FearGod #ChurchBullyTactics #DeconstructFaith #Exvangelical #ReligiousTrauma #PunisherGod #faithoverfear
