    You Get To Have That: On Reclaiming Our Selves from Purity Culture

    Join Sarai and Meg as they discuss the lasting impact of purity culture on our bodies, sexuality, and sense of self. From shame-filled messages like “sex is bad, and your body is bad” to the process of reclaiming pleasure, power, and agency, we explore what it means to move from restriction into liberation. We can reclaim the things that were taken away from us when we were young to build vibrant, healthy, beautifully sensual lives if we want that for ourselves.

    Jesus as a Marketing Campaign: The Branding of White Christian Nationalism with Dr. Mara Einstein

    In this episode, Meg sits down with Dr. Mara Einstein, professor of media studies and author of the new book Hoodwinked, to dissect the billion-dollar “He Gets Us” campaign and the larger machine of white Christian nationalism behind it. We explore how evangelical marketing strategies are crafted to target vulnerable populations, why American exceptionalism is such a powerful theme in religious messaging, and how shifts in post-COVID culture, from rising loneliness to financial instability, are being leveraged for recruitment and control. From tithing campaigns that put churches before families, to courses and data companies shaping belief at scale, we trace how faith is being branded and weaponized as a political tool. But we also talk about resistance: how education, activism, parenting shifts, and even organized boycotts can disrupt this machinery and reclaim community on healthier terms. This is not just about ads—it’s about power, propaganda, and what it means for democracy when faith becomes a marketing strategy.

    From Quiet Time to Loud Self: Liz Boltz-Ranfeld on Reclaiming Spiritual Writing

    In this episode, we sit down with Liz Boltz-Ranfeld to talk about what happens when we take back the pen. For so many of us, writing was once locked inside the rigid frame of quiet times and journaling for the Lord. But Liz invites us to re-envision spiritual writing as something wildly more powerful: a practice of healing, resistance, and reclaiming our own sacred voice. This is a conversation for anyone who’s ever felt their words stolen by purity culture, evangelical guilt, or spiritual performance. Liz shows us how those same words can be reclaimed—reborn as rituals of self-tending, liberation, and joy. Let’s keep ghosting the past, and write our way into a future that belongs to us.

    We came to CULT slay! With Mica Ringo

    This week, Meg and Sarai sit down with Cult Slayer, Mica Ringo, whose Recovering Alumni blog played a key role in exposing the abuses of Teen Mania Ministries and giving survivors a voice as shown in the Prime Docuseries, Shiny, Happy People Season 2. Mica didn’t just tell stories—zir work helped bring lasting attention and pressure that contributed to Teen Mania’s collapse Blavity News & Entertainment ChurchLeaders. But our conversation isn’t about the docuseries, and it’s not about the past. It’s about the present and the future. We know that together we can dismantle cultic systems, reclaim autonomy, and discover that living well in the afterlife (after church) is not just possible—it’s the point. We talk cult takedowns, freedom, joy, and what happens when you ghost your old beliefs for good. Spoiler: it's a lot more fun.
