#004: Speaking Up about Toxic Religion and Narcissism with Andrew Pledger

In this episode, we sit down with Andrew Pledger, a religious trauma survivor, to discuss his experiences with toxic religion and narcissism. Andrew shares his story of being raised in a fundamentalist Christian cult and being expelled from Bob Jones University after a controversial interview with author Josh Harris.

We delve into the damaging effects of spiritual and religious abuse, and how it can lead to narcissistic relationships. Andrew shares his personal journey of breaking the cycle and using his experiences to inspire others.

As a psychology student and religion recovery coach, Andrew offers insight and advice for those who may be struggling with similar experiences. I hope you enjoy the episode!
