Crooked Little Girl

I spent my first 40 years in the cultish Evangelical world, picking up many layers of cPTSD from family, religion and marriage. I’m rebuilding a new life as a single mom of five kids who has stopped homeschooling. Single moms usually work, but in 2020 Long Covid gave me brain injuries and nervous system damage, which means I lost the entry level jobs I attempted to work. This is a glimpse of my journey in leaving Evangelical Land and its magical, mystical promises. I’ve learned the hard way that God doesn’t pay your loans or stop domestic violence even if you make a covenant with Him.

    Holy Escapism

    It's a new realization that I might not die or be raptured today. I never thought I'd live past my childhood. Age 30 would never be reached, not even close. I was given proof every day for my first 35 years of life that Jesus is about to return and I will escape all the consequences of my current choices. Here's what that was like.

    The False Promise That All Will Be Healed

    Evangelicals introduced me to a God who heals everyone, in every way. Body, soul, finances, everything! That God was amazing. I'm learning that this was a false hope, held out by people who are afraid to live in the chaotic middle ground where some things are not healed.

    Not Allowed to Work

    God and my husband required me to put my Masters degree and any potential jobs on an altar. Today I dive into ways that Evangelical systems disconnect us from reality in very compelling, confusing ways.

    Why Printed Prayers and Church Structure Make Us Feel Safer

    My friend Alisa joins for a conversation that touches on too many interesting topics to list! She tells of her journey from Baptist to Catholic, the messy aspects of cultural church life in contrast to Jesus' original teachings, the ways liturgy can bring more freedom rather than less, and much more. Bear with our glitchy Zoom call audio issues at the beginning, it’s a great conversation! Alisa is my oldest friend, a writer, wife and mother, a deeply thoughtful and intelligent woman.

    Warped Temple

    The Bible passage about our bodies being temples of the Holy Spirit is one of the most triggering for me. Here’s what happened when it came up in the liturgy yesterday at church.
