Eric Skwarczynski - Preacher Boys: Exposing the IFB

Eric Skwarczynski - Preacher Boys: Exposing the IFB
DIVORCED: Independent Fundamental Baptist, Christianity

CW: Child abuse

Eric Skwarczynski is an ex-fundamentalist on a mission to shed light on the darker sides of high-control religious environments. As the host of the Preacher Boys podcast, he interviews survivors, experts, and authors on topics such as trauma recovery, mental health, power dynamics, fundamentalist thinking, and relationships.

Today Eric shares about his experiences growing up in an IFB family and school, including why he left the IFB – and eventually divorced religion altogether. He also shares some of the pushback he receives for his work as a podcast host exposing IFB abuse.

Eric's work has been featured in the Peacock documentary Shadowland and news outlets like CBC. He also appeared in the four-part documentary series Let Us Prey: A Ministry of Scandals, now streaming on Max.
