Leo Dickenson joins Josiah to wrap up Christian Girl Fall (Evangelicalism month at Fruitless) by talking about growing up as an evangelical homeschooler, the strange relationship to sexuality this environment fostered, the way homeschooling helps and hinders those who are neurodivergent, and the focus on aesthetics over coherent faith or morality that characterizes much of the homeschooled evangelical world. This is a messy one that's gets into some very personal anecdotes that were only shared because of the limited, paywalled audience. I'm saying this both as a way of thanking Patrons for supporting the show financially, and also as a general warning that we talk pretty bluntly about sex, misogyny, and neurodivergence in this one.

Hello! This is a reposted episode from a previous podcast I used to do called Very Legal, Very Cool. I'm reposting this episode as a way of introducing Leo Dickenson to the Fruitless canon since he'll be appearing on a Patreon episode I will be releasing within the next week. Enjoy.

In today's episode, Leo (@LCDickens) joins Josiah to talk about the discourse: Lil Nas X, Dr. Seuss, "cancel culture," evangelicals, exvangelicals, and why the internet sucks but can sometimes be good.

EPISODE ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/posts/hardcore-89265282Josh Christianson joins Josiah to reflect on Fruitless' Christian Girl Fall kick-off (the last two public episodes about evangelicalism). They talk a lot about evangelicalism's relationship to emotions, their personal relationship with music, the sense of living in the end times, and all sorts of other super personal stuff with juicy details that you only get if you support the show financially.

Josiah is joined by Josh Boerman (@boshj) from The Worst of All Possible Worlds to discuss growing up Reformed and evangelical, discovering "secular media," the general loneliness of American life that makes church attractive, and the way Trump broke the brains of so many evangelicals.
