044 - Sarah McCammon's Exvangelical Journey: Is Gaslighting Influencing Faith, Politics, and Society?


Listen Later

On this episode of The Gaslight Effect Podcast, Dr. Robin Stern unravels the complexities of belief, identity, and society with political correspondent and author Sarah McCammon.

Sarah McCammon is not just a seasoned journalist; she's also a voice of insight and understanding in the midst of today's tumultuous political landscape. But what sets her apart is her personal journey—a journey that intersects faith, culture, and the very fabric of American society.

Growing up in the heartland of Kansas City, Missouri, Sarah was immersed in an evangelical Christian community that taught her to fear God and never question her faith. But her worldview shifted when she ventured beyond the confines of her upbringing. It was during her time in the Senate Page Program, living in Washington, D.C., that she began to confront the complexities of belief and identity head-on.

Now, as a national political correspondent for NPR, Sarah brings a unique perspective to her reporting, drawing from her own experiences to shed light on the intersections of religion and politics in America.

Her latest endeavor, the groundbreaking book "The Exvangelicals: Loving, Living, and Leaving the White Evangelical Church," delves into the stories of those who, like herself, have grappled with their faith and ultimately forged a new path forward.

Join us as we explore Sarah McCammon's journey from evangelicalism to advocacy, uncovering the gaslighting tactics that have shaped our political discourse and the resilience of those who dare to challenge the status quo.
