Andrew Pledger is sharing his story with us today all the way from South Carolina. We had such an incredible conversation with him and we hope his story and his passion will inspire you. He was recently expelled from Bob Jones university so of course we got the deets on that. Oh and if you see a toxic person ranting about prayer, walk the other way hun. Lets do this!

Honestly let’s talk about the amount of crimes committed in the Christian agenda and in the name of the good Lord, but also the “voices” are concerning…let’s hear about crusades, crimes in the name of Jesus, and some weird ass Facebook posts…

“[Christian nationalists] see it in cataclysmic terms: This is the moment, and God’s going to judge us,” “When you paint it in existential terms like that, a lot of people feel justified to carry out acts of violence in the name of their faith.” -Elizabeth Neumann, a former top official at the Department of Homeland Security who resigned from Trump administration in April 2020.

TW: Rape. Having a chat with my sister about growing up in an evangelical household and how they kept us from talking and seeing each other for a few years because she “was rebelling against god.” We also talk about ghosts, reincarnation, Christianity equals control, and how sexual oppression will stunt you for years.

Well, the title is pretty self explanatory. I feel compelled to share my story to reduce the stigma surrounding abortion as well as bring awareness and hopefully help other women who have had one to feel better about it or safe to share their own stories. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/cheerstoleaving/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cheerstoleaving/support
