Emerging from a 2-year sabbatical to ensure that anger and pain wouldn’t lead her narrative, Nurse, Pastor, and Professor Beth K. Schwartz makes her podcast debut on Church Girls Gone Bad. 

During her time at Fuller, she found herself in a mid-life faith crisis, asking: “Is there a support group for people who have lost God in seminary?” After years of healing from her harmful Evangelical history, she now carries the belief that the Divine led her to and through this spiritual awakening. She offers her grief, hope, and encouragement for those also questioning things like biblical inerrancy, the patriarchy, and their place in the church.

Church Girls Gone Bad group text member, Heather Leith, joins us to discuss alllll sorts of things. We start out with the one question that will catalyze all our conversations from here on out on the pod, and then we go for a wild ride from there, discussing things like purity culture, full-time ministry, following rules, and learning to give yourself permission. You'll hear us get real honest about sex before marriage, masturbation, therapy, anxiety, the inner turmoil we had working at a church, navigating friendships as church kids, and more.

Hey there! Allow us to introduce ourselves. In this intro, we're giving you a glimpse into how these once all-in church kids ended up as the hosts of a podcast called Church Girls Gone Bad. You'll better understand how and when our faith started falling apart and hear us dive into things like: cheesy AIM screen-names, christian contracts, celebrity church culture, 2020 chaos, codependency, and more. You'll come out the other side understanding why we've got a lot of evangelical baggage we need to unpack. So let's do this thing.
