In this Thoughts and Prayers episode, Jessica and EDJ wade into the murky waters of what it means to engage with faith, critique evangelicalism, and still remain spiritually alive. It's part deconstruction, part spiritual therapy — with a side of sass.

They ask: Can you love Jesus but be done with church? What happens when purity culture gives way to embodied faith? And how do you hold grief and hope in the same breath when it comes to faith traditions that shaped you — and hurt you?

This conversation isn't tied up in a bow — and that's the point. If you're craving raw honesty and nuanced faith, this one's for you.

In this episode:

• Church trauma and the long shadow of spiritual abuse

• "Healing" and the commodification of it in Christian spaces

• Why it's okay to say "I don't know"

• The spiritual cost of being a "good girl"

• Rebuilding a relationship with the divine on your own terms
