In this episode, Rebecca Worthington shares her personal journey, from her upbringing as a Freewill Baptist, and to her years at Bob Jones University. She provides a candid account of the expectations and pressures she faced growing up, and the impact of purity culture and fundamentalism. Rebecca also discusses her experiences at BJU, from navigating its rules system to discovering her bi/pan identity. Her post-BJU years marked the beginning of a healing journey, unpacking family relationships, embracing her intuition, and exploring spiritual practices like tarot card reading. Listen as Rebecca reflects on her life’s trajectory, the lessons she’s learned, and her aspirations to help others heal from spiritual trauma.
