I talk with Dr. Amanda Brees — counselor, researcher and reiki/yoga/meditation teacher — about her journey into alternative "New Age" therapies, reconciling them with her faith and ultimately publishing a dissertation on how these therapies fit within the Christian faith. Overcoming tons of criticism and fear in churchy circles, she pushes forward a vision for seeing these practices embraced Evangelicals and helping individuals heal trauma.

I talk with Elizabeth J. Taylor, serial entrepreneur, climate activist and American expat about her journey from a conservative culture, where climate change was scorned or denied, to environmental activism. We talk about why mainstream Christianity had such a hard time accepting climate realities in the early 2000s, share memories from creationism classes and also get into her experiences growing up as a Latina and feeling that white church or white Christianity were somehow better.

Raise your hand if you: bought backpacking gear (before it was cool) for a mission trip? 

attended a purity ball? 

know every word to every Zoe Girl and Superchick song?

thought your worship leader was a legit celebrity?

If you relate to any of the above, you belong here. The Evangelical Christian 90s shaped us, and now we wonder, did we grow up in a cult?

In this podcast, we bond over the way we were raised, and share our journeys of leaving that world behind and seeking to become emotionally healthy, conscious, and thriving adults.
