Leaving Eden Podcast

In this episode, Eric Skwarczynski of Preacher Boys Podcast joins us to discuss the mental toll of learning that people who you grew up around are abusers.

(CW for discussion of child sexual abuse)

In our news segment, we discuss the legacy of John Macarthur and the variety of reactions to his death.

We also discuss the results of last week's patron poll about whether or not it is appropriate to put a PS5 on your wedding registry.

Join our Patreon to take part in this week's patron poll, available here!

In this episode, we discuss the streaming documentary Shiny Happy People: Teenage Holy War, which is available for streaming on Amazon Prime. In this episode we discuss the stories of abuse told by the documentary's contributors, the concept of martyrdom, and the ultimate failure of Ron Luce's "Acquire the Fire," "Teenage Mania," and "Battle Cry" ministries to achieve their goal of winning young people to Jesus. We also read a letter from a listener who attended "Day One," a large youth conference put on by Ron Luce's ministries in 1999. This event was historically significant because it coincided with the Columbine shootings, and was a catalyst for the prevalence of teenage martyrdom messaging within evangelical youth culture.

We originally planned on having a guest on this episode, but that fell through. We hope you guys like what we had to say about it!

Former star of TLC's "19 Kids and Counting," Duggar was convicted of possessing child sexual abuse materials (CSAM) in 2021 and still has many years left on his prison sentence.

Last week, we asked LGBTQ listeners what they would say to their younger selves! On this episode, we read their responses!
