 joined by Lindsey Williams to unpack what happened when I fed my old prayer journals into AI and asked it to analyze them through the lens of religious trauma. The results were eye-opening. We talk about growing up in evangelicalism, how tech can help survivors find language, and why healing starts with telling the truth—even to ourselves.
