Welcome to Sunday Schooled- a segment where we talk about stories in the Bible and why they a) don't make sense, b) are toxic, c) led to our deconstruction.

Today, I get together with Tucker and we talk about the stories of Noah, Jephtah, and Job, along with aspects of our deconstruction and things that have helped us through it.

*This episode does contain adult language*

Some of the podcasts/authors Tucker mentions:
-God is Grey Podcast
-How the Bible Actually Works by Peter Ends
-The Liturgists Podcast

In this episode, I talk with Andrew Pledger- a religious trauma survivor who is LGBTQ+ and brings awareness to spiritual and religious abuse. He was excommunicated after a controversial interview with Josh Harris and his experiences have inspired him to pursue psychology to help survivors. He is now an influencer using social media to share his story and inspire others and I'm pumped to be able to be one of the ways to share his story, as it's pretty powerful.

Today I interview the wonderful Mariah where we talk about her upbringing, how the openness of her family influenced her, and the sexual education of people nowadays and why we should promote smart sex instead of safe sex! Mariah is spiritual so we do talk about how the church has influenced her. This was super fun and a great discussion so I hope you enjoy! :)

If you or anyone you know needs any information about sex, STIs, pregnancy, LGBTQ+ issues, etc, I HIGHLY recommend Planned Parenthood. We talk about resources in this episode and the biggest resource I can provide as a starting point is Planned Parenthood. I understand the controversy, especially in regards to religion vs PP, but this is a crucial and necessary resource that I highly recommend utilizing if you are in a place of uncertainty. They are trained for all things sex and can provide you with confidential care and treatments.
