Nicki Pappas | Leaving the Toxic Religion She was Groomed For | As Familiar as Family

Trigger Warning SA
Today's podcast is too powerful for typed words.
I panic inside because I can't convey fully:

her powerful heart
her wisdom & courage
her ability to write about her past
WHILE paralleling her early adult steps
who gets to stay protected in an authoritarian system
her husband didn't look like revelation big ego propaganda "jesus"
Patriarchy hurts men!
what happened when she gave space for lived* black experience
challenging pastors in leadership
authoritarian theology (how it's killing us)
listening to our bodies
where to start when being honest
Her new book Becoming Egalitarian
