This week’s guest is Sara. Sara grew up in a Canadian Mennonite community and embraced it wholeheartedly. She was surrounded by evangelical Christianity and she thrived.<br /><br />As a young adult, she married and followed her husband into ministry. While he led, she helped as was expected of her. It didn’t occur to her until years later how little her own leadership skills had to be set aside.<br /><br />Sara’s husband started deconstructing his beliefs before she did, but as he was learning, she was also learning. Years later, she knew he’d become an atheist before he did.<br /><br />It wasn’t easy, but they made space for one another to learn and grow and move down their own paths. Today, Sara is a spiritual director for others and doesn’t have a specific label for herself, and it works just fine.<br /><br />“There’s a whole host of ways of being in the world…”<br /><br /><b>Links</b><br /><br />Sara’s website<br /><a href="https://prairiethistle.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://prairiethistle.ca/</a><br /><br />Facebook<br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/prairiethistle" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.facebook.com/prairiethistle</a><br /><br /><b>Interact</b><br /><br />For quotes, recommendations, transcripts and more see the full episode show notes<br />https://gracefulatheist.com/2023/12/17/sara-christian-humanism/<br /><br />Join the Deconversion Anonymous Facebook group<br />https://www.facebook.com/groups/deconversion<br /><br />Graceful Atheist Podcast Merch!<br />https://www.teepublic.com/user/gracefulatheistpodcast<br /><br />Support the podcast on Patreon<br />https://www.patreon.com/gracefulatheist<br /><br />Secular Grace<br />https://gracefulatheist.com/2016/10/21/secular-grace/<br /><br />Deconversion<br />https://gracefulatheist.com/2017/12/03/deconversion-how-to/<br /><br />Deconstruction<br />https://gracefulatheist.com/2017/12/03/deconversion-how-to/#deconstruction/<br /><br /><b>Attribution</b><br /><br />"Waves" track written and produced by Makaih Beats<br />https://makaihbeats.net/<br />

This week’s guest is Beth. Beth grew up in a fundamentalist Christian home that revered James Dobson, Jerry Falwell and all those who created the “Moral Majority.” Her father was a pastor whose sermons centered on the End Times and protecting their families from the “shifting culture,” (read: all the movements happening in the 60’s and 70’s).<br /><br /><br />As a teen, she lived a double life, keeping plenty of secrets from her parents. However, as a young adult, followed all the rules with the expectation that the “umbrella of God’s protection” would take care of her. It didn’t.<br /><br /><br />It took decades of trying to do what was “right” and watching the promises of the Church come to naught before she finally took the leap out of Christianity. She now identifies as SBNR—spiritual but not religious. Beth is now able to trust her own judgment and make decisions that are best for her. No “umbrella of protection” needed.<br /><br /><br /><b>Interact</b><br /><br />For quotes, recommendations, transcripts and more see the full episode show notes<br />https://gracefulatheist.com/2023/12/10/beth-deconstruction-from-the-moral-majority/<br /><br />Join the Deconversion Anonymous Facebook group<br />https://www.facebook.com/groups/deconversion<br /><br />Graceful Atheist Podcast Merch!<br />https://www.teepublic.com/user/gracefulatheistpodcast<br /><br />Support the podcast on Patreon<br />https://www.patreon.com/gracefulatheist<br /><br />Secular Grace<br />https://gracefulatheist.com/2016/10/21/secular-grace/<br /><br />Deconversion<br />https://gracefulatheist.com/2017/12/03/deconversion-how-to/<br /><br />Deconstruction<br />https://gracefulatheist.com/2017/12/03/deconversion-how-to/#deconstruction/<br /><br /><b>Attribution</b><br /><br />"Waves" track written and produced by Makaih Beats<br />https://makaihbeats.net/<br />
