  • Been there done this

    I come from a ministry in Lindale TX, too. High control group - LDM related organization with similar shenanigans. I’m the same age and era as the hosts. I was embroiled in the Pentecostal evangelical legalism of those days. It all sounds so familiar.

    I was highly influenced by Keith - still am. He’s a main reason I am focused on global health outreach today.

    So, a lot of this is hard to hear about Keith et al. These communes (I was on one - and provided lots of free labor) were very ... more

    The Grace and Levity with which Sharon and Tracey, bring to these powerfully painful subjects is a healing salve! Try it!!

    Hilarious, profound, respectful, crass, vulnerable, and gut wrenchingly honest. Oh, and did say: funny?

    It’ll make you want to barf one minute and burst out laughing the next.

  • How Can They Live Without Tracey and Sharon?

    Tracey and Sharon are insightful, honest, and a lot of fun to listen to. As a young Christian teen I was deeply influenced by the words of Keith Green, both through his music and collection of sermons, Cry in the Wilderness. Honestly, looking back they generally all contributed to a lot of self loathing and anxiety. Listening to Tracey and Sharon unpack their experiences has been a breath of fresh air, and have really helped me

    process what I was going through as a teen.

  • Sisters o'Mine

    As the daughter of a small-time high-control cult leader, operating in the fifties and sixties, this podcast

    is pure nostalgia! Sharon and Tracey bring welcome levity to an otherwise often difficult and painful history that they and so many others of us formerly fundamentalist, evangelical Christians swam in. Many laughs, and many thanks for a deep dive, and a light hand through murky subject matter. I feel like we're friends and co-sufferers and survivors of a life no one should have had to ... more
