  • What a beautiful offering....

    As someone who moved through many churches as a youth & who never really felt at home in the church, I am so happy to see such profound and sex-positive healing happening through a show like Sexvangelicals. I listened to their Banned Books episode featuring Deesha Philyaw, author of The Secret Lives of Church Ladies and was blown away by how deep and honest the conversation went. This show will heal so many people and I hope that those who have felt their sexuality controlled/stigmatized by the... more

  • Life Changing!

    My only regret is not discovering this podcast sooner! Julia and Jeremiah have openly discussed and put into words the internal turmoil I have lived for the last 30 years. I discovered the podcast about a week ago and I’ve been obsessed. I feel like I’ve had so many lightbulb moments in 1 week than I have in 10 years of therapy. The difference is that no one understands a religious upbringing unless they’ve lived it too. Julia and Jeremiah totally get it.

    I would love you guys to ditch the scr... more

  • YWAM😱

    I was a YWAMer in the late 90’s 2000’s. I NEVER heard this side of the story! I’ve heard Loren tell the story of later days ministry from HIS point of view! This is mind blowing! I’m looking forward to listening to the episodes on YWAM. I can see all of the disfunction now. It still felt comparatively better than most of my other experiences with Christian organizations. 🤦‍♀️

  • Disappointed

    I discovered the podcast recently and largely appreciated the first couple episodes, but I was extremely disappointed to hear recent guest Zachary Wagner repeatedly refer to “the transgenderism question,” which neither of the hosts challenged or corrected.

    “Transgenderism” is outdated, problematic language that stigmatizes the trans and gender nonconforming community. Framing acceptance of trans people as a “question” further enforces that we are somehow less than or other.

    That is the langu... more
