Ep. 242: Witches React to Ex-Evangelical Reddit Stories

Jason Louv and Temple Gold read reactions to r/exevangelical, starting with grandparents who never saved for retirement because they expected the Rapture, then a mother who drove her daughter to a church parking lot at midnight to read her diary back to her, and parents who turned away their own daughter but took in a disgraced ex-pastor for months. They talk about spiritual bypassing, religious trauma, true will, whether evangelicalism functions as a cult, and why "Christian witch" might be a contradiction in terms. They close on a lighter story about a cat named Beaker. Start Jason's free 15-minute Why Magick course.
