church trauma

This week in category is we review Beyoncé's Superbowl, Usher's performance and that's really the main focus. Mo'Nique gave a tell all interview and how 30% of adult Gen-Z identifies as queer. In Am I a Bad Queer? We respond to questions about "reverse racism" in dating, shifting from long distance to living together and not going to church weddings. Bad Queer opinions discuss how to get the straights to disagree with the anti-trans/LGBTQ+ laws and minding your business.

As a perfect follow-up to the previous episode on purity culture, the Going There team takes a road trip to Philadelphia, PA, for a special one-on-one conversation. Matt meets with Erica Smith, the creator of the Purity Culture Dropout program and author of My Sexual Values Workbook. Erica talks to her experience in working with clients traumatized by church and religious teachings on purity, what the healing process looks like, and all the ways it can rear its ugly head. Matt shares his candid answers from the workbook questionnaire as they unpack those things together, with authenticity and humor...and some 'that's what she said' jokes. Meanwhile, the Long Island group, The Belle Curves, provide an equally candid soundtrack.

Especially prevalent in the 1990s and early 2000s, the phenomenon known as purity culture reached a nationwide status and was echoed by the Evangelicals and moral majority.  It focused on waiting until marriage to remain 'pure' in God's eyes.  From purity rings, v-card declarations, body and sex shaming, anti-feminist ideologies and teachings of eternal damnation, this cultural issue impacted the lives of millions.  While it has largely dissolved into yesteryear, the trauma and emotional scars still wreak havoc on the survivors of this movement to this very day.  How has it impacted you?  Has it had any effect on your friends, family, or significant others?  And how can we heal it?  The music of Dissimilar South provides some sweet therapy in the process.

Tom shares a few more stories about how his upbringing taught him to hide, be afraid, and bend the rules. He uses this time as a mini therapy session, as he confronts the fact that he still doesn't feel free of the Brethren.

Series: An Open Letter to the Church

This episode of church hurt is NOT like one that you have ever heard before! The Kings’ along with special guest Dr. Kerry-Ann Zamore Byrd, dive deep into the different variations of church hurt. From church hurt that Pastors and leaders deal with, all the way to those who have left the church. Feel free to share as this is definitely a conversation that need to be heard.

Episode 25 was inspired by a viral Facebook post asking church drop outs why they left the church. After reading the comments Brooke and Eric discuss the realness of church hurt, the reality of church drop outs, and the redemption of those who stay.
