This week on the podcast, I am joined by longtime friend Lisi Axelson to talk about our shared experiences growing up in the same church.  In this episode we unpack the wrongful shame and lasting effects that resulted from a game of truth or dare as kids, she shares about growing up being treated as an outcast and “the example of what NOT to do” by the church and its leaders, and we both discuss our experiences and perspectives on the ways churches navigate the dynamic between guys and girls, especially as young adults.  This episode follows the topics and themes of Chapter 7, "A Failure to Communicate", in my book "A Jumble of Crumpled Papers".   Get your copy of “A Jumble of Crumpled Papers” here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BCD5PMX5/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr=      Connect with us!
