Description
TW: This episode includes mentions of sexual abuse, extreme spiritual abuse, and a suicide attempt. Angie Jay, spiritual abuse survivor and political activist, joins Chuck and Brady to share her horrifying, Evangelical experience when she served as a missions intern at the age of 18. Far from home and family, the missions organization leadership forced her to describe -- in mixed company and with great detail -- the long history of sexual abuse she had experienced, which started when she was only 2, in order to "heal." When the leaders felt Angie wasn't responding to their abusive counsel in the way they wanted, the main male leader took the situation to a horrifying new level. Her told her the sexual abuse left a demon in her that he needed to remove. And without her consent, that's what he attempted to do. The complex nightmare continue when she returned home and much of her home church leadership believed her abusers over her or showed her no empathy. Listen to see how Angie discovered a better life after on this episode of The Life After Podcast, hosted by Chuck Parson and Brady Hardin.   The Life After Podcast and Community | We Hold Space for Those Leaving Their Faith in a Secret Facebook Group and Slack Channel. thelifeafter.org | patreon.com/thelifeafter keeps us going and growing.
