Parenting Teens In Spite of Purity Culture

"The level of cognitive dissonance it would take for me to believe that I am uniquely 'favored' by God as a white, middle-class woman who lives in a wealthy, prosperous country and who has never gone a single day without all of my essential needs met is, frankly, nauseating." New on the site; link in bio.

"Sometimes I think leaving a cult-like religion is like almost drowning. You drag yourself out onto the shore, choking and raw and stinging, lost in what you thought you could trust. Knees run red from scrabbling over rocks, hands leave smears on salty cheeks. For awhile you just…lay there. Settling the dizziness, getting to know the ground under your fingers."

New on the site: "I was encouraged to listen and follow blindly. I was gently pushed into the mold of conservative evangelical wife and mother. I was told that my voice didn’t have equal value to those of the men around me." By Amanda Fraser. Link in bio 💜

Friday introductions! Hello friends. I’m Kimberly, she/her, The Exvangelical Parent.

"In the name of 'being loving,' friends and relatives insinuated that I was a heretic. They told me I was a false teacher and that I was leading others astray. A former boss was quick to let me know that, if I still worked for him, he would fire me because of my opinions." Link to full story in bio 🌈
