I used to think my observations were just a conspiracy theory, just the wild imagination of a girl who spent a decade in a cult. But I’m starting to think that Bill Gothard’s teachings have seeped into more of Evangelcial Christianity than anyone wants to admit. And while they seem benign at first glance, they are dark, deceptive, and damaging. It’s time to expose the lies for what they are! Find all of my stickers at my Etsy store: Be Simply You. Everything is restocked and ready to ship. 😁 I kinda love this trend because it gives people a chance to be warned. I’m not really here to create content or be a lifestyle influencer. I’m just here to share thoughts, make people feel seen, and provide a third way. So I’m pretty sure that the founder of YWAM had ties to Bill Gothard’s teachings. And if that is the case, it’s no wonder people have been damaged. 😭 @bbtbpod @johnnaraeharris Part two of my ranty lament about young adults, spiritual abuse, and Christian organizations like YWAM. And also, as a cult survivor who still loves Jesus, he is worth picking apart lies to find. I promise. 💕 Part one of two from my ranty lament about the spiritual abuse done to young adults in the name of Jesus at Christian organizations. I’m writing this with a mix of anger and deep sorrow in my heart. Heartache is a good word. It will probably be a bit of a rant, so consider yourself warned. The last twenty-five years have been a wild journey. Grateful for a Living God who showed up when I wasn’t even looking and pulled me out of the lies and twisted truths I was living in. Grateful to be able to share my story and use my experiences to help others. But it’s WILD that my weird story is suddenly so relevant. 😳 How come we have a whole demonic spirit label taken out of context and the guys get nothing? Hmmm??

    My Podcast is Here!

    Creating, editing, and  actually launching a podcast are intimidating things. When I first bought my microphone last October, I never suspected that it would sit unused on my desk for the next six months. Yeah… I’m not great at doing uncomfortable things. Obedience. It’s hard, frightening, and sometime yucky. But it’s also good. Obedience takes us past our own abilities and out of our comfort zones. It allows the Holy Spirit to become real in our lives. After realizing that publishing my book was going nowhere, I began to pray about what to do next. Every time I asked, God gave me a one word answer, “podcast.” I was initially…
