Hi friends!

This week we are back with a brand new guest, Jonah, who shares his story of leaving the United Pentecostal Church. When you leave church the first time as a "rebellious" young person, you often make your way back to try and find solid ground to stand on. Jonah found himself coming back and having a passion to help young people with their walk with God. But, their questions lead him to have his own internal struggle with what was being taught over the platform. the more he began to search, the less the Bible was lining up with UPCI beliefs.

This week Amanda is back to wrap up her story of leaving an Apostolic church. When Amanda decided she did not want to attend she could have never prepared herself for what came next. Through her marriage ending and a strained relationship with her children, she has found a way to heal and have a happy life.

This week we are back with a brand new guest who will be sharing her story of leaving a oneness Pentecostal church. Amanda, who was still in high school when she was married to a preachers son, recounts the moments that led her through the doors of a church for the first time and what ultimately started her journey out. A failing marriage, mental health that could not be addressed and so much more.

Ethan is back this week to talk us through his experience with leaving his church. We all saw others leave and be shunned but when it is our turn we assume they will not treat us as badly, but they do. So how do you leave and not become a worse version of yourself? How do you leave and find your footing when you are told that torment is waiting on the other side?

Hi Friends! This week we are back with our new guest, Ethan. Being raised in the independent section of Apostolic Pentecostalism, Ethan takes us through his childhood and what it was like. The questions that Ethan had were overshadowed by the fact his family was deeply involved and he was expected to follow suit. As we know though, the questions cannot be ignored forever and eventually we hit our breaking points.

Hi friends! Thank you for your patience in the delay of getting episodes back. This week is just a brief solo from me and full interviews return next week.

This week we are back with Andrew to discuss what life was like once he and his wife left the UPCI. Trying to figure out what you believe after decades of indoctrination is not easy but when former leadership begins to openly speak out against you, sometimes you have to push back.
