Purchase a copy of Wayward here*: https://amzn.to/499MuB3When Alice Greczyn's parents felt called by God to exchange worldly employment for heavenly provision, they followed their faith into homelessness with five children and a cat in tow. Homeschooled and avowed never to kiss a man until her wedding day, Alice had plans to escape the instability by becoming a missionary nurse--plans that were put on hold with the opening of an unexpected door: the opportunity to be an actress in Hollywood. What followed was a test of faith unlike any she had prepared for, an arranged betrothal she never saw coming, and a psychological shattering that forced her to learn how to survive without the only framework for life she had ever known.✖️✖️✖️CONNECT WITH THE SHOW:- preacherboyspodcast.com- https://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/- https://twitter.com/preacherboysdoc- https://www.instagram.com/preacherboysdoc/To connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/*Note, as an amazon associate I receive a small commission from any purchases.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/preacher-boys-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This epoisode is sponsored by Better Help. Hey everyone! It's ANOTHER remix episode of A Little Bit Culty because: It's always good to take some time to look back and reflect. PLUS we're currently working our tails off on a batch of all new, farm fresh episodes for a brand new season. Until then, you can always join us over on Patreon - that's patreon.com/alittlebitculty for new weekly episodes, adfree, and other treats. But right now? We're about to get in the weeds of one of our favorite topics with some of our fan favorites. On todays episode we are diving head first into the fucked up world of abstinence pledges, purity rings, and knee length skirts. That's right, we are going deep in the purity culture discussion and we aren't pulling out. Joining us are three powerhouse guests. First is the most rockin' reverend we've ever met. Nadia Bolz-Weber is an ordained Lutheran Pastor, and founder of House for All Sinners & Saints in Denver: a progressive, queer-inclusive Lutheran congregation. She's written three New York Times bestselling memoirs, including Shameless: A Sexual Reformation, which takes on what she sees as the harmful ideas about sexuality that Christianity has promoted throughout history. She's the creator and host of The Confessional podcast, a pop-up prayer network called The Chapel, and a wildly inspirational Substack called The Corners. Next up is Alice Greczyn - an actress, author, and founder of Dare to Doubt. Her story includes a painful yet rewarding transition from Christianity to atheism, a journey that inspired her to found DaretoDoubt.org, a resource site for people detaching from belief systems they come to fnd harmful. And last, and probably least, Eric Skwarczynski is the host and creator of the Preacher Boys podcast, which is a platform for survivors' stories about a deeply disturbing pattern of sexual predation and abuse claims within the Independent Fundamental Baptist movement. You won't want to miss a single second of todays show, so let's get started with our personal Fuck You to Purity Culture, featuring Nadia Bolz Weber, Alice Greczyn, and Eric Skwarczynski.

Konrad goes toe to toe with an ex-Christian Atheist named Will, who creates content critiquing the Christian worldview. Alice tries to convert a Christian lobbyist named Chris from the Australian Christian Lobby.We discuss:Arguments FOR churches paying taxes:Separation of religious organizations from other non-profits.Churches should be held accountable and have a more complicated tax system.Financial transparency is necessary to ensure money is spent appropriately.False counseling services and lack of regulation are concerning.Churches should be taxed like businesses to ensure accountability.Arguments AGAINST churches paying taxes:Complexity of church structures makes it impractical to tax them.Keeping churches tax-exempt helps to keep them out of politics.Churches provide valuable services like non-government healthcare and counseling.Mega churches should be held accountable, but not all churches are the same.The right to engage in politics is justified if supported by people who pay taxes.PLUS super ep content! Konrad and Alice drop their filters and share their honest thoughts about being triggered by Chris from the ACL.

She has an IMDB page!This week's Patron of the Week is Jay Gu! Thank you for the support Jay!Jessica is a mental health professional in Texas, and she's called in to speak about the struggle of being true to your beliefs while providing care to folks who don't always share your worldview. Alice recommends the Secular Therapy Project as a resource for maintaining Jessica's integrity, and Dan shares how his own nonconformity contributed to his own deconversion. We also find out a bit more about Dan's family's contempt of male jewelry.Second is Jay, who quizzes our hosts on their knowledge of how the Bible treats women. Dan and Alice are down for a quote battle. Despite Jay's claims that we haven't read the Bible, ours host's response call is clear evidence to the contrary. We get the weak argument for context. Context. CONTEXT! Jay isn't listening, We close out with some misogynistic garbage from Jay, and this show notes writer is fed up. Gay people work in construction, women are mechanics. We see it every day. Get stuffed.Adam's up, and he is super miffed by the misrepresentation of the null hypothesis. For someone who isn't familiar with the concept, Alice gives a great response. Dan speaks to the nomenclature of miracles, and how that might apply to our caller's topic of conversation.Our penultimate caller is Jan, with a story of how purity culture affects our sex lives. Dan illustrates the absence of consent in biblical conceptions of sex, and both hosts agree that we've moved on from these ancient concepts of what constitutes a healthy sex life. Sex good, dogma bad.Finally, Drew wants to talk about incest and genetic viability from a Biblical perspective. Our hosts agree that the stories in the Bible are scientifically impossible. Alice talks about how inter-marriage in European monarchy is an example of why this can be dangerous. Hapsburg jaw anyone?That's a wrap folks! Thank you for joining us, and never don't not keep unwanting the truth!

Guest: Alice Greczyn. FFRF attorney Sam Grover updates us on the oral arguments in our "Do mess with Texas" lawsuit before the federal 5th Circuit Court of Appeals challenging Gov.

Today I'm speaking with two people who've recently published memoirs about their lives in and out of fundamentalist/evangelical Christianity. Alice Greczyn, author of “Wayward: A Memoir of Spiritual Warfare and Sexual Purity,” is a former devout evangelical who went from homeschool to Hollywood. She's an actress and model with extensive credits in television, film, and print media. As a thinker and writer, she's the founder of “Dare to Doubt,” a website offering resources for those seeking to escape or recover from harmful belief systems. Dave Warnock, author of “Childish Things,” joined the Jesus movement in the '70s, became a pastor for many years, and then left the church altogether. Diagnosed with ALS in 2019, he's a frequent public speaker and podcast guest on the theme of “Dying Out Loud.” He's also the co-host of his own popular live call-in show on YouTube, “That GD Show.” I read their books last week, then found out Alice happened to be visiting Dave at his rented beach-house this week, so I jumped on the opportunity to interview them both together. “Childish Things”: www.amazon.com/dp/B09RMBWZX1 “Wayward”: amazon.com/dp/1632993546 Dave's website: daveoutloud.org YouTube channel: youtube.com/c/DaveWarnockDyingOutLoud Facebook: facebook.com/DaveWarnock.DyingOutLoud Instagram: instagram.com/warnockpa/ Alice's website: alicegreczyn.com Dare to Doubt: daretodoubt.org Instagram: instagram.com/alicegreczyn/ Twitter: twitter.com/alicefood This ad-free podcast is supported by Sam's Torode's books, including “Living from the Soul: The 7 Spiritual Principles of Ralph Waldo Emerson,” available at samtorode.com.

The always amazing Alice Greczyn joins John and Seamus to discuss her compelling book "Wayward"
My returning guest this week is Alice Greczyn. Alice has written a new memoir called Wayward: Spiritual Warfare & Sexual Purity. In it, Alice tells the harrowing story of growing up in an Evangelical family that attempted to live by faith. They moved from place to place believing the “Lord would provide.” Alice describes it as being “homeless.” Alice came of age under the oppressive sexual and purity mores of the “Kiss Dating Goodbye” era. She tells the story of being shamed while on a mission trip to India for being “flirty.” As an adult in her 20s, in a desperate but final act of faith, Alice tests God. God fails. And Alice begins the difficult process of letting go of faith. This is a dark time of panic attacks, depression, and self-harm. With the help of secular therapy and the discovery of the term, Religious Trauma Syndrome, Alice began her recovery process. She studied the science of faith, neurotheology, and began to understand herself and those around her who still believed. In this new freedom, she rebuilt her life reclaiming her autonomy and discovering what real love feels like. On top of being an author, Alice is an advocate for those questioning their faith. Her organization, Dare to Doubt, is a resource for those who are no longer satisfied with their faith tradition's explanations and demands.

Actress Alice Greczyn joins John and Seamus to discuss her project Dare to Doubt as well as such topics like psychedelics, NDEs, Religious Trauma Syndrome, nihilism, and reclaiming what it means to be a #WaywardWoman!
My guest today is Alice Greczyn. Alice runs the Dare to Doubt website dedicated to millennials who are detaching from harmful belief systems. Alice tells her story growing up with purity culture, Christian Courtship and Alice's nearly arranged marriage. She describes being an atheist while surrounded by LA spirituality. She tells the story of cult-like acting classes. As a Christian she felt she had to fake spiritual experiences because others around her seemed to be having them but she never seemed to hear from god. Her honesty stopped her from claiming spiritual experiences she knew were not real. While watching the Jesus camp documentary, she asked herself, "how many of them are faking it?" Alice recognized that other spiritual paths still required faith. She could not accept them because she could no longer lie to herself. She had grown to recognize when she was trying to lie to herself to "make things real." "I became not so great at lying to myself, I recognized when I was trying to make something real." Dare to Doubt walks the tricky line to be welcoming to atheist and those just beginning to dip a toe outside of the belief waters. "I built the site that I wanted and that I needed that I wished I could have found when I was deconverting" Alice is interested in studying why there are not more out women atheists and what causes non-believing women to hesitate to identify as atheists. "1% of women identify as atheist, I need to come out of the closet." Alice recommends the Secular Therapy Project to find a therapist who will not push spirituality on you while you recover from your religious trauma. "I feel so much more love and so much more peace as an atheist than I ever felt as a Christian."
