86. Rapture Anxiety, the Pressure to Be Pure & Starting Over (Rebecca's Story)
About this episode
Rebecca shares her journey of overcoming rapture anxiety and the pressures of purity culture within Christianity.
Rebecca grew up afraid of hell, the rapture, and stepping outside of God’s plan. From the pressure to remain pure to a pastor refusing to marry her after she “fell into sin,” shame shaped some of her biggest life decisions. Years later, she discovered the Christian man she trusted had been living a double life that put her and her children in an unsafe situation. We talk about purity, charismatic Christianity, deconstruction, and Rebecca’s journey to untangle what she was taught from what she actually believes. Today, she serves on the board of The New Evangelicals , working to help create healthier spaces for people navigating faith and deconstruction. -
