No transcript...

In this episode, Christy talks about sharing her more recent experience with spiritual abuse on her Substack last week. She explains that telling our story is important if we are going to create a culture where victims are protected rather than abusers. Christy then explains why she still believes in Jesus Christ, foundational truths about him that have been believed for thousands of years, and why she is still in church.

After learning about trauma informed care as a teacher this year, Christy has been thinking a lot about trauma and the way we should approach people who have been shaped by it. She relates this to the way she has experienced the Person of Jesus Christ for the last twenty-five years. Despite everything she has been through, it's as though the Holy Spirit has been pursuing Christy with trauma informed care.

It’s the same way He has been pursuing broken people for years.

Rethinking Faith
Religious Rebels
Christy Lynne Wood spent a decade in Bill Gothard's Institute in Basic Life Principles (as seen on Amazon Prime's "Shiny Happy People" documentary series). Homeschooled in this Christian cult, Christy was a good girl following the rules until Jesus unexpectedly showed up and changed everything.
As Christy got to know Jesus for herself, she began to recognize that the God she knew and the god her cult talked about couldn't be the same God. Once the good girl following the rules, Christy felt a strange rebellion creeping into her heart. But it wasn't rock music, college, or blue jeans that was turning her into a rebel (like she'd been warned), it was Jesus.
Twenty years later, Christy is still passionate about discovering truth, destroying lies, exposing religious Christianity, and helping others find a thriving relationship with the Real Jesus.
