Heather Cronk was a fervent evangelical from ages 13 to 23, until seminary at Wake Forest Divinity School dismantled her theology and left her agnostic. Twenty-plus years later, she started Project 2112 to connect roughly 15 million exvangelicals in the U.S. and organize them against Christian nationalism. In this episode of Cabernet & Pray, Heather and Jeremy talk about the guilt and shame that keep so many people stuck after deconstruction, what it takes to rebuild trust in other people and in yourself, and why she says the only effective organizing happens in community. You’ll hear how she holds space for a community split almost evenly between people who still call themselves Christian and people who never will.
