A proposito di questo titolo

 Backslider Diaries is a raw, honest, and sometimes darkly funny podcast about growing up Pentecostal — and breaking away. Hosted by two preacher’s kids, this show dives into the stories of religious trauma, bizarre church experiences, and life inside (and outside) the world of Pentecostalism. From cult-like control to personal liberation, they unpack the strange, the spiritual, and the scars — while also exploring other corners of religious culture and cults and the wider world through the lens of those who’ve lived it. A podcast for ex-Christians, atheists, agnostics, & anyone deconstructing.The Backslider Diaries Spiritualità

  • Are You Man Enough For God

    Are You Man Enough For God
    Aug 1 2025

    What does it mean to "be a man" in evangelical culture? In this episode, T and Lance unpack the suffocating gender expectations placed on boys and men in the church—where strength means silence, doubt is weakness, and spiritual leadership is always male. From purity culture to the "biblical manhood" narrative, we examine how these ideals distort identity, repress emotion, and alienate anyone who doesn’t fit the mold. It's time to ask: Who benefits from these rules—and who gets left behind?

    Deconstrucing And It Feels So Good
    Jul 24 2025

    T, J, and Lance — three former Pentecostal preacher’s kids — unpack how religious upbringing still shapes their lives today. From trust issues and emotional avoidance to feeling like love was always conditional and relationships were transactional.
