Manage episode 328815122 series 2970381
Sarah Lussier joins the podcast to share her story of growing up as a missionary kid and how her experiences in missions impacted her deconstruction and eventual departure from Christianity, and how hard it was to come to the realization that the life she was living was a myth. She also digs into her thoughts on how and why people have mystical experiences and how religious trauma affects people in different ways.
