251: Hannah Kay | Survivor Prom

In this episode of the Preacher Boys podcast, host Eric talks to Lauren Eggers about her experiences growing up in the Independent Fundamental Baptist church.  While Lauren's early experiences in the IFB church were largely positive, she started to discover that the world around her was far from perfect.  In this episode, we talk about: – attending Hyles Anderson College after the Schaap incident – the failure of the "Jericho Program" – the severe expectations on women in the IFB – Lauren's traumatic experience with a man who disregarded her wishes and took advantage of her, and the difficulty of sharing that with others.  I appreciate Lauren bravely sharing her story and I know it will encourage all who listen! ________________ Support the Preacher Boys Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/preacherboys  Purchase a Preacher Boys shirt, mask, sticker, or other merch to rep the show! https://www.teepublic.com/user/preacher-boys-podcast ________________  Find more stories regarding the IFB movement by visiting: – preacherboysdoc.com – https://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/ – https://twitter.com/preacherboysdoc- – https://www.instagram.com/preacherboysdoc/  To connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188 Our Sponsors:* Check out HelloFresh and use my code 50PREACHERBOYS for a great deal: http://hellofresh.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/preacher-boys-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy &amp; Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

250: Lauren Eggers | Overcoming Shame After Assault

Sheila Gregoire

Purchase a copy of She Deserves Better: https://amzn.to/40NMYZz  Armed with data from an all-new survey of over 7,000 women, the authors of The Great Sex Rescue reveal how experiences in church as teens affect women's self-esteem and relationships today. They expose common evangelical teachings that can backfire--the purity emphasis that can cause shame rather than good choices, the dating rules that can prime your daughter for abuse, and the one overarching belief that can keep her from setting healthy boundaries.  Instead, the authors advocate biblically grounded, freeing messages that are more about the dos and less about the don'ts. By reframing (and sometimes replacing) common evangelical messages to teen girls, this book will equip you to raise a daughter who can navigate the tumultuous teenage years while still clinging tightly to Jesus.  You can raise your daughter with the discernment to resist toxic teachings. Because she deserves better than a faith that keeps her small.  Sheila Wray Gregoire is the face behind BareMarriage.com, an award-winning author, and a sought-after speaker. Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach is a psychology graduate, Sheila's daughter, and the author of Why I Didn't Rebel. Joanna Sawatsky has a master's degree in public health and is a trained microbiologist, epidemiologist, and biostatistician.  Together they are the coauthors of The Great Sex Rescue and She Deserves Better.

249: Sheila Gregoire Asked 7,000 Women How Toxic Church Teaching Affected Them

Bob Jones

In episode #246, we discussed the resignation of Dr. Steve Pettit, president of Bob Jones University in South Carolina. Pettit took office in 2014, a year after a GRACE report that revealed how the college's leadership had mishandled numerous cases of abuse that occurred both on and off campus. Survivors claimed that in cases that took place at the school, proper authorities were not notified, and in many cases, victims in counseling at BJU were blamed for bringing the abuse on themselves. Many people hoped that Pettit's appointment would bring about much-needed change. However, on March 31, 2023, almost nine years after taking office, Pettit resigned from BJU. Just a few days before his resignation, he wrote a five-page letter that revealed several concerning issues about Dr. John Lewis, Chairman BJU's board of trustees. Pettit accused Lewis of holding off-site secret meetings without informing key university leadership, adopting a posture of secrecy and hostility toward the board and the administration. He also claimed that Lewis interfered with the reporting of a sexual harassment case to the school's designated Title IX coordinator, among other things. Pettit threatened to resign if Lewis remained in office. In a surprising turn of events, on April 6, Dr. John Lewis tendered his resignation as well. Dr. Steve Pettit (whose official final day at BJU is May 5th) issued a statement regarding Lewis’ resignation, saying, “Late this afternoon, I was notified that Bob Jones University Board of Trustees Chairman Dr. John Lewis has resigned from the Board of Trustees effective immediately. He has served BJU for 32 years as a board member and seven years as chairman. His desire was to honor the mission and vision of BJU and he worked tirelessly to that end. During his tenure, the University secured regional accreditation through SACSCOC and regained our tax exemption. I wish Dr. Lewis God’s best.” The reason for Lewis’ resignation has not immediately been given – it’s also unclear whether Lewis’ resignation will affect Pettit’s decision to resign. Regardless, it's clear that change is coming to Bob Jones University. ________________ Support the Preacher Boys Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/preacherboys  Purchase a Preacher Boys shirt, mask, sticker, or other merch to rep the show! https://www.teepublic.com/user/preacher-boys-podcast ________________  Find more stories regarding the IFB movement by visiting: – preacherboysdoc.com – https://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/ – https://twitter.com/preacherboysdoc- – https://www.instagram.com/preacherboysdoc/  To connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188 Our Sponsors:* Check out HelloFresh and use my code 50PREACHERBOYS for a great deal: http://hellofresh.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/preacher-boys-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy &amp; Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

248: Bob Jones University Chairman of the Board Resigns

Jinger Duggar

On this episode of the Preacher Boys podcast, Eric Skwarczynski chats with IBLP survivor Emily Elizabeth Anderson about Jinger Duggar Vuolo's new book, Becoming Free Indeed.  In this episode, Emily shares her thoughts on the book and its portrayal of the dangerous theology of Bill Gothard and the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP).  Emily talks about how she appreciated Jinger's specific references to the implications of Gothard's teachings and stories, even if they weren't directly stated in IBLP materials. However, Emily also raises concerns about Jinger's continued reluctance to hold her parents accountable for their role in her upbringing.  Another issue discussed in the episode is Jinger's problematic association with John MacArthur and her privileged position as a celebrity in evangelical culture. Emily brings up the experiences of other women who may have had different, less fortunate experiences.  Finally, Emily and Eric delve into Jinger's word choice and whether or not she accurately labeled IBLP as a cult.  Tune in to this thought-provoking conversation on the Preacher Boys podcast. ________________ Support the Preacher Boys Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/preacherboys  Purchase a Preacher Boys shirt, mask, sticker, or other merch to rep the show! https://www.teepublic.com/user/preacher-boys-podcast ________________  Find more stories regarding the IFB movement by visiting: – preacherboysdoc.com – https://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/ – https://twitter.com/preacherboysdoc- – https://www.instagram.com/preacherboysdoc/  To connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188 Our Sponsors:* Check out HelloFresh and use my code 50PREACHERBOYS for a great deal: http://hellofresh.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/preacher-boys-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy &amp; Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

247: “It’s Not a Tell All” | What Jinger Duggar Did and Didn’t Say in Her Book

In this episode of the Preacher Boys Podcast, Eric Skwarczynski talks about the resignation of Dr. Steve Pettit, the president of Bob Jones University. The resignation comes after Pettit wrote a five-page letter accusing Dr. John Lewis, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, of holding off-site secret meetings without informing key university leadership. Pettit also claims that Lewis has taken actions to obstruct and impede the university's Title XI investigation into a sexual harassment case. Pettit's resignation is a shocking development, given the hope many placed in him to bring positive change to the institution after the GRACE report revealed the mishandling of abuse cases at the university in the early 2010s. Eric reads much of Pettit's letter verbatim and discusses the implications of these allegations. ________________ Support the Preacher Boys Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/preacherboys  Purchase a Preacher Boys shirt, mask, sticker, or other merch to rep the show! https://www.teepublic.com/user/preacher-boys-podcast ________________  Find more stories regarding the IFB movement by visiting: – preacherboysdoc.com – https://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/ – https://twitter.com/preacherboysdoc- – https://www.instagram.com/preacherboysdoc/  To connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188 Our Sponsors:* Check out HelloFresh and use my code 50PREACHERBOYS for a great deal: http://hellofresh.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/preacher-boys-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy &amp; Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

246: Bob Jones University President Resigns

In this episode, host Eric Skwarczynski provides a scathing critique of a horrific sermon delivered by Evangelist Dean McNeese. McNeese refuses to call out predators by name, despite knowing their identities and instead promotes the idea of restoration for presumed predators. Furthermore, McNeese states that God will kill those who call out pastors "the wrong way," even if the pastor is morally wrong. These dangerous and harmful beliefs have no place in any religious institution and must be challenged and exposed. Join us as we delve deep into the disturbing world of toxic ministry and the individuals who perpetuate it.

245: Evangelist refuses to name PREDATOR PASTORS in disturbing sermon

In this episode of the Preacher Boys Podcast, I discuss a case of alleged financial abuse in the Independent Fundamental Baptist movement involving Pastor Ken Shaver. Shaver, the 62-year-old pastor of Greater Vision Baptist Church in Utica, was charged with theft by unlawfully taking over $10,000 but under $1 million, which is a class C felony. The charge is punishable by between five and 10 years in prison. I spoke speak to an anonymous insider who was formerly close to the ministry for more details on the case. ________________ Additional Sources: https://www.messenger-inquirer.com/news/owensboro-minister-charged-with-theft-of-thousands-of-dollars-from-church/article_8094f646-e1df-57cf-b41a-2f2c5ecbaedf.html  https://www.tristatehomepage.com/news/local-news/daviess-county/owensboro-news/owensboro-pastor-arrested-at-church-after-theft-allegation/ ________________ Support the Preacher Boys Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/preacherboys  Purchase a Preacher Boys shirt, mask, sticker, or other merch to rep the show! https://www.teepublic.com/user/preacher-boys-podcast ________________  Find more stories regarding the IFB movement by visiting: – preacherboysdoc.com – https://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/ – https://twitter.com/preacherboysdoc- – https://www.instagram.com/preacherboysdoc/  To connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188 Our Sponsors:* Check out HelloFresh and use my code 50PREACHERBOYS for a great deal: http://hellofresh.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/preacher-boys-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy &amp; Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

244: Unholy Heist | Kentucky Pastor Charged with Stealing Church Funds

Josh Duggar

I thought we had closed the book on Josh Duggar after his sentencing in 2022, but his name has popped back up in the news once again. For anyone who isn’t familiar with the story thus far – Josh Duggar, of 19 Kids and Counting fame has been at the center of numerous scandals. In 2015, it was revealed that he had molested several of his sisters when he was a teenager. In 2019, Duggar was arrested on charges of possessing child sexual abuse materials. He was eventually found guilty in December 2021 and sentenced to 12.5 years in prison. But on March 17, 2023, a new development emerged. According to Insider, the original date set for Duggar’s release was August 12, 2032. However, recent online prison records show that he is now set to be released on October 2, 2032. No confirmed reason for the change has been made public, however, according to Fox News, Josh Duggar has been placed in solitary confinement for being caught with a contraband cellphone. Regardless of the reason for the change in Duggar's sentence, this news is significant. It means that he will spend more time in prison than originally expected - 51 days to be exact. My personal opinion? The more time the better.  ________________  Full Interrogation Audio: https://youtu.be/q1mHZim_mWM  ________________ Support the Preacher Boys Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/preacherboys  Purchase a Preacher Boys shirt, mask, sticker, or other merch to rep the show! https://www.teepublic.com/user/preacher-boys-podcast ________________  Find more stories regarding the IFB movement by visiting: – preacherboysdoc.com – https://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/ – https://twitter.com/preacherboysdoc- – https://www.instagram.com/preacherboysdoc/  To connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188 Our Sponsors:* Check out HelloFresh and use my code 50PREACHERBOYS for a great deal: http://hellofresh.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/preacher-boys-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy &amp; Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Preacher Boys Podcast

“This man was my boss, my pastor, my father-in-law, and the man of God in my life. When he started sexually touching and abusing me, it almost broke me. I was programmed to please him in all that I did but I knew this was not supposed to happen but fell into a sense of shock and repressed the memories as he would use my body for his deviant pleasures and sexual release. Grooming a victim for rape is about control, and he knew he had it. He began a years-long sexual abuse of me that further isolated and silenced me. In fact, after the initial abuse incident, I was so traumatized that I completely lost my singing voice. My two-plus octave range was reduced to a scratchy three notes. My heart was broken. I saw how expertly he manipulated and raped me. I would only have to imagine that several other victims exist because he clearly knew what he was doing, and he was bold enough to sexually violate his own daughter-in-law. This man knew how to get what he wanted and what he did to me hurt more deeply than I will ever be able to fully express. I was now his, and he owned my body to do as he wanted.” – Becky Calvert https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Vx6H3I7Y1PbGZ-1ta-ugzh3u3MVDaWCC/view (Download Becky's full written statement here): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Vx6H3I7Y1PbGZ-1ta-ugzh3u3MVDaWCC/view (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Vx6H3I7Y1PbGZ-1ta-ugzh3u3MVDaWCC/view)  Find more stories regarding the IFB movement by visiting: https://open.acast.com/shows/5e123e2b355ab8560d61f99c/episodes/preacherboysdoc.com (preacherboysdoc.com) https://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/ (https://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/) https://twitter.com/preacherboysdoc (https://twitter.com/preacherboysdoc) https://www.instagram.com/preacherboysdoc/ (https://www.instagram.com/preacherboysdoc/)  To connect with a community who share the Preacher Boys Podcast mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/ (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/)  Support the Show: https://www.patreon.com/preacherboys (https://www.patreon.com/preacherboys)  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This man knew how to get what he wanted and what he did to me hurt more deeply than I will ever be able to fully express. I was now his, and he owned my body to do as he wanted.” – Becky Calvert <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Vx6H3I7Y1PbGZ-1ta-ugzh3u3MVDaWCC/view" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Vx6H3I7Y1PbGZ-1ta-ugzh3u3MVDaWCC/view</a> (Download Becky's full written statement here): <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Vx6H3I7Y1PbGZ-1ta-ugzh3u3MVDaWCC/view" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Vx6H3I7Y1PbGZ-1ta-ugzh3u3MVDaWCC/view</a> (<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Vx6H3I7Y1PbGZ-1ta-ugzh3u3MVDaWCC/view" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Vx6H3I7Y1PbGZ-1ta-ugzh3u3MVDaWCC/view</a>) Find more stories regarding the IFB movement by visiting: <a href="https://open.acast.com/shows/5e123e2b355ab8560d61f99c/episodes/preacherboysdoc.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://open.acast.com/shows/5e123e2b355ab8560d61f99c/episodes/preacherboysdoc.com</a> (<a href="http://preacherboysdoc.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">preacherboysdoc.com</a>) <a href="https://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/</a> (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/</a>) <a href="https://twitter.com/preacherboysdoc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/preacherboysdoc</a> (<a href="https://twitter.com/preacherboysdoc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/preacherboysdoc</a>) <a href="https://www.instagram.com/preacherboysdoc/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/preacherboysdoc/</a> (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/preacherboysdoc/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/preacherboysdoc/</a>) To connect with a community who share the Preacher Boys Podcast mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/</a> (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/</a>) Support the Show: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/preacherboys" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/preacherboys</a> (<a href="https://www.patreon.com/preacherboys" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/preacherboys</a>) See <a href="http://acast.com/privacy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.

Father-in-Law / Pastor / Rapist

On this episode, your host, Eric Skwarczynski, sits down with ex-IFB member, Wendy Saddler. Wendy’s personal hell began 1984 at First Baptist Church of Easton, when she says Pastor Joe Thompson began trying to sexually groom her and other girls, eventually attempting to force himself upon some of them.  Wendy also saw firsthand the abuse of her mentally handicapped brothers by Pastor Joe Thompson and the Christian School – starvation, beatings, and verbal abuse.  She now spends her life outside the movement helping others understand their value and encourages them to remove themselves from abusive situations.

Sexual Predator in the Pulpit

Today's episode, Eric is joined by former IFB member, Rebecca Foltz. Rebecca shares about her experiences at churches at Northern California, Southern California, and Nevada, as well as at Golden State Baptist College in Santa Clara, CA.  Rebecca was sexually assaulted three times in thirty years, with two actively covered up by Hopewell Baptist Church in Napa Valley, CA, and the other by a church in San Diego. When she reached out to her former college president, pastor, and friend Jack Trieber about the third assault, he told her it was innapropriate to discuss and to do whatever her pastor told her to do.  Her pastor – on the counsel of the Christian Law Association – ended up firing her for it.

The Difficulty of Coming Forward About Sexual Abuse in the IFB

Peter Ruckman

On this episode of the podcast, host Eric Skwarczynski is joined by Joseph Tindle from Louisville, KY. They dive into hot button topics including racism and even politics – however, the episode is not about persuading the listener to a certain political position, but is rather about the larger conversation surrounding the concept of separation and getting outside of your bubble.

Racism, BJU, & Peter Ruckman

Your host, Eric Skwarczynski, sits down with Michael McNeilly, whose parents were on staff at Fairhaven Baptist Church and the associated Christian school in Chesterton, IN.  The harsh disciplinary measures used by the school, at one point, were covered on CNN – and many former students have come forward to speak out about the emotional manipulation and other harmful tactics used by the Fairhaven ministries.

Bullied by the Youth Pastor | Life Inside Fairhaven Baptist Church

Jen Lord found security, acceptance, and love within the IFB at a young age – but she realized quickly how conditional it could be.   She eventually ended up at Commonwealth Baptist College in Kentucky, where she noticed even more of the confusing demands being placed on everyone, particularly on the women.  She shares about how she learned to stop pursuing approval from others, the steps she's taken to exit the movement, and what she would say to those who find themselves in similar situations and ministries.

"Wear pantyhose, the boys love it!" | Life at Commonwealth Baptist College

Benjamin Williams

On this episode, your host, Eric Skwarczynski, interviews Benjamin Williams.  His father, Ron Williams, was the founder and director of Hephzibah House in Winona Lake In, which also has Believers Baptist Church – independent church that was started by my father on his own. His father and mother have years of documented abuse that has occurred under them to students in the home, staff children and even church kids – emotional abuse, spiritual abuse, mental abuse, and even physical abuse. His mother passed away, but her legacy of destruction and hurt lingers on in hundreds of lives that she damaged. His father is still a very proud man that believes what he has done is all ok and ordained of God.  Ben and over 250 former students want justice and the truth to be told.

"I Had to Divorce My Church" | Escaping Domestic Abuse in the IFB

Jack Schaap

In the intro of this episode, your host, Eric Skwarczynski addresses how IFB pastor Bill Reeves and his staff, plus other IFB leadership have been handling the Coronavirus situation by selling special tracts, encouraging people to attend their church in spite of CDC recommendations not to, and using the outbreak to guilt non-church attending believers.  For the interview, Eric is joined by Austin O'Hara.  Austen brings many unique perspectives to the IFB movement. As a transgender male, Austen describes the experience of being a female attending Hyles-Anderson College, the limitations of sex education, the lack of understanding regarding consent, and even what the experience was like when Jack Schaap was arrested.  He also discusses the parallels between attending one of the most notoriously strict IFB colleges and military service as a member of the Air Force, plus so much more.

God (AKA "Preacher")

Karen Kroft was in the Independent Fundamental Baptist Movement for 43 years.  She talks about being raised with immense fear of government and then, moving from one fearful situation to another when her dad moved them from Nebraska to Oklahoma City, where he served on staff at http://www.windsorhills.org/ (Windsor Hills Baptist Church) – a church she described as “more Hyles than Hyles.” The pastor was domineering, cover ups were commonplace, and the congregation was scared.   To give a sense of what type of place Windsor Hills Baptist Church is – consider this, https://kfor.com/news/okla-church-makes-natl-hate-group-list/ (The SPLC added them to their list of 20 hate groups operating within Oklahoma in 2013).  She shares what led to her eventual exit from the movement and – after 43 years experience – whether she thinks there is potential for reform of the IFB.  I’m so thankful that Karen was willing to share her story with us, and I know it’s going to be a huge encouragement to all of you.

The Sin of Questioning

On this episode, your host, Eric Skwarczynski, answers some listener questions.  Questions: How do you define fundamentalism? I grew up believing that it just meant the following: divine creator, inerred word of God, His diety (virgin birth, died for us, bodily resurrection), He will come back and establish His kingdom, and there is a literal heaven and hell. Does fundamentalism mean something different to these groups? Why now to create this amazing podcast? If you have left the IFB "Movement" (whatever that is) why are you singling out the IFB denomination and not addressing abuse within religious institutions as a whole? At face value this appears you just have a personal bone to pick with the IFB denomination when the issue of victims and justice extends far beyond IFB and in fact abuse may be far more prevalent in terms of frequency within other denominations and social groups. Why is there such a thing as "preacher boys?" At what point was the veil over your eyes lifted and you were able to see the IFB movement for what it was...? Who are some of the most egregious IFB villains? How many are seeing the issues within the IFB span all denominations? All have the same hierarchical, institutional, man-made structure. If that is taken away, what would Christians be left with? What did the disciples have that we don't? --- a passionate,fearless love for Jesus; wonder working power-- just to name a few. Why did you start this? What's your personal story?

Trouble in Paradise | Why an IFB Teacher Gave Up Her Job in Hawaii

On this episode, Eric sits down with Nicole Mitchell. This interview is a little unique due to the fact that Eric and Nicole attended the same church growing up and have many common experiences and connections.  Nicole talks about the reasons she was kicked out of three different churches, her time at West Coast Baptist College, surviving an abusive marriage, and, ultimately, her journey toward healing.

Environments of Control

​Tiffani Cappello spent many years struggling with depression and an anxiety disorder that was dominating her life and damaging her health. She suffered many traumatic experiences throughout her life, including the death of her own child and 5 years of debilitating chronic illness. As a result, she felt defeated by life and wound up believing many things about herself and the world that were disempowering. The beliefs she developed in the past were now haunting her future and preventing her from living a happy and healthy life.  ​ Believing she was unlovable and inherently defective took her life in all sorts of painful directions. She got married and subsequently divorced. She spent 15 years in an extreme Independent Fundamental Baptist church that taught her she was born a defective sinner and, as a woman, was inferior and subservient to men. After her divorce she dated men that were addicts and abusers.  ​​ After leaving the religious cult, she realized just how impactful our beliefs can be. Tiffani began to not only question the oppressive religious dogma she had once embraced, but also began to take a good hard look at all of her beliefs. She began a journey of personal development that started with reading self-help books and ended with Rapid Transformational Therapy.  RTT has changed her life and now, as an RTT hypnotherapist and mindset coach, she is able to transform the lives of other people the way her life has been changed. Tiffani now specializes in helping other people who are being held back in life by anxiety and lack of confidence.​  Tiffani Cappello http://www.tiffanicappello.com/ (http://www.tiffanicappello.com/) https://www.facebook.com/tiffani.cappello (https://www.facebook.com/tiffani.cappello) https://www.facebook.com/groups/154924288039752/ (https://www.facebook.com/groups/154924288039752/) https://www.instagram.com/tiffanicappellocoaching/ (https://www.instagram.com/tiffanicappellocoaching/)  Find more stories regarding the IFB movement by visiting: https://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/ (https://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/) https://twitter.com/preacherboysdoc (https://twitter.com/preacherboysdoc) https://www.instagram.com/preacherboysdoc/ (https://www.instagram.com/preacherboysdoc/)  To connect with a community who share the Preacher Boys Podcast mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/ (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/)  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

"You're Reading Yourself to Hell" | An Ex-IFB Member's Search for Peace

Bruce Gerencser

On this episode, your host, Eric Skwarczynski, sits down with Bruce Gerencser. Bruce lives in rural Northwest Ohio with his wife of 41 years.
