Meg & Sarai are former church kids who came of age in 80s and 90s American Evangelicalism - We are Holy Ghosting

In each episode, we tackle healing from our youthful experiences and the harm we endured and perpetrated as American Evangelicals, and we laugh, we're sarcastic ladies.

We're working to reconstruct a community that gives a shit about our neighbors. Join us as we work to tear down the American foundation of patriarchy and white supremacy and rebuild a better world with equity and equality as Ex-Christians.

To Hell with the Devil’s Holiday: How we learned to ditch the harvest party & embrace Halloween

Before we dive into the good, clean fun (explicit fun, so with all the swears still) of the episode, please take note if you are a human with regular human emotions. This episode contains a few campfire horror stories about strange events and spooky shit that happened in our youths. Content warning includes: demon possession, youth pastors grooming…well, youth, animal death (in a DEEPLY disturbing way), and, if you love Sarai’s conspiracy theories, there’s a real humdinger in this episode. For t...

Prayer is Just Casting Spells: an Interview with Dr. Melissa Bird, Christian Witch

Witches and Christians haven’t always enjoyed one another’s company (see: all of church history, witch hunts, etc), but what if there’s more to it than ladies with ergot poisoning who may or may not have rode brooms around the house as a way to…pleasure…themselves…and a systematic femicide perpetuated by the patriarchy? When we met Dr. Melissa Bird and heard about her work as a Christian witch, we had to know more. Join your triumphant trio of 40-something moms to learn how there just might be r...

Travel the World on God’s Dime! Short Term Missions

Something Old, Something New: a Tale of Two Mexicos Plus: save your soul and the world, inquire inside! If you were an evangelical in your coming of age period at the turn of the millennium, you or several of your close God-fearing friends took a mission trip (or dozens). Mission trips were like…I guess a wandering train of [Jesus] Freaks setting up shop in one nation or another. Instead of fortune tellers, strongmen, and bearded ladies, mission trips brought a gimmicky way to “spread the gospel...

The Proverbs 31 Woman, Capitalism & Naps

Chances are if you were assigned the tender feminine gender at your evangelical birth, well, ya probably have a lot of baggage and issues that stem from questionable portrayals of women in the Bible. Among the vagina-laden humans celebrated in the canon, we have everyone from a literal teenager, whose virginity inspired millennia of penis-havers to idolize purity, to the wily, vengeful Judge Deborah, who straight up murdered a Philistine with a wicked tent peg through the temple. Pretty badass, ...

The Object of My Affliction

In the harrowing days of puberty, evangelical young women and girls were foisted into a shame spiral that kept them tame and readily codependent for…maybe their entire lives. Their every move governed by the grave understanding that it was their job to “not cause your brother to stumble,” they walked about with hunched shoulders, tucked their butts, and generally shut their every desire or bodily sensation DOWN, and fast. They were especially horrified by their own breasticles, as they seemed to...

Let's Talk About Camp, Baby!

From the one-piece swimsuits and the oversized free t-shirts all the way to the tearful confessionals and personal testimonies around a bonfire, Evangelical Christian summer camps were a masterpiece of emotional manipulation and unadulterated peer on peer action. Join Lindsay, Meg, and Sarai - a bevy of former camp attendees (and a lifer in the bunch, who would reconvert TODAY if a lifelong summer camp job opened up for her) - as they discuss the Camp ExperienceTM. Whether they were finding snea...

It Was Never About Babies

What does one do with the conundrum of abortion? When Lindsay, Meg, and Sarai were growing up, the Evangelical Christian stance on abortion was never, ever, no way, no how. The church made specious (and racist, xenophobic, peri-holocaust denying or at best minimizing) arguments meant to tug at the heartstrings of nice, Christian, white ladies. Present-day: billboards litter the interstates of America, showing bright-eyed (almost exclusively white) babies with ominous words like “abortion stops a...

Panic! At The Altar

Here we are, June of 2022. Welcome summer, and farewell Mental Health Awareness Month (May!). But if we go back in time, just a little bit, to remember the good old days of the freewheeling 1980’s - when Evangelical churches and politicians were in the golden age of knitting together the interests of church and state (so cute!)…people were too busy to talk about mental health (at least not at church)…even though Mental Health Awareness Month started WAY BACK in 1949 - oh, we’ve had Mental Health...
