A Little Bit Culty \u2013

There\u2019s a dark cloud hanging over the Independent Fundamental Baptist movement, and our guest today wants you to know about it. Eric Skwarczynski is the host and creator of the Preacher Boys podcast, which is a platform for survivors\u2019 stories and the basis of an upcoming documentary film about a deeply disturbing pattern of sexual predation and abuse claims within\xa0 the IFB. Eric joins us to talk about blowing the whistle on the IFB, what sucks about purity culture (hint: everything), and what it will take to create a sea change among current congregants, leaders, and pastors. He also gives us the scoop on his new podcast: Figuring it Out which currently features life advice from Shaq (!!!)

Also be warned: This episode contains graphic descriptions of child abuse and other completely fucking horrifying stuff. It will disturb you, and probably make you pretty irate. It made us shakey mad and more than a little sick to our stomachs to research this thing. (What the actual fuck, IFB. Get your shit together.)

Here\u2019s Spirit of Fear, \xa0the Fort Worth Star-Telegram expose that was published in 2018, which we quote early in the episode.
