Brette: Deconversion Anonymous

Published: May 10, 2021, midnight

b'This week\\u2019s show is a\\xa0Deconversion Anonymous\\xa0episode. My guest this week is Brette. Brette was so serious about her Christianity in junior high her goal was martyrdom. In her young adulthood, she followed her pastor\\u2019s advice and attended Master\\u2019s Commission, similar to a discipleship training program. Her experience there was nothing short of psychological torture. Her faith began breaking down as did her physical and psychological health at Master\\u2019s Commission. It included deliverance sessions and enumerating her demons. It wasn\\u2019t until she saw her younger brother being treated poorly that she began to question. She and her brother left: \\u201cleaving was the BEST feeling!\\u201d After a brief stint in \\u201cspiritual but not religious\\u201d land, she finally admitted she no longer believed in god. She let go of \\u201ctrying to make it be true.\\u201d Brette has since discovered naturalistic and psychological explanations of her experiences that have given her more closure and comfort.
