b'This week\\u2019s show is a\\xa0Deconversion Anonymous\\xa0episode. My guest this week is Colin. Colin absorbed his mother\\u2019s Evangelical Christianity. He has mostly good memories of the people in church. He bounced from his mother\\u2019s to his father\\u2019s families never quite fitting in. He hung on to his Christianity long after he recognized it no longer brought him \\u201cpositive results\\u201d out of fear of losing everything: salvation, community, and identity. My first and only real religion is inclusion.
Colin\\u2019s doubts began young with a dynamic Sunday school teacher who was not allowed to preach in church and a gay uncle he was not supposed to approve of. Colin recognized that love demands inclusion. He felt it was his moral obligation to be inclusive. In his late twenties, in therapy, he experienced true acceptance. Even while he was explaining to his therapist he was still a virgin, having been a part of the purity culture of the \\u201990s. Colin\\u2019s story takes a dramatic turn of self-discovery. He discovers himself and discovers his voice. He then experienced more acceptance telling his story of recovering from growing up Evangelical to non-christian audiences. Colin tells his story with rawness, honesty and a great deal of humor. Interact Deconversion
