Ginna: Deconversion Anonymous

Published: Oct. 11, 2021, midnight

b'This week\\u2019s show is a\\xa0Deconversion Anonymous\\xa0episode. My guest this week is Ginna. Ginna is a software developer in her 30\\u2019s. She went through deconversion in her 20\\u2019s after suffering depression during her college years. Even though there were Christians around her who were on medication for their depressions no one was public about it. The implied stigma kept her from reaching out for help and kept her from finding the right treatment when she did. After college she went to a \\u201d\\xa0shelter for honest questions\\u201d called L`Abri to find answers to her questions. Her questions were pointed and personal. The questions of theodicy, divine hiddenness and theological evil. She \\u201chad a really good time, but [she] didn\\u2019t get answers to the questions that [she] had.\\u201d After a brief stint in a liturgical church, which she loved, she stopped going to church and gained some perspective. She realized she could no longer believe in a god where there was no practical difference between non-existence and said god being evil. Ginna eventually received the help she needed for her mental health. She had to try multiple different doctors and therapies until she found the right combination. Today she is excited about exploring secular community and growing as a human being. Interact We are very excited to announce the new private Deconversion Anonymous Facebook Group. The group will be administered by Arline from episode 71. Please join us in building a community of graceful human beings. Deconversion Anonymous Facebook Group
